Q. will Greenland be the litmus test for how Europe responds to Trump?
Nathalie Tocci, thinks it reveals that:
'Europeans are scared. They fear Trump & their fear is paralysing. It freezes their actions & quiets their rhetoric. The more Trump confirms their fears through his repeated threats, the less they are inclined to react. Trump presumably smells the fear & like all bullies revels in it, upping the ante'!
Time to toughen up?
