Are Europeans 'pathetic European free loaders'?

[ImmediateReaction]

WhatsApp chat released today from the US calling Europeans 'pathetic European free-loaders'.

One of our closest allies! What about support from European countries after September 11th?

AIBU to expect more professional language?

Russia kept the war going

Hmmm earlier you are calling people children, but have resorted to a childish response with no cogent argument yourself. Your previous posts follow a similar approach, throw childish comments with no actual adult arguments. Such is the UK in the 21stC alas.

Yes.

And how many times: capitulation is not the same as peace through victory. They are exact opposites.

Putin will not stop at Ukraine if Europe is weak. We know that. Trump knows that. But Putin counts on that.

Things seem to have moved on. Reading about the new deal and what it entails. Plus ‘Hungary and Slovakia have both said they will not vote for a roll over of existing curbs’ which is ending this July.

The EU may have decisions to make on backing Ukraine without US or joining in deal.

The latest peace deal that has been described as a Russian wishlist tied with a US bow?

No we are not freeloaders. However, we know that Trump and his ilk are. Look after the richest, is their motto.

Yes. A steal not a deal. See Putin and Bigly planning on sharing the spoils of Greenland as predicted. Not even faintly embarassed about it. If US and Russia take the whole of the Arctic, all of us smaller countries will be fucked. Look at Ukraine. This is very very bad for everyone who isn't Putin or Bigly.

The way the 'us' talk about sharing Greenland is awful, no embarrassment at all. Entitled and stupid.

Advisers went door to door in Greenland yesterday trying to find locals who would pose for photos with Usha Vance. No one would do it.

I hope that he gets the same reception that he got in Vermont.

Greenlanders want to run themselves not be run by bullies from the US. America is tone deaf.

No one would pose for pictures with the wife of J D Vance. Turning their backs and shunning the Vance . Doubt they'll get the message though.

Just watched news report on Vances in Greenland. Apparently Bigly told Vance he had to be there too. I'm hoping he goes further and tells the Vances they have to live there. It looks bloody cold and not one bit like the hallowed walks of Washington and Florida. No less than he deserves, I hope it happens. 🙏

This looks awkward

US Trump regime official and walking meme JD Vance forced to land at Pituffik Base in Greenland where he interrupted and forcibly sat with young soldiers during their lunch time. He gave an awkward speech met by silence, blank faces, and awkward laughter. #standwithgreenland

From his speech in the safety of the US base. No idea if there are protests outside.

In Greenland, Vance is doubling down on Trump’s plan to invade:

“Our message to Denmark is very simple: you have not done a good job by the people of Greenland.

“You have under invested in the people of Greenland, and you have under invested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass filled with incredible people.

“That has to change, and because it hasn’t changed, this is why President Trump’s policy in Greenland is what it is.”

They'll have American democracy at gunpoint, whether they want it or not, the ungrateful Commies. Only Commies wouldn't want their pristine environment raped and polluted so that Americans can have a better way of life.

"This incredible beautiful landmass filled with incredible and very valuable minerals people"

That is vaguely reminiscent of the Iraq war… Do they really expect us to swallow bullshit?

It's bloody insane isn't it? They lie. We know they're lying. They know they're lying and they know that we know they're lying. There is no truth left yet if anyone says so out loud, a tirade of even more lying lies issues forth hoping to confuse everyone further. A pox on all lying fascists, it's their stock in trade.

The US talk on Greenland sounds exactly like Putin before Ukraine was invaded - ‘we have to have Greenland to save us from the ambitions of all those foreign powers circling it’. As if Russia and China are close by at this point in time. And if it was a question of geographical proximity, Canada is closest.

Yes, very much Putin like

Fox News normalising America taking over Greenland 😱

"If we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland, we're big boys"

"We dropped a-bombs on Japan and now they're our top ally in the Pacific"

What a top of the range, deluded idiot he is. He doesn't understand that Japan was a vile regime, which raped, plundered and murdered millions and attacked America.

Greenland is none of the above.
