Germany has done more to secure greenland than Ukraine?


Greenland is a non-EU territory of an EU member. Ukraine currently is not part of the EU or its surrounding organizations.


Greenland is in NATO.


After the U.S., Germany is the largest donor of money and kit to Ukraine, approximately 1/3rd of what the U.S. gave under Biden. The cost of 13 soldiers hanging about in Nuuk is a footnote.


That's not how this works though. This is a tripwire. If 13 German soldiers died at the hand of the US it would cause a bit more of a reaction in Germany than sending money to Ukraine.
