      Yeah, pisses me off. The entire defence of Europe falls upon Ukraine’s shoulders.

        To be fair Greenland belongs to the EU, Ukraine not.

        Edit: To be more exact: The people of Greenland belong to the EU, so the EU has a much greater obligation to protect them (in contrast to Ukrainian people).

          No, it isn’t part of the EU.

          It is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, which isn’t in the EU. Only Denmark, a country within the Kingdom is in the EU.

          However, the citizen of Greenland are citizen of Denmark, thus EU citizen.

          But you are right that Greenland has a closer relationship with the EU, then Ukraine. And the EU and allies want to protect its citizens at least. And via its member state Denmark, the constituents of Kingdom of Denmark as well.

          Edit: To be honest, I have no clue what happens to citizen of Greenland, if US would take over… Would they be EU and US citizen? Would they have to leave? Well… Let’s hope that doesn’t get answered anytime.

            I laid out the plan for that, yes. America wont budge. Until then, more nukes. Ukraine needs to get nukes and can lose their nukes again when north korea does
