Prime Minister: The Americans are still our most important ally
Despite the current drama between the USA, Denmark and Greenland, the Americans are still the Danes’ most important ally.
This is what Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) says.
-
Yes, I think so of course, all the while that it was the Americans who saved Europe in the 40s and ended World War II, and because the USA and Europe, together with Canada, have jointly built the strongest defense alliance the world has ever seen, says the Prime Minister.
-
It is still NATO, by the way, but there is a conflict over Greenland, unfortunately. It is not only Denmark and Greenland that believe that there is a conflict that is serious for Europe and the USA. We have received massive support from the major countries in NATO.
Better beg france to share nuclear tech. There likely isn’t enough time to do it from scratch.
France should simply offer select participation in their nuclear program, by way of buying in to maintenance and development, and some staffing on their submarines.
Germany, Poland, Benelux, the Nordics, Spain and Italy would likely join.
A couple more SSBNs with English speaking staffing running under French procedure would work.
But the thorny challenge is to determine who determines when the button is pressed. Extremely clear simple rules, such as “If any member states are attacked with nuclear weapons, the attacker is counter attacked with nukes”. It would be impossible to have a “when the survival of a state is threatened” like individual nuclear states do.
