1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

NEW: Denmark reportedly prepared for a possible U.S. attack on Greenland. In January 2026, Danish soldiers were flown to Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq under Operation Arctic Endurance, carrying explosives and blood supplies, ready to defend the island if President Donald Trump attempted to seize it by force. Plans included destroying key runways to prevent U.S. aircraft from landing, ensuring that any attack would come at a high cost. The operation involved elite Danish units, including the Dragoon Regiment and Jægerkorps forces, alongside French alpine troops, with additional support offered by Germany, Norway, and Sweden. Sources emphasize that while European allies stood ready to assist, it was Denmark’s own planning and readiness that created the strongest deterrent, signaling clearly to the U.S. that Greenland would not be taken easily. The crisis escalated after the U.S. military operation in Venezuela on January 3, 2026, which made officials fear that Greenland could be next. Overnight, what had been a simmering concern became an urgent, all-hands-on-deck defense of the Kingdom, with Europe coordinating closely but leaving Denmark in the leading role. Sources describe the preparations as unprecedented since World War II. Soldiers were fully armed, deployed under the royal defense order, and ready for combat. F-35 fighter jets and naval assets were mobilized, while multiple European allies offered troops, air support, and naval presence. Operation Arctic Endurance was officially presented as a military exercise, but insiders stress there was nothing simulated about the readiness. Although President Trump later publicly ruled out military force, sources warn that the Greenland crisis is not over. Trump is here for three more years a high-ranking Danish source says. No matter what happens, the distrust and challenge to the Commonwealth will persist as long as he aims to go down in history by expanding U.S. territory. For French officials involved in the crisis, the past year under Trump has been a stark lesson: Europe must relearn the grammar of power and cannot assume that military support from the United States will always be available if Europe faces threats.
