    No, they made the US agree to join a workgroup to figure out how to proceed. This is a political tool we have seen tons of times in internal affairs when the politicians want to buy time, delay, and then 2-5 years later receive a report of the findings which they will subsequently ignore. Highly effective.

    In other words, Denmark defeated the military might of the US with diplomatic bureaucracy.

      If it is a well known tactic then it is likely a facade. My guess is both sides are making preparations for violence.

        That’s not a bet, that’s a fact. There’s a multi national force on it’s way to Greenland to put themselves in the way so even if NATO or the un fail to intervene the US would be picking a fight with a half dozen well armed nations.
