🇸🇪 PM:
"Some officers from the Swedish Armed Forces are arriving in Greenland today. They are part of a group from several allied countries. Together, they will prepare upcoming phases within the framework of the Danish exercise Operation Arctic Endurance. At Denmark’s request, Sweden is sending personnel from the Swedish Armed Forces."
Thank you, Sweden! 🇸🇪

Greenlandic 🇬🇱 citizen here,
The United States has had an extensive military presence in Greenland — and chose to dismantle it.
During and after World War II, the United States established a broad network of military bases and installations across Greenland. These included Narsarsuaq (Bluie West One), Ikateq (Bluie East Two), Bluie East One, Camp Century, and Kangerlussuaq (Søndre Strømfjord Air Base).
In total, the United States operated approx 15–17 bases and major installations in Greenland. Most were closed shortly after the war. Camp Century was abandoned in the 1960s, and Kangerlussuaq — the last major U.S. air base — ceased to function as an American military base in 1992. Only today Pituffik Space Base remains, with 150 American soldiers.
This large-scale drawdown was not the result of Danish inaction, but of American strategic choices made during a period when the Arctic was assessed as a lower security priority.
Since the 1951 Defense Agreement between the United States and Denmark, the United States has had the legal right to establish, maintain, and expand its military presence in Greenland. That option already exists.
If the United States now considers Arctic strategically critical, this does not require new narratives or the reassignment of blame. It requires American decisions and American investment — within the framework of an agreement that has been in place since 1951.
Respect the people of Greenland - They deserve to decide their own future even though Denmark is pay and pave the road ahead in mutual respect for the history and the people of Greenland 🇬🇱 Denmark 🇩🇰
Statement by the Premier of Greenland, Jens Frederik Nielsen:
January 4, 2026
“🇬🇱 Let me state this calmly and clearly from the outset: there is neither reason for panic nor for concern.
The image shared by Katie Miller, depicting Greenland wrapped in an American flag, changes nothing whatsoever. Our country is not for sale, and our future is not decided by social media posts.
That said, the image is disrespectful.
Relations between nations and peoples are built on mutual respect and international law — not on symbolic gestures that disregard our status and our rights.
We are a democratic society with self-government, free elections, and strong institutions. Our position is firmly grounded in international law and in internationally recognized agreements. This is not in question.
Naalakkersuisut (Government of Greenland) continues its work calmly and responsibly. We engage in dialogue, safeguard our interests, and uphold the international rules that also bind our partners.
There is no reason for panic.
But there is every reason to speak out against a lack of respect. 🇬🇱”
@RasmusJarlov Der er vel ikke meget andet end at tilføje, at magt historisk og erfaringsmæssigt korrumpere - Og selvom hr. Coridon nu sidder for bordenden i DR mon så ikke, at “han” giver lidt igen efter Fr. Frederiksen på sin måde smed Fr. Thorning under bussen…….
@RasmusJarlov Try to post the same on Truth social i.e @@realdonaldtrump and se what happens🥸 I’m sorry to predict that your properly will see that the people that follow POTUS will disagree that Greenland will love to be part of the USA -They are, sorry to say, not the smartest people around
It is very hard to deal with this. Here is a USA senator saying that the people of Greenland are "all in on it".
The leader of Greenland viciously says no. Every single member of the Greenlandic parliament says no. They just had an election two weeks ago. No one who wants to be American was elected. Not a single one.
A recent very large poll showed that 85% are against leaving Denmark to become part of the USA. Only 6% supported it.
It is almost unanimous. Never has a NO been clearer.
Yet these f..... people just continue to lie and tell the American public that people in Greenland want to be part of the USA. And the American "journalists" let them get away with it.
It is unbelievable.

Here is Europe. We have happily paid three times as much to Ukraine as the USA. We are not asking for anything in return and we are not extorting the Ukrainians while they are fighting for their lives. Because we are not assholes.
@RasmusJarlov Nemlig!

På egen krop har jeg oplevet det smukke og selvstændige Grønland igennem 18 måneder. Og ja, Grønland har udfordringer som kan hjælpes (og læses) i regi af Rigsfællesskabet og IKKE ved en såkaldt “fri” association aftale med USA!
Præcis som Mette Lübeck har jeg boet og arbejdet i Grønland. Et fantastisk land med rigtigt mange skønne og dejlige mennesker. Men er de klar til at tage ansvar?
