Norway will send two military personnel to Greenland. I know its for mapping out further deployments, but that is pretty funny😂

Statement from the Premier of Greenland 🇬🇱 January 9, 2026 8:30pm local time. We Stand Together as a People As leaders of Greenland’s political parties, we once again wish to underline our firm position that the United States’ disregard for our country must come to an end. We do not wish to be Americans. We do not wish to be Danes. We wish to be Greenlanders. Greenland is a country governed in accordance with the Self-Government Act and international law. The Government of Greenland and the Inatsisartut are elected by the people of Greenland, and through this mandate they cooperate with the United States and other Western countries—a cooperation that will continue in the future. The future of Greenland must be decided by the Greenlandic people. Work concerning Greenland’s future is conducted in dialogue with the population and prepared on the basis of international law and the Self-Government Act. No other country has the right to interfere in this process. We will decide our country’s future ourselves—without pressure to make hasty decisions, without delays imposed from outside, and without external interference. In recent years, we have strengthened our international responsibility and engagement. This has been carried out through official diplomatic channels and in accordance with international principles based on mutual respect, and this approach will continue. We once again call for dialogue to be conducted on the basis of diplomacy and international principles. This is the appropriate path forward for allies and friends. We therefore agree on the following: That intensified and close dialogue with our allies and cooperation partners must be ensured. That a meeting of the Inatsisartut be brought forward in order to secure a responsible, orderly, and united political debate. That, in these extraordinary and serious circumstances, the rights and interests of the Greenlandic people are safeguarded. That we will continue working to develop opportunities that ensure security and well-being for our people throughout the entire country. We stand together in our right to our country, now and for all time. Greenland belongs to the Greenlandic people. Jens Frederik Nielsen, Demokraatit Pele Broberg, Naleraq Múte B. Egede, Inuit Ataqatigiit Aleqa Hammond, Siumut Aqqalu C. Jeremiassen, Atassut

It increasingly looks like the loss of Greenland for Denmark and Europe is becoming likely, and if it happens, it would be a serious blow to Europe’s political and economic future. The USA appears ready to sign a direct agreement with the government of Greenland, effectively throwing the ball to Denmark and Europe, who are now at risk of watching it fly past them with no racquet ready to send it back. Let’s be honest: Denmark’s options are extremely limited. The most obvious response would be to offer more money and investment to Greenlanders in exchange for loyalty. That would look awkward at best, if not insulting. “You mean we could have had all this, but you hid it from us all this time?” The American offer, by contrast, is not primarily economic. It is a promise of national pride, wealth, and independence, or more accurately, a short-lived illusion of all three. Just as with Ukraine, a country rich in minerals and natural resources that was willing to align with Europe, Europe waited too long. Only when Ukraine was barely holding on did it end up forced into a deeply asymmetric mineral deal with the USA in exchange for very little. In the same way, clear signs of Trump’s interest in Greenland were visible since his first term, yet real action was postponed and decisions were procrastinated well into his second term, shrinking Europe’s room to maneuver. As a result, Europe now finds itself increasingly dependent on others for energy resources, critical minerals, and even raw ore, while being squeezed between Russian and American imperial ambitions, with information warfare eroding cohesion from within. At this point, Ukraine’s ability to stop Russia still matters enormously, but even a Ukrainian success would not automatically reverse Europe’s broader strategic drift. This is not yet a point of no return, but the window is closing fast. Without timely and uncomfortable decisions, what follows is not sudden collapse, but a slow and visible loss of agency and drift into poverty that will be far harder to reverse later.
