      I just feel scared.

      I just wish that Trump would just shut up about Greenland.

      Denmark is concerned about Russia not the US, despite the clickbait title. As the article notes, this has been planned for a while. Sadly, people are already attributing this as a victory for Trump, suggesting this was Trump’s intention all along.

      Every time France pushes the “strategic autonomy” of Europe (that they have preached for the past 70 years) it is being taxed as disingenuine or unreliable, and those countries keep buying US military equipment and subcontract their security to the US… Until a strongman with imperialist views come into power in the US and sh*t hits the fan…

      Really makes you wonder what the world would look like if the Vikings had colonized North America all those years ago

      Demark has nothing to fear so long as US feels secure in its hegemony. You generally only see consolidation of allied possessions when a hegemonic power has lost its thucydian struggle and seeks to remain relevant.

      This is just rhetoric that Trump pushes to seem strong to his base, despite a bunch of articles claiming that “this time it’s serious” I have a hard time believing it until we see more serious and concrete steps taken.

      Besides all parties here being a part of NATO, the US literally has had a military presence in Greenland since 1943 at the Thule Air Base , now known as the Pituffik Space Base. There’s literally no real reason for the US to invade, as it already has access to the territory, and the negative press from the conflict would heavily outweigh any benefits that controlling it would bring.

      Never say never, but it’s highly unlikely.

      Greenland already provides surveillance stations via Thule (Pittafik) Soce Force Station on incoming high speed projectiles from Russia.

      Not sure what more Trump seeks

      Did Trump shit talking force this to happen?

      Unlikely. Such large amounts don’t get announced without a lot of work 

      Of course it will seem that way, so his supporters will love it. But, shit talking only goes so far. If this announcement was going to happen anyway, Trump is just taking credit for what would happen anyway

      Which means the risk of shit talking at the wrong time or the wrong place and unnecessary escalation

      The US has MULTIPLE military bases in Greenland and one time secretly stored nuclear weapons there without the knowledge of the Danish government. Ever heard of Thule Base?

      Get off your high horse and staunch your bleeding heart. Denmark isn’t preparing for an American invasion. The American military is already there.
