The Greenland government’s statement said it “would not be proportionate” to demand the equipment be removed. An application for permission remained under processing, it added.

They don't seem to understand you give the current American administration an inch, they'll take a mile. It feels safe to say this is going to end in disaster, Greenland government just failed the test.

This is awful. Finland should sabatage it all. Put hydroflouric acid in the tankers before they ship. I'd pretend to be okay and do something brutal.
