minus-squareSmoothOperator@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoWhat tax money? Greenland’s defense is funded by Denmark. If your country uses its military to aid Denmark and Greenland that’s not Greenland’s or EU’s fault, that’s a decision made by your government.

minus-squareSmoothOperator@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoDenmark demands nothing, where are you getting that from? Any troops or military aid sent to Greenland were sent freely and independently by individual states. What exactly do you think has happened?
minus-squarewoelkchen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoI oppose “freely sent help” to a country/territory that opposes us in the EU. They left the EC in 1983. That’s a fact.
minus-squareSmoothOperator@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months ago That’s a fact. Yes I oppose “freely sent help” to a country/territory that opposes us in the EU. Fair. But how is it Greenland’s or Denmark’s or anyone’s fault if e.g. France voluntarily sends support? Isn’t that France’s own fault?
