French Army General Nicolas Richoux wants the United States to know that if it dares to take Greenland, then the French—and Europeans—“must fight the Americans.” He’s not the only senior European military or political figure who has been advocating hostility toward the United States—a strange prospect, given that the United States is the key backer of all European security.

After all, the Europeans collectively lack an impressive military.
