    I feel like it’s time Denmark also took a stand, and set requirements that if USA is to have any military bases and personel on Greenland and Denmark, it should be a condition that USA won’t show any interest it anexing or invading the country - although this should be self explained between allies

      That’s the problem with the orange child rapist. You can’t take his word or anything he signs for granted as it’s worth nothing. Denmark (and the rest of the NATO) should start attacking the US where it hurts them more: money. They have military strength, but that’s all. At this point it’s just them against the world, and as much military as they might have, attacking their wallet will make even their military crumble almost instantly.

        Not just the orange child rapist, but the occult gang of Thiel, who also murder gays and know about the antichrist.

        By 2026 in religious America I would have hoped that anyone even knowing about the antichrist should be arrested and detained on suspicion of being the antichrist.

        It would be hard for the small country of Denmark to hit the world’s biggest economy in any noticeable way though

            It would be hard to convince, let’s say, Turkey, Poland or Italy that some Danish island in the Atlantic is their problem too

              And this is what they mean with the “death of NATO”, if precedent is set that Article 5 is voluntary the whole point of NATO collapses.

              Good thing Denmark has a similar clause with both the Nordics and the EU, who although unhappy to go to war do see the value of keeping obligations toward friends and allies.

          Eh, so many things rely on international cooperation to “make sense”. If Europe or any member states, for example, stopped recognizing US copyright or anti-circumvention laws, it would be a significant hit to their position of dominance that was built upon decades of allies granting it to them through treaties.
