What exactly would the frogs do about it if we flew our military aircraft in their airspace?

Answer.

Nothing.

Nothing good would come from it, either.

We should and will comply with their wishes. We should also GTFO of NATO, like yesterday.

Same as always: Remember in 1986 when France and Spain denied US overflight to hit Libya, So Reagan sent FB-111's around and did it anyway.

We need to get out of the UN and NATO immediately and tell them to frick right to hell off

Maybe because they don’t want their country to get bombed?

Pull out of NATO and Europe entirely, save American tax payers trillions, and let Europe fund their own self defense


Let France sustain their own national sovereignty

Probably why they are always the first to raise the white flag

Bombed by transplanted immigrants.

They want to cut their own deal.

This isn’t any different than Michel Jobert at the WEC in 1974. France and other European nations are looking for an off-ramp in an oil crisis that once again involves Israel and the United States.

The only difference is that we only had backchannel talks about using force back then. We just kicked the hornets nest without letting anyone know we were going to this time.

Sure thing. Of course, we'll need to leave it to France to keep Putin out of their air space.

Europe and the US are no longer on the same page. It's time to break that alliance.

They denied use of airspace when our F-111's bombed Libya in '86. I still say the hit on the French embassy was a mistake....

I’d imagine Putin is loving the possibility of a NATO breakup.

Wrong. Macron would go on T.V. and call Trump 'a big patooty-head!' That'll show him.

Losers know how to lose, they've had a lot of practice at it.

France is already a frying pan of hot grease since they imported millions upon millions of subs to replace their own people. Worry about it getting worse is not a distant thing as France is already under attack

I agree but the money we are spending on their defense should be put into massive amounts of drones and anti drone\missile systems.

And this has shown how important Greenland really is.
