@Mio_Mind Cool. We won't hold the Straits open. It's your loss- we don't use them.

@OJoelsen Again with the 'blowing up runways' thing. What's the major terrain feature in Greenland? Ice. US transports have rough field capabilities. Not to mention Ospreys and helicopters. And how were they planning to get food and other supplies in once the runways were gone???

Denmark prepared for a possible U.S. attack: Flew blood supplies to Greenland and planned to blow up runways Key sources in Denmark and Europe are now revealing for the first time what happened during the most critical days, when Donald Trump threatened to take Greenland “the hard way.” When Danish soldiers were rapidly deployed to Greenland in January this year, they brought explosives with them. The plan was to destroy runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq to prevent American military aircraft from landing troops on the island, should the U.S. president ultimately decide to seize Greenland by force. They also transported blood supplies from Danish blood banks so wounded personnel could be treated in case of combat. This is reported by DR, which over the past year has spoken with central sources in the Danish government, top military officers, and high-ranking officials and intelligence sources in Denmark, France, and Germany. All sources have played—and continue to play—key roles in the international crisis triggered by the United States’ demand for control over Greenland. Together, the sources describe an unprecedented year marked by sleepless nights. None of them had concrete intelligence of specific American attack plans against Greenland. Still, many feared in January that the historically important ally, the United States, could attack at any moment. At the same time, Denmark reached out to its European allies, leading to closer cooperation. “With the Greenland crisis, Europe realized once and for all that we must be able to handle our own security,” said a French senior official involved in the intense period. A rapid-response force consisting of Danish, French, German, Norwegian, and Swedish soldiers was first deployed to Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq. Shortly after, a main force followed, including: -Soldiers from the Danish Dragoon Regiment in Holstebro -Elite troops from the Jaeger Corps -French alpine troops trained for cold and mountainous warfare At the same time, Danish fighter jets and a French naval vessel were sent to the North Atlantic. According to several sources, the goal of having multinational troops on the ground was to ensure that any U.S. attempt to take Greenland would require a large-scale hostile action—thereby deterring such an attempt. “We have not been in such a situation since April 1940,” said a Danish defense source, referring to the days before Denmark’s occupation during World War II. Unlike in 1940, when Denmark chose not to resist militarily, the government and defense leadership this time decided—after extensive confidential discussions—to take the opposite approach: If the U.S. attempted an attack, Danish forces would be armed and ready to fight. Danish F-35 fighter jets deployed north were also fully armed. All this despite the understanding that Denmark could not realistically withstand a U.S. military attack. “The cost for the U.S. had to be raised. The U.S. would have to carry out a hostile act to take Greenland,” said a senior Danish defense source. Source: DR

Montana and Wyoming are sister states and you're not welcome in either one of them. Why? Because if you weren't raised here, you will never fit into our world. Here's the annual machine gun and cannon shoot. You're not ready for our culture.

@StealthQE4 They use the Straits of Hormuz; we don't. Why is it out of line to ask them to contribute?

For the first time in modern history, our allies are saying they won’t stand with us. That doesn’t happen by accident it’s the result of reckless leadership and burned alliances. Trump didn’t put America First, he put America alone and damaged our global reputation.

It's a shame that only American citizens vote in the US presidential election. Ideally, every person on earth should have a say in who becomes a US President because the US president seems to have a say in how people live anywhere. If Trump can throw every country off balance with his actions, citizens of every country should have a vote in deciding who they want to be ordering around wars. Wild.

@BenjaminPDixon An atheist, by definition, cannot follow God. If you mean they are more moral, then the questions becomes: who created the morality you aspire to?

@AnalyticaCamil1 they wouldn't have sent a frigging thing. They don't have the capital or resources to support an expeditionary task force.

Are you shitting me Johnathan? The Danes would’ve already sent several frigates if we ‘hadn’t’ spent months telling them “we want Greenland, and we’re willing to take it by force.” Why, exactly, would they deploy assets they’d need to defend Greenland against an American operation to seize it to the Middle-east?

Who else remembers half of Europe laughing at Trump when he said America needs to own Greenland because we can’t trust Denmark to fully cooperate in a war?

@mdradvies You act like you have no vested interest in keeping the straits open. If that's the case then piss off, we'll do it ourselves.

Historian here. I’m seeing a lot of crazy takes about the US and WWII. Nazi Germany declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941. This came just days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The US then declared war on Japan. Germany, as Japan’s ally (via the Tripartite Pact), chose to escalate and declare war on the U.S. But Adolf Hitler already saw the U.S. as an enemy and believed war was inevitable. So this whole narrative by some Americans to the Europeans of “help us now in Iran because we helped you in WWII” doesn’t quite stack up to the realities of history

If you wanted us for the landing, you should have thought of us for the take off. You broke it, you own it.

Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

So many MAGA tards still don't understand that NATO is a defensive alliance, not Trump's personal helpline. They get mad too, they flap their bitch lips, make threats. Trump says he's going to leave NATO, they believe him because they're psychotic dipshit cultists, yet Congress needs to approve any exit of NATO by a 2/3 majority, which isn't going to happen. Unlike Trump most people in Congress don't owe their lively hood to the Russians. You can take the fact that you think "America First" means everyone worldwide should do as you command and shove that up your ass. The US wasn't attacked, so no Article 5 like 9/11 and I'll trust Joe Kent when he says the US was pressured by Israel.

If you’re noticing Tucker Carlson being attacked from literally every direction of the political machine. It’s because they are terrified of him running for president. Because he would win and they know it. And that’s why I’m deeply concerned for my friend Tucker Carlson and his family. These people are vicious and evil and will attempt to destroy anyone and everyone that reveals the truth.
