In January when Trump was about to invade Greenland, a considerable force of Danish Dragoons, special forces soldiers of the Jaeger corp, and french Alpine Hunters, were deployed, alongside Danish F-35 fighter jets, and French Navy vessels.

Blood supplies were flown in, and airstrips were rigged with explosives to prevent insertion of American forces.

The Kingdom has prepared for war two times in 100 years: Against Hitler in 1940, and Trump in 2026.

Danmark forberedte sig på muligt angreb fra USA: Fløj poser med blod til Grønland og gjorde klar til at sprænge landingsbaner i luften

Nøglekilder i Danmark og Europa fortæller nu for første gang, hvad der skete i de mest kritiske dage, hvor Donald Trump truede med at tage Grønland "på den hårde måde".

@randahl Two aggressive, mentally unstable dictators. But Hitler had more charm. 🤣

Randahl Fink 2d ago

@BruceMirken the nazis were effective because of the combination of shear evil and real competence.

Temu Hitler's combination of narcissism and stupidity is just not effective.

@BruceMirken @randahl True. He’s done massive damage to Iran, the Middle East, and the world economy. But he’s damaged the US the most.

Although that may not be entirely unintended.

It’s hard to distinguish between incompetence and malevolence in this case.

Bruce Mirken 2d ago

@Jvmguy @randahl Trump seems to achieve the perfect blend of the two.

"may not be entirely unintended"

Are you saying that the current situation where Trump is trying to divert the worlds attention away from Ukraine at a time when Putins forces are being pushed very hard on several fronts, making it increasingly difficult for European allies of Ukraine to get the weapons that Ukraine really needs, is not entirely unintended?

Sir, I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

@madsenandersc @Jvmguy @randahl While lifting sanctions on Russian oil!

Bruce Mirken 2d ago

@randahl Well it won him the presidency in a nation with a dumbed-down electorate, but he's not going to dominate a big chunk of the world as Hitler did for a while.

@randahl @BruceMirken exactly. And the moment his megalomaniac ego grew just a tiny bit more, he lost. Felon 47 has nothing but ego.

@randahl @BruceMirken

An unexpected blessing…

But this is only year one, he is concatinating damage… mostly in the US position in the world but by now due to utter stupidity also in the rest of the world.

The orange Fuhrer is a vile and evil political and economical terrorist, driven by his megalomaniac malignant narcissistic ego.

@BruceMirken @randahl Hitler, at least before the mercury poisoning got to him, was a smart tactician.

Trump is a bumbling buffoon who thinks he's an 8 year old playing war.

Bruce Mirken 2d ago

@tony @randahl Trump has the brain of an 8 year old but thinks he's General Patton! 🤡

@randahl
Wow. I knew things got serious, but didn’t realise how serious.
Well done Denmark for standing up to the 🍊 🤡 bully boy, it’s the only way & I’m starting to think more countries are realising this.
He’s going to have more brain farts before we’re done with him though.

Ilka 🌐2d ago

@randahl I admire the clear & strategic preparation while keeping a low profile about it.

@randahl They are "Bored of Peace"

Is danish army seriously think it can defend itself against US army with F-35 which have their mission planning servers in the US ?

Randahl Fink 2d ago

@luk_ this was never about winning against the US. This was about making it politically impossible for Trump to attack.

problem is, a person must know that it is politically impossible

@randahl
Rätt låt inte T-rumpZ komma i närheten

@randahl What about Norway in 1931? https://snl.no/Gr%C3%B8nlandssaken

Grønlandssaken – Store norske leksikon

Grønlandssaken var en konflikt mellom Norge og Danmark om suvereniteten over Grønland. Konflikten nådde sitt høydepunkt i 1931–1933.

@johank76 @randahl
Interesting article!
But in the (firefox-generated) translation it looks like Denmark didn't prepare for war that time.

Johan K Sch 2d ago

@joosteto @randahl As they say, litigation is the continuation of war with other means.

Matt Godden 2d ago

@randahl Don't suppose there's an english translation of that available?

Gary Houston 2d ago

@randahl "The Kingdom has prepared for war two times in 100 years", if you don't count Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya.

Quentin Stafford-Fraser 2d ago

@ghouston @randahl Yes, he probably meant 'prepared for invasion'

Petr Skála 2d ago

@randahl they should buy the Swedish Gripen airplanes they don't have the off switch....

@randahl Denmark mobilised against Nazi Germany in April 1940 knowing it couldn't win, choosing resistance as a statement of sovereignty over survival. This time, outside analysts described the deployment as a tripwire force actually directed at the US, meaning the same logic applied: not to win a military confrontation, but to make the cost of aggression visible and politically unbearable.

@randahl I am curious how well F-35 jets will work fighting US troops.

@kobold @randahl So does the Fox News idiot in charge of the DoD.

joosteto 2d ago

@randahl
As Trump clearly still wants to occupy Greenland, it feels like Iran is protecting Denmark against the US the same way Ukraine is protecting the EU against Russia.

Clearly the EU shouldn't help the US in Iran: any missile they expend in Iran they cannot use against Denmark/Greenland.

stony kark 2d ago

@randahl @NMBA don't stop the preparations! the only way this all ends is when trump, his cabinet, most elected officials, and everyone who put those people in power are all dead.

The F-35 jets have a backdoor for the US. 🤡

Apart from this technical detail, the situation is a great disgrace for the US.

@randahl Most excellent.
