Are you absolutely positive? Danes and Germans already sent troops and France a nuclear sub and a Frigate. UK, Sweden, Finland and others are preparing to send troops as well. Perhaps "small operation" is not a foregone conclusion.

I'm sure the US army is shaking in its boots right now

>Danes and Germans already sent troops

Afaik 20 "troops" total.


80% of the place is frozen ice - you would need specialist units to fight there - US has never done that really - the Russians had units equipped for arctic conditions and they were locals and had unique armor meant for that (tracked-lighter-more durable).

Even China has more experience due to their conflicts in the Himalayas and Tibet.

You not going to get a Stryker or Abrahams tank working there.


Must have been purely accidental :-p

Same supreme court - different president.

Note: Greenland is not occupied by Denmark unless you agree that Hawaii is occupied by the US.

Which, I mean, yes it is. Kingdom of Hawaii was a thing. The real difference is that Greenlanders are legally able to vote for independence whenever they feel like it, and have chosen not to, for economic reasons. So by that logic, Hawaii is more oppressed than Greenland.

Fair point

Let's hope so. After all she was Germany's defence minister under Merkel. So should know what she is talking about.

Hmmm...I'm not technical well versed but doesn't it sound a bit like the initial Chrome idea???

Good for you. Others don't like to be lied to. Hence, may disagree.

Your personal vision. I also dont like to be lied. Is there any way we can meet in the middle without referencing individuals with their own ideas of the world? If the answer is yes, we're in the good path even if we disagree.

What credentials does he have? Never ever worked in his life. Lived of what the family "gained/grabbed" while in power. It would simply mean to replace one bad leadership with another. But the young generation doesn't remember, of course.

(a) He has legitimacy in the eyes of the public, which decreases the chance of civil war

(b) He's not religious fanatic

(c) He has publicly advocated for liberal democracy for several decades


Point (a): source?

Well, the US always seems to need an enemy. After WW2 it was Russia, then " war on terror" now it's China. Friendly cohabitation seems impossible. Best example the constant war mongering against China. Show me how many countries China invaded since WW2 snd how many the US?

Not news. Always has been the case.

In recent years, they have pretended otherwise. Oxford and Cambridge have also been funny about STEM, apart from mathematics — hard to explain, but class snobbery does come into it, as does a resistance to some modern trends.
