Considers
Put up or shut up. The time for strongly worded letters passed like, a year ago.
The EU doesn’t have a president that can make such decisions on a whim and that’s a good thing. Instead this needs to be discussed and voted on in the parliament and for what it’s worth, they seem to be moving extremely fast
My point was that america has made their designs for Greenland clear since January 2025, and has escalated to military threats for at least a month now.
You don’t need a dictator to make decisions faster than that. From practically every western leader (by no means limited to the EU) I’ve seen a whole lot of strongly worded letters with threats to send another, more strongly worded letter if their warnings are not heeded.
Fascists don’t care about these strongly worded letters, they never have and they never will. It’s been demonstrated repeatedly throughout history.
Per the article, they are being drawn up for leverage in meetings with the USA this week. I think they are using far too soft a hand, especially considering other imperialist military action the USA has done this year.
The EU doesn’t have a quasi-dictator like the USA. It does things in agreement with its 27 member countries. They are now being asked. This is good, it means it is a state of law, unlike the USA.
They’ve had plenty of time to draw up real measures against the USA. At least a month since military threats on Greenland started, and at least a year since the USA started talking non-stop about wanting it.
Per the article, this isn’t even being put to a vote, it is being drawn up to use as leverage at the WEF. Fascists don’t care about letters or threats without follow through. So far, from leaders around the world, all I’ve seen is what amounts to economic saber rattling.
Leadership bodies need to stop being Neville Chamberlain about this whole thing. Asking nicely, to a fascist, is as good as doing nothing.
The ACI is the real measure they drew up
The EU isn’t, thank god, run by hotheads. They will not spend their ammunition in advance.
I’m quite happy that our leaders don’t react like Trump. It’s nice to have a few adults in the room. They’re not perfect, but at least they’re better.
Just do it
