If the Americans are given Greenland, next they will demand 🇫🇷French Guiana.
Then they will demand 🇬🇧Bermuda. Then maybe the 🇵🇹Azores. Who knows what next.
It's amazing that these establishment European politicians can understand this concept with Ukraine but not with Greenland.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.

🇫🇷 Renault will start producing long-range attack drones in France under a military project called “Chorus.”
Capacity could reach up to 600 drones per month, scaling only if ordered.
If tests succeed, the project could become a €1 billion, 10-year defense contract.
