I think they will, they just want to wait for the right time. You could argue that the right time is now but I think they are waiting until there is more proof on the ground (and not just talk) that the US is ready to act.
- aebtebeten 9mo agoI am glad to see https://stm.dk/media/qo2dyzxy/erklaering-gl.pdf https://stm.dk/media/qo2dyzxy/erklaering-gl.pdf Perhaps I am just paranoid*, but given the chatter concerning spheres of influence, I would not rule out a DJT/VVP version of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov–Ribbentrop_Pact#:~:text=A%20week%20after,of%20Poland%2e https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov–Ribbentrop_Pact#:~:tex... * other unusual logistics: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/05/us-planes-monitor-tanker-ireland-clampdown-venezuelan-oil#:~:text=A%20series%20of,Mildenhall%20on%20Sunday https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/05/us-planes-moni...
- mongol 9mo agoMy father speculated about a Molotov-Ribbentrop variant being played out not long ago. I never even considered it but I am no longer surprised it is speculated about. What we are seing feels eerily similar.
- aebtebeten 9mo agoIt just occurred to me that invoking Article 4 would put Ambassador Whitaker on the spot sooner rather than later: either he shows solidarity with DK, or he provides proof of his intent to filibuster. But I guess the reason they aren't bothering is because we all already know the answer.
- aebtebeten 9mo agoAnother reason not to bother: https://www.government.se/statements/2026/01/joint-statement-by-the-nordic-foreign-ministers-on-greenland/ https://www.government.se/statements/2026/01/joint-statement... With IS and NO on board, the only non-EU NATO members left are AL, CA, MK, TR, and UK. I don't think AL and MK have much in the way of force projection; CA is a pity* (what about TR?); and Airstrip One would have danced to the Great Nation Builder's tune anyway. * a joke I once heard back in the States: — So, what do you think of Canada, eh? — We don't. But wait until we run out of natural resources; then we'll think of you...
