Great headline but apparently it’s the great total of 13 soldiers.

Which is enough for the purpose. Denmark invited to come together and talk about ways to support Greenland. So they are not there to defend (yet), but to survey and get an idea of the conditions.

This, and it’s also a form of deterrence in itself. It means that if the US attacks Greenland, they’ll potentially have to kill not just Danish, but also German, French etc soldiers, permanently fucking up relations with those countries beyond repair.

I wouldn’t say permanently, I mean France and Germany have overcome a lot in the last century.

But for the next several decades absolutely. Maybe I’m being a bit pedantic

It did take Germany losing the war and being forced a democratic constitution and systematic anti-nazi campaigning for them to overcome it though.

Russia still denies they ever did anything bad against… Anyone, basically. That could happen to the US as well if they don’t actually reach the bottom first.
