And they tried to appease Trump some time ago.

They will probably threaten to buy even more American weapons if Trump doesn’t back down.

I think the time for appeasing Trump is slowly coming to an end. If Europe doesn’t make it clear to the US where its red lines are and isn’t prepared to stand up for them, it shouldn’t be surprised if some Americans think that no one will risk standing in their way over Greenland.
That is fatal. If Europeans don’t stand up for their own interests, then they don’t deserve any better.

On a serious note, I do wonder other than direct military force how the US will go about acquiring Greenland.
For example, will they promise security guarantees and troops on the ground in Ukraine to monitor any ceasefire with Russia in exchange for Greenland? Or is this just gonna be bluster from the US for the next three years?

NATO was dead the moment Americans reelected comrade Krasnov. It’s just taken a while for US allies to absorb it.

I think several European nations should station troops on Greenland. Including the UK, Germany and France.

Danish Euroscepticism (Denmark was a major blocking state of EU military integration) biting Denmark on its ass is interesting.

Remember, leaders of Europe.
Hitler took Austria and nobody gave a fuck. Then he came for more.
The US will do the same. First Greenland, then Canada, Mexico… who knows.
If we sit still and let them take Greenland without resistance we are fucking toast.
NC16inthehouse on
I think they got information that the US are planning to invade Greenland really soon.
AdminEating_Dragon on
Meetings, committees, statements…
The only thing the new Fascist America understands is raw power.
Station European troops in Greenland. Move ships and planes there. Maybe some French nukes too.
And announce that the next time Trump opens his mouth about Greenland, the EU will do a coordinated sale of all US bonds and sanction US tech.
When are we gonna find the balls to treat the US as an enemy, and stop pretending there is any regard for international rules?

Denmark literally just re committed to buying more US F-35s. Europe is completely clueless, the only levers of foreign policy they have are strongly worded letters.

Really the only smart play I can see is forming a Greenland militia made up of part timers from the civilian population, and trained in stay behind tactics.
While the upper echelons of the US are now filled with Nazis, there is a lot among the middle especially in the military, that don’t agree with turning on their allies, and still believe in the west as a concept.
The only way the Nazis can easily achieve this annexation, is if its perceived to be buttery smooth *fait accompli,* the idea that US troops would have to ruthlessly suppress, and kill a lot of the civilian population because of a imbedded militia, would be enough to give pause and give internal opponents of the regime ammunition.
It would also increase the odds dramatically of straight refusal from US troops to do the deed.

Can any Danes tell us how the pro-Trump, anti-establishment far right is behaving?

My advice: reach out, very publicly, to China. Crazy talk requires crazy response.

Can’t some intelligence agency get their hands on the unredacted Epstein files and make it some huge world news?

Open question to all the danish people lurking here : are you willing, as a nation, to fight if it comes to it ? Cause as an European ally, we can’t fight at your side if you are unwilling to.

I have stuff in the fridge bought when the USA was an ally of Europe.

I would be really interested to get a statement of Jens Stoltenberg (Nato General Secretary), how he see’s the threat regarding from US to other Nato members, how it fits into the Nato treaty and its paragraph 5 and finally, how such violation of paragraph 5 by another Nato member”partner” such as the US will be answered.

What if trump plays with Putin so Putin attacks on poland through Belarus and Eu countries support poland with their army’s just so Trump moves troops to Greenland
ProductGuy48 on
Denmark can’t do anything by itself and that also applies to each other European country individually. The opponents of federalism (of which a majority of Danes are) need to look at themselves in the mirror now and tell us with a straight face how a Europe of independent sovereign states still makes sense, and how their “brilliant” 20th century model will solve some of these 21st century problems: foreign aggression, global warming (not the cop out climate change term), mass migration, fallen productivity, increased global trade competitiveness, etc.
I’ll wait.
andyrocks on
Why isn’t anyone putting a few infantry battalions there? At least make them fight for it.
pablo8itall on
So what’s the play by the US here.
Keep moaning that they need Greenland.
Are they going to move military units onto it without informing Denmark, because they already have units there, the place is huge and they could setup more bases I suppose and just say we own it now. That would cause some major face aches for everyone, but could be ignored mostly with diplomatic pressure from Denmark/EU.
If they tried to move military units into Nuuk then the shit would really hit the fan.
Try to setup civilian/military settlements to extract oil (or whatever) would cause a showdown. Less so than an invasion of Nuuk.
Try a little green men approach and would also be a ball ache for everyone.
Please just die Trump.

People have been saying Ireland is a back door for countries like Russia to attack Europe. Even though Russia doesn’t really have the means to take advantage of that open door.
If America keeps going the way it’s going, they are the real danger. They want to occupy territories closer to Europe while making threats to European democracy. If anyone is going to take advantage of the open door that is Ireland, it looks like it could be the yanks.
Ingestre on
The EU will agree to monitor the situation. If the shit hits the fan, they will write a very angry letter of condemnation.
sorE_doG on
Am I right in thinking that the current arrangement is that the USA can build whatever military bases on Greenland it wants?
This fulfills Trump’s demand wrt national security. Denmark and European partners need to get this simple message across, repeatedly, loudly, and deal with Putin ASAFP.
With the Kremlin Botox fiend out of the way, all the ancient Monroe doctrine bullsh!t evaporates. Make Russia small again, and it falls under the European sphere of influence, not the other way around.

Next time maybe don’t spy for them.
Also hopefully everyone else understands that appeasement doesn’t work.
