Summary
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen met in Berlin to address European security threats, emphasizing Russian hybrid warfare in the Baltic Sea.
Scholz highlighted NATO’s new “Baltic Sentry” operation to protect undersea infrastructure following suspected Russian sabotage of Baltic Sea cables.
Frederiksen stressed the need for Europe to strengthen its defense and take greater responsibility for its security.
The leaders also discussed concerns over US interest in Greenland, where Denmark recently announced a $2 billion military investment to counter potential territorial ambitions.

This has arisen in me a suspicion that Trump’s mandate that the US takes Greenland is a ploy to divert some NATO member funds away from Ukraine, and not actual territorial ambition.
Regardless, Greenland is considered NATO via Denmark, and there has been at least some signaling that Congress would resist Trump pulling US out of NATO. It would be disastrously moronic to piss off NATO, and unfortunately “disastrously moronic” doesn’t seem to be a deterrent for Trump. I don’t know where this is going, but I don’t like it either way.
✅ weaken NATO
✅ divert funds and military goods from Ukraine
✅ act like an imperialist dictator
✅ normalize unrestricted use of military power
✅ distract from domestic issues
✅ ignore congress
✅ get access to valuable resources (and real estate!)
Why, as a ruthless, selfish and utterly amoral person would he not do it?
Is that Colin Robinson?

Yeah after Scholz lost his vote of no confidence and is due to be replaced in February, he plays Mr. Toughguy to make life hard for his successor. What a catastrophic cunt.
He’s like the German Biden.
LOL, I wish. We’d run circles around everyone now and probably float the idea of buying the U.S. for real…
