Is the US insane enough to attack the US because it’s on a US NATO ally’s land when the US attacks the US?
If your head hurts, you don’t have enough denial yet. Use more denial. Pretend this is all sane.

>Andersen stressed the drills were “about what’s going on in Ukraine” and **noted he had never seen any Russian or Chinese ships near the Arctic island**
But Trump said China and Russia were circling like sharks???

It’s actually a cheeky move, because if the U.S. says no, they contradict their own argument about how important Greenland is for international security (which Trump keeps shouting about) if they’re not willing to act on it themselves.
And if they say yes, well then they give legitimacy to Denmark’s argument that the Arctic and Greenland are a NATO matter that can be handled collectively.
Edit: So many stating trump and his hooligans don’t giv a shit which is true. But all logic thinking humans can see it and thats what matters! These are som delicate diplomatic moves by a small nation that does not have a big military!

It’s a damn good thing Trump did not get his wish that all generals swear an allegiance to him. Hoping the military higher ups also stand their ground against a wannabe dictatorÂ

Very clever. They can bypass the president and speak directly to the officers

Europe is smart. This is a psychological play. They want their soldiers to intermingle with ours. They know Trump is trying to break the law.

This is actually quite clever. If the US denies, then their claim of “national security” falls flat. If they accept, then they admit they don’t need total control of the island.

Great way to talk one on one with military leadership.

If US politicians want Greenland so bad why don’t they suit up and invade themselves? The orange buffoon can lead the charge

This is such a good disarming way to offer alms to put this whole stupid thing behind us. Like… Just say they are bolstering their defenses thanks to your threats or something. Like we can’t let this guy invade just someone give him an out that satisfies his stupid lizard brainÂ

Training exercise is the alibi Putin used right before invading Ukraine

It would be interesting to consider a scenario where Hegseth sends illegal troops from the US mainland, but US forces in Greenland fight against those incoming troops alongside European forces.

Smart move, lure them in, give them free healthcare and citizenship and treat them well. Gradually siphon the entire US army over several such “excersises”.

The Strategy of showing them is brilliant.
There is a story of a Hungarian general. In the cold war era the working theory was that the Soviets would push the Hungarians through Austria and use them as meat to be grinded.
The Austrians invited the General back than and took him for a flight over the eastern Alps. A terrain very foreign for the Hungarian army which is simply not prepared for Alpine warfare.
Years later, after his retirement and long after the cold war he was invited by the Austrians again. He gave a speech and said “I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but on that flight I saw that we would have had no chance.”
Arctic warfare could be a concern here that Denmark wants to show off.

AFAIK.. They where invited the last time (last year) and didn’t come

I’m trying to look at this from as unbiased an angle as possible. If Greenland is so important to the US national security then why can’t we just leverage our cold war agreement and significantly ramp up our military presence in Greenland if we want to keep China and Russia out? This is too obvious of a solution therefore the national security angle must be a ruse.

It’s smart to keep this between military men, I like to think senior military leadership in the US know what’s a smart move and what isn’t and this just helps them politically

The US pretty insane right now, but…
