Danish ambassador posts ‘friendly reminder’ about defence ties after provocative MAGA post over territory

The US bombardment of Venezuela and the capture of its president, Nicolás Maduro, have renewed fears of an American takeover of Greenland, as members of Donald Trump’s MAGA movement gleefully set their sights on the Danish territory after the attack in South America.

Just hours after the US military operation in Venezuela, the rightwing podcaster Katie Miller – the wife of Stephen Miller, Donald Trump’s powerful deputy chief of staff for policy – posted on X a map of Greenland draped in the stars and stripes with the caption: “SOON.”

The threat to annex the mineral-rich territory, which is part of the NATO alliance, drew immediate outrage from Danes.

I'm afraid European countries would not defend themselves militarily because they simply would not stand a chance. US is capable of moving far greater army to Greenland than Europe is.

Europe would respond with economic sanctions and god knows how much of their economy they would be willing to sacrifice over Greenland. Maybe a lot, maybe they would tell Denmark to suck it up.

Just get some of Ukraine's sea drone's and wipe out the US fleet around Greenland.

Naval warfare is forever changed, but only Russia has felt it so far.

Keep all identifying flags off it so it could be any country sending them.

There's too much area to track where they all could be originating coming from.

edit: Also if I was Denmark/Greenland I 'd be getting some from Ukraine pronto so they could be deployed nearby to start with when a warship breaches their territorial waters or airspace.

Maduro should have hired you as his military advisor. US fleet would be at the bottom of the ocean now and he would still be in power.

seriously, US is a paper tiger with it's navy neutralized.
