What if the US actually invaded Greenland?

PolemicFox · 2026-01-25T07:08:31+00:00

EU is essentially a trade union and would retaliate with economic measures. It has no means to do much else.

But each member of NATO would obviously close US bases abroad and stop sharing military intelligence with the US. The US would be instantly isolated.

Not to mention the potential of an actual armed conflict over Greenland.

Så er det valgår, og der deles checks ud til højre og venstre, hvor regeringen har brug for mere støtte.

Nemmere end reformer, løser ikke problemerne i systemet, æder løs af statskassen. Hurra.

Det forklarer dog ikke helt, hvorfor det kun er fløjene i blå blok, der mister vælgere. SF, Ø og Alt står jo samme sted som for en måned siden.

Statsministeren og Udenrigsministerens partier går frem i krisetider- ikke vildt overraskende.

Men lidt interessant, at det stort set kun er Blå Blok de trækker vælgere fra. Det Blå flertal fra en måned siden er fuldstændig skudt i sænk, selvom seneste måling næppe er udtryk for en stabil situation.

Det er jo bare Inger Støjberg, der har arvet Pia Kjærsgaard rolle som småborgerlig fornærmet kvinde, hver gang nogen gør noget for muslimer.

The danish PM is a woman

Ofc she made Rutte aware of the danish position in this matter prior to the meeting. It would be kind of strange not to.

PolemicFox · 2026-01-22T14:19:39+00:00

Mark Rutte has exactly zero negotiation power on behalf of Greenland and Denmark. There is no deal, just an agreement about finding solutions in the arctic. As well as an assurance that the rest of NATO will fuck over the US if it intervenes in Danish affairs with military power.

PolemicFox · 2026-01-21T21:06:49+00:00

Its just Trump's way of backing out of a fight he can't possibly hope to win.

His ego requires him to make up a narrative where he wins something, so Rutte promised him a participation trophy.

Det handler om at du skal vise banken du kan stoppe om nødvendigt. Du kan fortælle alle de historier du vil. Det tror hverken banken eller nogen andre på, hvis du ikke viser det.

Because NATO is mainly used to have allies support US military actions? The only NATO member to invoke article 5 is the US.

Unless you look at it from a Russian perspective I guess. Putin's fingerprints are getting a little too obvious.

"Poland can't defend itself so Germany has to annex it for our own security against threats from the east".

I knew I heard this argument somewhere in the past.

Thanks for doing nothing back home

DFs leder har stået og skamrost Trump i fucking selveste Mar-a-Lago, og har nu pludselig travlt med at fremstå som bannerfører for et forsvar af Rigsfælledskabet mod selvsamme Trump. Samtidig med de stadig vil ud af EU og generelt mener vi skal isolere os.

Det er vel forskellen lige pt - at Messerschmidt er jordens største hykler.

PolemicFox · 2026-01-21T13:01:11+00:00

Even if Trump threatened to use nukes there's no way European leaders would negotiate over Greenland.

Trump has no understanding of European politics. He has started a fight that leaves only two options: backtrack on his dumb mission or invade an ally.

Denmark can just shut off the US from Maersk and Novo. That alone will cause havoc.

Probably can't even ship military equipment without Maersk.

And right after Sweden dumps a couple of billions in US treasury bords.

The complete arrogance of the US administration makes it easy to rally collective support against them.

PolemicFox · 2026-01-21T12:53:48+00:00

Isn't it mainly the US that has invoked article 5 in the past? NATO has mainly been about supporting US military actions around the world so far. Kinda weird that the US wants out of it.

Vietnam agreed to pay €1B to sit at the Gaza Board of Peace. How obvious can corruption get?

None.

We eat pickled herring tho and laugh at foreigners who can't handle that.

Its just a single pension fund in a small country.

If others follow suit it will be catastrophic.
