I'm not sure Denmark is going to cancel our F35 orders. From a security perspective, it's certainly in our interest to pretend this isn't a big deal. And that everything is normal.

But I'm not surprised that our prime minister recently did not leave out the possiblity of hosting nukes on Danish territory.

Given the theatre in the US one could even say we'll need nukes to defend Greenland.

The Donald wants Groenland ... After that, why not Denmark itself ?

Hmm, the US welcome to liberate us from sour tax burden. I suspect the invading force will surrender when they see the liabilities :)

Trump probably is planning to cash in by raping the country of its mineral and oil wealth.

I wouldn't presume to understand the bananas ideas of Trump and his kindergarten kronies, but I imagine they're looking at an inaccurately large landmass on a mercator projection map and hearing about the oil underneath and seeing dollar signs.

On a map, it looks to be bigger than all of North America, although in reality its only about 1/5th of the size of the US.

(although granted that's still a very large area that they probably see as 'up for grabs' since Denmark is small and far away and the US already have airbases there)

I wonder if F35s will be like HP printers and refuse to start unless they phone home?
