This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America.
Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion.
They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us.
This was not a drill.
This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans.
Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst.
Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends.
The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world. https://t.co/lxQD3X8jaM
The USA already has a defence agreement with Denmark that gives them exclusive and full military access to Greenland. But they are not using it. They have downgraded their presence by 99%.
Now, apparently, they are telling their base that they need to invade and annex Greenland because they need to have a large military presence.
"I know the Danes pretty well. They’re tough people. It wouldn’t surprise me to see them put a military force there to stand in opposition to a US force,” ~retired Adm. James Stavridis (former NATO Supreme Commander). https://t.co/p5mlR9eZ5Q
To be American is great. To be an American territory…well
Poverty rates:
🇺🇸American Samoa: ~57%
🇺🇸 Puerto Rico: ~43%
🇺🇸 US Virgin Islands: 22–25%
🇺🇸 Guam: ~23%
🇬🇱Greenland: ~10–12% poverty risk
Median income (PPP-adjusted, USD)
🇺🇸American Samoa: ~$18k
🇺🇸Puerto Rico: ~$24k
🇺🇸Guam: ~$35k
🇺🇸US Virgin Islands: ~$37k
🇬🇱Greenland: ~$45–50k (PPP-adjusted household income)
Just worth taking into account when talking about “offers” to Greenland
As many people do not realize the importance of 🇬🇱 Greenland for the defence of the 🇺🇸 US, I will explain it:
• 🇨🇳 chinese nuclear submarines
If you watched The Hunt for Red October, you already know the reason the US has been, is, will be worried about enemy submarines.

🇩🇰 Denmark had now 3 weeks to make some splashy orders of military equipment to hammer home their willingness of defend Greenland.
They could have ordered two FREMM frigates or 24 Eurofighters or 24 Rafales, but they are just sitting in Copenhagen and sucking on their øllebrød.
