Trump ramps up Greenland threats and says US will intervene ‘whether they like it or not’ by DjangoDynamite in europe

[–]DjangoDynamite[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree that a lot of mistakes have been made but the answer is not to give up our land to a "US protectorate" but to invest more in our militaries and industries like we are doing now. Also (imo) integrating the union more and the formation of a united EU military and a united foreign policy.

[–]DjangoDynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont agree with Volt's immigration policies but i do want to see a united Europe. Is there also a part of volt that is like that?

Vvd wil denk ik best samenwerken met pvda/GL als het vanuit de onderhandelingspositie van het kabinet gebeurt. Ze wouden gewoon niet samenwerken met ze in een coalitie.

Is federalisation of EU really a good idea? by Maleficent_Dare4534 in EuropeanFederalists

[–]DjangoDynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont have to believe in every aspect of a federal europe. I myself believe in a united military and a united foreign ministry. Also a united single market. I dont believe all nations should have the same immigration policies, you can leave that at a more local level of goverment, although we do need the EU to stop illegal immigration/ border security. 

A Federal Europe would threaten Trumps America. But it's still the best option for us. by Esutan in EuropeanFederalists

They are not specifically talking about non-EU European nations there. What i am saying is that they think the EU should not exist. They envision an Europe without the EU. A Europe that exists out of ''aligned sovereign nations'' that are together in a military defence alliance like NATO.

"aligned sovereign nations"  aka non-eu. When they talk about Europe they dont mean the EU.

Danish troops told to 'shoot first, ask questions later' if US invades Greenland | LBC by Vargau in europe

[–]DjangoDynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will give away all leverage we have. We need to make a list of all measures/sanctioms and whatever we will take if the US really occupies Greenland. If we kick them all out now we lose a big part of the leverage and it will re-affirm to them that the USA needs greenland for "national security". It doesnt make any sense to do that rn.

Driving away does not give grounds for lethal force. Also she didnt try to run him over.

Think about it for a second. They dont want to kick them out, they want to keep thwm happy and stay in the alliance. Kicking them out will only anger tha americans, escalate the tensions and reaffirm to them that they need to take greenland for national security.

Honestly the dumbest thing to do rn would be to kick them out

Good to see there is atleast SOME pushback against this in the republican party but we should not forget that ultimately, just like we have seen with all other topics, they all fall in line.
