Germans reportedly set to face US troops in Greenland.
And so we’ve come to the point where the failing German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is flexing his supposed military power, bragging to be ready to simultaneously tackle Russians in Ukraine and Americans in Greenland.
All this, despite repeated reports of unpreparedness in the Bundeswehr.
It may sound like posturing in vain, but German press is reporting that Germany will send its first soldiers to Greenland already this week.
NEW: Small number of German troops to Greenland. Govt statement below
*Just* last week, Defence Ministry told me there were “no discussions” about a deployment to Greenland

BILD Reported (translated from the German):
“As confirmed to BILD by several sources in Germany and Scandinavia, a preliminary squad of some Bundeswehr members is to be sent first. A spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Defense told BILD that he could neither confirm nor deny this.”
“BILD learned: It could start on Thursday. From circles of the federal government and from the Bundestag it was said that a first reconnaissance team will start on Thursday.
Denmark announced on Tuesday that it would significantly increase its own presence. And: other European NATO partners would follow suit.”
The mission – this is relevant – will be coordinated from Copenhagen – and NOT via NATO structures.
“The reason: The Nordic states in NATO – including Greenland – are under NATO command in Norfolk in the USA. However, the mission is to run without the USA. In Germany, the Ministry of Defense and the Chancellery are in charge.”
German Troops will arrive in Greenland tomorrow, under Danish command.
This circumvents NATO command structure, and allows Europe to defend Greenland in case of an invasion. pic.twitter.com/MeT1mdYHC5
