And it looks like a load of the sanctions against Russia are being lifted by the USA. 🙄

You know, when I was young, America was very anti-Russia ( cold war et al ), an ally of Europe, and run by leaders it was possible to respect. Just saying. 😉

JDV Visits Greenland [BBC Link]

"[JDV] said the visit to the military installation was to check on the island's security, as "a lot of other countries have threatened Greenland, have threatened to use its territories and its waterways to threaten the United States, to threaten Canada, and of course, to threaten the people of Greenland"."

[My underlining] Er which countries would they be then? I can only think of one. Definite case of "Citation Needed"

 

"He added that the Trump administration wants to "reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland", and that the United States and Denmark have ignored it for "far too long"."

[My underlining again] sounds like one of those phrases that will go down in history like "special military operation", "Austria is suffering al of of unrest: it's up to us to sort it out", and "they speak german in the sudetenland so we might as well have that too"

 

ETA

"He added that the Trump administration wants to "reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland" and JDV is an honourable man.
