Denmark was planning to mount a military defence of Greenland, with the Nordic countries, France, and Germany set to deploy elite troops and assets.

They sent blood to treat wounded soldiers, and explosives to destroy runways and prevent a Hostomel-style landing of US troops.

We came close to a military confrontation with the United States. Terrifying.

Attached: 4 images It's difficult to overstate European's anger following #Trump's latest absurd comments. European Leaders are meeting right now in Brussels. Despite Trump backing down, the atmosphere is grim, it feels like there is no going back from this. #EUpol #USpol #Brussels

@wolf480pl my assumption is this was prior to trump backing down, and this likely caused trump to back down, and forced the republicans to tell him it was a red line
@jmaris yeah, I'm just impressed how good the EU leaders were at not having the press or social media osint folks notice and publicize those moves

@jmaris Let's not forget it is everything because of DJT.

Republicans can change the course every day.

Danish Prime-Minister Mette Frederiksen, after the DR revelations: "The US president's desire to annex Greenland is unfortunately still going strong."

I'm afraid she's right.
