While Trump claims Denmark has done too little to defend Greenland, former Foreign Minister of Denmark Villy Søvndal writes on Facebook, that the US used to have 10,000 troops on multiple bases in Greenland; but when he visited Greenland recently, he discovered those numbers have been reduced to around 140 soldiers.
So the question is: If the defence of Greenland is so important to the US, why has the US cut the defence budget and reduced their presence to just 1 military base?
I’d be interested in your reaction to this piece (gift link) in The Atlantic: Trump Seizing Greenland Could Set Off a Chain Reaction. A Greenlander and Trump fan, Jørgen Boassen, claims there is more support for annexation than is reported.
@randahl If there's only 140, Greenland should be able to send a few buses to the base and take them to a deportation flight without much trouble.
@randahl And it's about time Greenland kicked out that last remaining US base. Right now the US has an excuse to send more people and equipment there. Remove the base and the soldiers and there's no reason for sending anything there unless they're trying to invade.

Sadly posted on an oligarchs social media platform., abd in doing so continuing to support fascism and corporate misinformation.
@randahl let's place EU forces in Greenland and replace those 140 with at least 5000...
@randahl Italy needs defending so takes France Switzerland Austria Slovenia Croatia! Ursula van whatever smiles and agrees This EU would’ve applauded Hitler as it does Israel. Has it reached the end of its useful life? Plenty of intelligent, educated , productive people in Asia, Africa: it is their time to take over the hegemony of this planet! As for the revolting blob in the white house and his millions of ignorant revolting blob voters let’s make them irrelevant maybe with laughter to start!
@randahl Defend Greenland from...? Has there been an invasion there that didn't make the US news?
@randahl You can’t invade a country while having 10.000 soldiers who are friendly to the Greenlanders. Too big of a connection to pursue an illegal order.
I still believe he wants territorial expansion so he can pinch Canada. It’s all about building an empire for him. The show of looking strong.
@randahl DOGE did its job even there... 😁

#greenland is about #USA national security as much as
#Venezuela was about #drugs as much as
denying healthcare to poor kids in blue states is about #fraud as much as
keeping #Epstein files secret is about victim protection.
This administration is simplify flooding the space with lies and doing things that no decent person would.
While we try to make sense of it they do the next thing ... 🤮
