Conflict around possible American seizure of Greenland island only intensifies further. However, this doesn’t prevent issuing permits for selling Denmark weaponry, such as AGM-114R Hellfire II missiles and associated equipment for $45 million.

According to a published U.S. State Department permit document, Danes want to purchase up to one hundred missiles, three stationary test missiles, six M299 launchers, two MHU-191/M transport trailers, and three BRU-14 holders. This will also include logistics, support services, spare parts, technical documentation, and software.

The sale is stated to help advance American geopolitical interests and improve NATO security. This is very interesting considering the surrounding political situation around Greenland island, which supposedly needs to be surrendered for White House needs.

Worth noting here: so far most threats sound only verbally, without special practical changes in U.S. policy. Meanwhile, Denmark remains a long-time ally, so there is no need to refuse it weapons sales.

    I meant the other guy. But very American of you to think I’m against you even when I’m supporting you.

      Wait, you think I’m the guy who’s glazing the US? My whole argument is about how Denmark and their allies can effectively defeat the USA…

      Anyway, ITT if you look at either of our profiles, it’s pretty clear that neither of us are bots…

      And I have a Danish mother and American father and have lived almost exactly half my life on each continent, so I’m not sure you could find someone at least demographically more neutral on this issue, though politically I am fully on Denmark’s side and against anything Trump does.
