US threats over Greenland make NATO pointless – member-state PM

Amusing Western imperialist infighting over Greenland is heating up... Get your popcorn bowls ready.

NATO would end up losing its “meaning” if conflicts break out within the bloc, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said, condemning Washington’s renewed interest in taking Greenland from Denmark.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Tusk voiced his support for Denmark in the reinvigorated row between the NATO member state and the bloc’s leader, the US. Washington reiterated its aspirations to get the island under its control, citing national security interests and the need to “protect” the Arctic.

“No ‌member should attack or threaten another member of the North Atlantic Treaty. Otherwise, ‌NATO would ⁠lose its meaning if conflict or mutual conflicts occurred ‌within the alliance,” Tusk stated.

While Denmark could “count on the solidarity of the whole of Europe,” the bloc’s members must “ensure that transatlantic ties, which are the foundation of NATO and our security, do not suffer in the coming days and months,” Tusk added. The remarks come as Poland, alongside Denmark, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, made a joint statement on the Greenland issue.
