I find your analogy to be extremely strange. We are extremely well-armed. Greenland has also not been neglected in any way.
With regard to why you should care about Greenland, you've signed an agreement to do it, you are after all in NATO.
There has indeed been co-operation in protecting Greenland and this is very reasonable considering that the US has a presence there in the form of their military bases. I don't see this co-operation as begging.
- raffael_de 9mo agoThe disrespectful, colonialist treatment of Greenland by Denmark is sufficiently well documented. And if you think Europe stands a chance in a war against US then I don't even know what to say anymore ...
- anthk 9mo agoThen you are the deluded one, because Europe has nukes and if Europe dissapears under US nukes, California turns into a big crater and NYC ceases to exist. Everyone - I repeat, everyone - losses. USA, Europe, China, the rest of the world. Everything lost like the Bronze Age, but far worse.
- verzali 9mo agoEurope has nuclear arms. Even Germay could, if the could get off their arses and get serious about defense.
- xquce 9mo agoNo one is calling for war, but it's not like that documented history happened in this century. Greenland had been part of Denmark since the vikings. Surely we can get past the history and talk in today's terms. The people of Greenland have a voice in Danish politics and both the people and politicians said NO to wanting to have US rule them and YES to stay with Denmark. So yes, defending Greenland becomes a case of helping a people stay free and not invaded, no matter the enemy. It's silly to say "well we have no chance against" because then you can end that with China, Russia or even India.
