    They voted to permit US military bases on Danish soil in 2025, AFTER Trump started talking about taking over Greenland. So Trump made idiotic demand and they rolled over. Now they are trying to play tough. It’s just pathetic.

    Stop everything until either the orange child rapist is killed, dies, is forcibly ousted, or (lol) common sense prevails. Until then any us soldier or worker should be classed as a threat and any unnecessary us personnel should leave. The end.

    Yeah, they could unilaterally pull out of those treaties but they didn’t. Until they do talking about “shooting first” is just idiotic.

      You’d be surprised to learn that Denmark is not really The Netherlands. What the unrelated country had done in 2025 likely has no relation to what Denmark is experiencing.

        Fuck, Danish…

        As my excuse, English is confusing and it’s not my first language. My point still applies to the whole EU though. They have huge leverage over US but are too divided and cowardly to use it.

      It doesn’t matter. They’ve gone from “We might bully you” to “We have the right to take anything we want from any other country”
      And as with any bully you should stand up to them and never back down. It matters fuck all about contracts and treaties and agreements.

      If my next door neighbour said in passing he was going to attack my house, then stated he had the right to attack me in my house you better believe that as soon as I see that neighbour coming anywhere near me then I’m attacking first.
      If you want to cower behind ‘agreements’ then you can. See how that works out for you.

        More appropriate analogy would be that you gave your neighbor a key to your home and now you’re saying that when he breaks into your home you will beat him up him but he can keep the key and can enter whenever he wants.

        “Breaks in” is the important part. Since he has a key your statement is an empty threat but let’s you feel in control.

          Again, it doesn’t matter.
          I could carve a decree in stone that is witnessed by Satan himself that that any neighbour could break in to my house if they want to. It would still be shitty behaviour on their part if they did it, and they should not be shocked if I fight back.
