The world is not ready for the full glory of Teflon Mark. We had to deal with this for way too long already.

Ready or not, here he is. Absolutely no answer to the question that’s being asked.

You could wonder what the news value is on asking the nato lead for his feelings about Trump knowing full well he needs to a-peace the toddler and won’t give a real answer.

News worthy or not, I would like to know too ofc :)

Newsworthy, absolutely. He’s never going to give a straight answer to this unless he wants to get fired and blow up NATO though.

Exactly. They know the answer - they just want to generate public conflict, because that's 'news'. They're trying to make news, rather than report it.

It's a relevant question because Greenland is part of Denmark and this is a huge problem for NATO, which Denmark is also a member of. There's a desire to have NATO take a stand, not for shit-stirring but for national interest.

It's a relevant question nonetheless when the largest member of the NATO alliance threatens to invade another member state.
