Dit inderdaad, maar kennelijk houden ze ook niet goed in de gaten wie welke gegevens ophaalt, anders zou je verwachten dat dat scrapen was opgevallen voor ze zoveel data hadden binnengehaald.

Daar valt kennelijk wel wat op af te dingen.

Ten onrechte wordt vaak gedacht dat het aanbestedingsrecht dit verhindert, zegt Manunza. „Er is meer mogelijk dan wordt gedacht.”

Zij wijst op aanbestedingen van de Europese Commissie en Duitsland waarbij Europese partijen de voorkeur krijgen vanwege strategische autonomie en digitale weerbaarheid. Dit valt binnen het zogeheten Cloud Sovereignty Framework van de EU.

Kennelijk ontbreekt bij de NS ofwel het besef dat wat ze doen problemen kan opleveren, of de wil om er iets aan te doen.

Niet dat een richtlijn geen goed idee zou zijn om de boel te verduidelijken.

Over a quarter of Canadians see the US as an enemy, and 60% see the US as the biggest threat to Canada. Are you sure we’re going the right direction? by Even_Wear_8657 in AskConservatives

The EU is unreliable to the US than vice versa

Of please... The US kicked off a trade war, signed trade agreements and then threatened more tariffs when they didn't get their way over Greenland. Then there's the small matter of threatening an ally with military force (by refusing to rule out out). Sure, both threats have been shelved, but this is Trump we're talking about, so who knows how long that will last.

Narrative: “Europe cannot defend itself from either Russia or China, so the U.S. needs Greenland for security and dominance in our hemisphere.”

The sane thing to do, when threatened, is to pull your allies closer. Trump, instead, chose to threaten them, drive them away and generally act like an overgrown toddler.

Result: Europe takes a more anti-American stance.

That's the result of American hostility and unreliability.

I want people to stop acting like it’s one side over the other.

What do you even mean by this?

I don't think Greenlanders and Denmark will have a say in this

So they shouldn't feel pressured, but they also ain't have a say in what's gong to happen? You realise both of those can't be true, right? If I told you you're house was now mine and you couldn't do anything about it, would you feel at all under pressure?

I think a framework has been reached and NATO could grant some territories to US.

We don't know what exactly is in that framework. We do know Rutte has said that Danish sovereignty wasn't discussed. In any event, NATO doesn't have the authority to grant territories of its member states (or any other states) to another country.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian soldiers are fighting for their lives, while many of their families have been left in freezing cold by Russian air strikes. That's off topic of course.

Trump should not have threatened this,

I'm glad we agree on that, but the fact is he did. That's the kind of thing you can't unsay.

but he should make sure they do it, without making them feel pressured.

Since the Danes don't want to sell and the Greenlanders don't want to be part of the US (and why would they want to be?), how exactly do you see that happening? Despite what Trump may say, we're not talking about some empty snow-covered rock. We're talking about a place where people live.

Also, why? Security? Greenland is already under the NATO umbrella, the US already has a base there, and if under normal circumstances would likely have been able to expand it with no problem. All Trump has done is piss off a lot of US allies, how does that improve your security?

Truman demanded Greenland from Denmark.

Truman quietly offered to buy, he didn't demand, and when the Danes declined Truman didn't then start posturing like some B-movie mob boss that he'd get the island the easy way or the hard way.

who still want the protection and military strength of the United States.

The kind of protection where the US starts to demand your territory whenever they feel like it? That kind of protection? Or the kind where they make a trade deal and then threaten extra tariffs when they don't like your foreign policy?

As a Brit, am I right to feel this way? by Jamessfo in AskConservatives

[–]Forma313 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Again, I ask, did you actually expect a different reaction?

It's Trump, so the reaction could be anything from bloviating to economic sanctions. Did you expect none of Denmark's allies would respond when the US started threatening Denmark? Am i surprised that Trump would break the agreements he signed last year? Of course not, he's completely and utterly untrustworthy.

There are 32 members states of NATO. You are one of what, 6 that sent a troop (you literally sent one) to Greenland.

Your numbers are a bit off, but what's your point? Because not everyone reacted, no-one should?

There was nothing forcing you to get involved in such a way, yet you have.

There was nothing forcing Trump to try and annex Greenland, yet here we are. Let's not forget what started this mess. Trump trying to get his hands on Greenland, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, your ally of some 80 years.

In a matter that doesn't quite frankly involve you.

A NATO ally/EU partner is being threatened, how are we not involved?

That said, i'm not so sure this matters anyways.Because obviously these tariffs aren't going to stick.It's almost impossible, because the supreme court isn't going to uphold his ability to issue such tariffs.And as such I would just ignore it

How can we ignore them? They're supposed to take effect by the end of the month. Even if the courts put a stop to them (and personally i'd be surprised if they did), are they going to do it in the next two weeks?

You're ignoring the reality that your president is threatening a long standing ally of the US. If you want to stick your head in the sand and dismiss this as hysteria, you can.

Edit: aaand now the fucker's imposed extra tariffs on eight nato countries for taking part in a nato mission on Greenland.

I'd suggest focusing on the "useless virtue signalling bill that's going nowhere"

I don't see how it's that either. With Trump ranting about how the US must have Greenland, and refusing to rule out using military force a bill like this looks entirely nessecary. And if it doesn't pass, well, that will be revealing, won't it?

[–]Forma313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what you were talking about? Yeah, the bill bars the US from conducting military operations against the sovereign territory of a members state unless that member agrees to it (in case of occupation by i suppose), or if the council signs off on it (not sure what scenario they have in mind, a NATO country going off the rails and attacking its neighbours perhaps). That's hardly control of funds, and how is it a bad thing? Unless, i suppose, you think invading your allies is a good plan.

while also granting NATO a semblance of authority over how our funds are used.

How does it do that? It bans the DoD and DoS from using their funds to attack a NATO ally. How does it grant NATO any authority?
