This is exactly why we do not want F35s from the USA.
The USA is our enemy.
Canada, Sweden and France could end being the only countries capable of defending Greenland and Europe from the USA.
Denmark is buying all F35s.
They look pretty stupid now.

Member of the ruling mafia party describes US as “dominant predator” in the Western hemisphere.
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

Denmark has said an attack on Greenland would be the end of NATO.

But NATO is already dead, the USA will not defend anybody else, and they have already stated this many times.

we can't afford to look away or be complacent about what is happening in the US.
I wrote this only last week, after saying that Trump seems about to wage war on Venezuela. It seems pretty relevant to what transpired today.

UK and Europe *must* reduce our dependence on America and its technologies as rapidly as we can.

Oh
God honestly. Doesn’t this just sum up Reform. And their plastic patriotism.
Can’t even give a straight answer or follow the rules on their unbelievably naff merch.
So on brand.
Oh well. You sell or wear one of these, you’ve told us all we need to know about you.
