The political message from Europe has to be clear and forceful: If you touch Greenland, that will be the end of US military bases on the European continent (including Ramstein).
Nobody actually said that, there’s an US military base in greenland already.
Yeah but that’s the point. Either you run your bases in cooperation with the host countries, or your established military presence becomes too great of a threat to the sovereignty of the host country to be allowed to continue
That’s what’s so fucked up about all this. USA have downsized their military presence on Greenland by 99% since its peak. Neither Greenland, nor Denmark has opposed them to scale up again. They (Denmark/Greenland) have also declared they’re willing to let US mine for resources.
This seems like nothing but a fixation in Trump about increasing US land area, to boost his personal legacy.
