The EU should stand united against the US right now. Not because it's okay for them to own Greenland, but because the people of Greenland are more threatened by the US right now and the EU may be the only effective deterrence from an invasion.
How exactly do you envision the EU being an effective deterrence against the US exactly? The EU is completely dependent on the US militarily, and now that EU won't trade with Russia, it's also dependent on the US for energy. The US has the EU bent over a barrel at this point.
The EU would have ally itself with China. It is a difficult choice, you have a fascist oligarchy who funded Israel's genocide on one hand (US) vs a communist country that built 40000km of HSR, countless solar panels, the most affordable electric cars in the world, and now a ton of nuclear power plants. I can't tell which country is worse 🙃
You'd think this would be an easy one, but here we are.
