Denmark will strengthen its military presence in Greenland. This summer, they will patrol the island with fighter jets.

The Greenlandic government reports that Denmark will increase its military activity both in Greenland and in the Arctic this summer.

Among other things, fighter jets will patrol over the island's west coast this summer. Two helicopters will also be nearby, and a frigate will be stationed in the northern area to strengthen its position in the Arctic.

- The security political situation requires that the military train on the ability to operate in and around Greenland, says Greenland's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Research Vivian Motzfeldt.

On June 15, French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Greenland, accompanied by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

Greenland has received a lot of international attention after US President Donald Trump said he wanted to take control of the island. Greenland is currently largely self-governing, but is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Both Denmark and Greenland have flatly rejected Trump's approaches.

Denmark could send its entire military to Greenland and we could still conquer the island in less time than the Nazis took to grt the Danes to surrender.

Do you not understand how worthless Europe would be in a military engagement with the full force of American military might? The mere fact that we havent just taken the island already is an act of beneficence on our part.

The moral problem that a perfectly peaceful and friendly ally that sent its people to die for the US in US wars is now having to waste millions of its tax dollars in preparing for an attack by the US doesnt even strike him. A complete moral absence.

Its like a perfectly peaceful school friend that has to start taking taxis to and from school because his old friend has started to threaten him if he doesnt give him his lunchbox, and when the teachers confront him, it doesnt even strike him to reconsider whether its right or wrong. The only thought that occurs to his debased mind is ”So what? I can still steal his lunchbox!”

The inferiority of studying philosophy over history is so well articulated by you.

Another dataset idea.

Actually saw an interview with a former US general who said its impossible for the US to occupy Greenland, because the time it would take to arrange all that would allow the entire western worlds forces to gather in preparation for counter-measures and would lead to total WWIII.

Are you really idiotic enough to believe this? The US isn't going to invade Greenland and even as yet undiscovered tribes in the Amazon know this. President Trump has made a big deal out of Greenland and the Artic region not being secure. This is Denmark responding to try and show they can secure the area.
Also there has been increased talks among the citizens of Greenland that they should become completely independent of Denmark. Denmark hopes this will quell those talks.

However, outside of the Maga cult and all around the rest of the world, Trump is seen as so dishonourable, untrustworthy and off the wall stupid and dangerous, that Denmark has determined it needs to emphasize that it will go to war over Greenland and Macron has deemed it necessary to visit Greenland to signify solidarity, a country he could hardly spell a year ago.

no, you said it was moral problem that Denmark is having to waste millions of dollars preparing for a strike. They aren't reacting to Rugian and you didn't mention him. They are either reacting to something they know will not happen or they are trying to placate Greenland. What Rugian typed plays no part in that.

You are completey wrong. I was addressing Rugians reaction and absence of morality.
