EXPOSED: Europe's PATHETIC 34-Person 'Force' to Defend Greenland Shows Continental Weakness

In a stunning display of European military weakness, the continent that once fielded massive armies capable of conquering continents can now only muster a pathetic force of 34 personnel to defend strategic Greenland. This embarrassing deployment perfectly illustrates why President Trump's America First approach is exactly what our nation needs.

The numbers tell the whole story, Patriots. From the Roman legions that conquered Britain to the massive armies of both World Wars, Europe once commanded respect through military might. Now? They're sending what amounts to a high school class worth of soldiers to defend one of the world's most strategically important territories.

Trump's Timing Couldn't Be Better

This European military embarrassment comes at the perfect time for President Trump's second term agenda. While European leaders scramble to deploy dozens of troops, Trump is rebuilding American military dominance and making it clear that we won't be Europe's security blanket forever.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Trump-Vance administration are watching these developments closely. America has spent decades protecting a continent that can't even properly defend a critical Arctic territory when push comes to shove.

"This is exactly why America First makes sense. We're not going to subsidize Europe's defense while they lecture us about climate change and send 34 people to do a real military's job."

The stark contrast is undeniable: Trump projects strength while Europe projects weakness. Our military under Trump's leadership represents real deterrence, while Europe's token gesture represents everything wrong with globalist defense policies.

What This Means for America

This European weakness validates every aspect of Trump's foreign policy. Why should American taxpayers fund NATO when our so-called allies can barely field a company-sized unit for strategic defense? It's time for Europe to step up or step aside while America leads from strength.

The question every American should ask: If Europe can only send 34 people to defend Greenland, what exactly are we getting for our NATO investment? Trump's got the right answer – America First, and let Europe figure out their own defense for once.

I served in Alaska for 3 years and can tell you the Arctic is strategically crucial. The fact that Europe can't even properly defend Greenland shows how unprepared they are for modern geopolitical realities.

Thank you for your service! My son is stationed in the Arctic right now and he says the same thing about how important that region is becoming.

34 people to defend the world's largest island? That's not even a full platoon! China and Russia must be laughing at this pathetic display.

This is exactly what happens when Europe relies on America for their defense for 80 years! They've gotten soft and complacent while we foot the bill.

Spot on! Denmark has been coasting on NATO Article 5 protection while spending peanuts on actual defense capabilities.

Absolutely pathetic but not surprising!

Wait, is this 34 people total or 34 people deployed at one time? Either way it's embarrassing but I want to understand the full scope of this weakness.
