France to send troops to Greenland for joint exercise with several European countries

The move follows an announcement by Denmark that it will increase its military presence in Greenland immediately. After meeting with the US

Le Monde.fr

As have France.

People in the comments going ‘No need to worry, they only sent 20 people’ as if that’s not the very fucking obvious plan.

Seriously, it’s very clear what’s happening here.

They’re human shields.

There is no force that NATO could deploy to Greenland that could successfully repel an American invasion.

What they’re doing is making a statement: if you want to take Greenland, you have to kill our soldiers too. You will not be going to war with Denmark, you will be going to war with all of us.

This is making it clear to the Trump administration that there will be no political hemming and hawing, there will be no debate over whether they’ll respond to Article 5 being invoked. An attack on Greenland is an attack on all of these nations, because it literally will be.

So think twice.
