    One more example of why Europe needs to be self reliant. The US is never a good ally.

      Denmark helped them spy on the EU a couple years back and now they’re threatening with invading Greenland.

    How does this even work? Do they realize there is no border control or tolls within the EU? If I imported a shitton of GPUs to Germany and shipped them off immediately to Hungary, it would be highly illegal for anyone to stop me.

      The goal is to threaten measures against some countries, have the EU mention exactly that this doesnt work in a single market and then the US be “forced” to act against the entire market, or the pro-US powers bully the other countries into submission to some US rule.
