If we want Greenland we'll have to fight the best in the west to get it. >At the request of Denmark, troops from Sweden, Norway and “several allied countries” arrived in Greenland yesterdayhttps://www.ft.com/content/047a267d-3644-46b4-9848-85dce4678363
>>526056882OR... We could just build defensive bases on Greenland, as per the treaty with NATO.The agreement is still in force and was updated in 2004The main treaty allowing U.S. bases in Greenland is the 1951 Defense of Greenland Agreement, signed between the U.S. and Denmark, which formalizes the U.S. military's broad access for defense purposes, building on WWII arrangements, and remains in effect, governing facilities like Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) under NATO's umbrella. This agreement gives the U.S. significant latitude to operate and build bases to defend Greenland and North America, with recent amendments in 2004 acknowledging Greenland's greater autonomy. Key Details:Origin: Rooted in World War II necessity, the agreement was formalized in 1951 to counter Soviet threats during the Cold War.Scope: It grants the U.S. broad rights to establish and operate military installations, control air and sea movements, and house personnel.Legal Framework: The agreement operates within the NATO framework, linking Greenland's defense to the collective security of the alliance.Current Status: The agreement is still in force and was updated in 2004 to reflect Greenland's increased self-governance, with ongoing cooperation between the U.S., Denmark, and Greenland.Key Facility: The most prominent U.S. base is Pituffik Space Base (Thule Air Base). In essence, the 1951 Defense Agreement provides the legal foundation for the U.S. military presence in Greenland, a presence that continues today under evolving strategic needs.
>>526056882That's not why the troops were sent, Denmark sent troops because Trump bitched about their sparse involvement in Greenland's defense while the USA foots the bill.
