We have been ready from the beginning and said we are ready to do more and take more responsibility in the alliance in terms of national or international security.

We have been ready to have a better and maybe wider business collaboration. We are ready for investments to cooperate in mineral resources and so on.

We have been ready from the beginning. Our only demand is respect. Stop threatening us.

Look at us as a like-minded partner that you will work together with, not one that you would stomp on.

My people have been under huge pressure for the last 15 months.

It's a feeling of relief if we don't read about it in the paper for a period of time.

Imagine it this way: as a prime minister, you have to tell the people to be "ready; anything can happen; they won't rule anything out." Just to be in that stage shows how seriously we have taken this situation and how serious it has been for the Greenlandic people.

We are not there now, but we are not finished yet either. We are negotiating, but we don't have an agreement.

There are some 17 million French people who are part of the African diaspora — we are part of the African continent.

There are millions of French people who are French Malian or French Algerian or French Senegalese and so on.

We have this great chance to be able to succeed alongside the African continent.

The people have been suffering for many years and are really just punching bags for terrorist groups.

Mali’s coup leaders preferred their own security over the fight against terrorism.

Trump’s war with Iran is illegal.

This is false and salacious reporting that serves as nothing more than a PR campaign for the cartels and puts American lives at risk.

I think there are some positive signs on the battlefield. I do not participate in the wordings about that we see a totally weakened Russia.

My guess is that Russia is preparing themselves to attack into another European country — I actually see no signs of the opposite.

From the beginning of the war, I haven't seen this conflict as a conflict about Ukraine but as a conflict about Europe and Russia's imperial dreams.

When you know that Russia wants the old empire back, then you really have to be aware and stop them before going even further.

Europe has to be able to defend itself totally.

Not only because of Russia, the problems with terrorism coming from the south, and problems in the Arctic region, but also because it's a question about identity.

A Europe that is not willing and not able to defend itself. Who are we then?

You remember the discussion about red lines on long-range missiles and so on? Some allies said no.

We have been asking them to fight for the entire European Union with one hand tied behind their back — that has been a huge mistake.

If you want to win a war, you have to fight it.

When you ask me, what should the democracies do to win the battle on the global scene? There is only one way forward, and it is to be more powerful than the others.
