“This treaty is mostly for show, but in legal terms it’s much ado about nothing” because “the US already had free access to Greenland and the main responsibility for the defense of Greenland,” Swedish military and geopolitics analyst Mikael Valtersson told Sputnik, commenting on the new US-Denmark Greenland deal.

    Danish politicians are pretty excited in Danish media though.

    Trump may have paid a high price for the PR media

    As a Dane though I’m not complaining. Not yet until details are revealed. For now though it seems like nothing really has changed compared to what was in place before

      “What was in place before” is that the US military do and build what they please and are there anyway.
      No matter if Denmark officially owns it.
      All theatrics and fake row aside, Denmark is a vassal and always has been.

        Denmark is a sovereign country and an ally of the USA

        The problem with the USA currently is exactly your point. Seeing other countries as vassals

          The problem with some Europeans is they don’t even see that they’re vassals.
          Denmark especially has been one of the few to join most of their illegal terrorist wars.
          Even when most European countries showed at least a bit of spine.
          I should call you bootlickers/collaborators instead of vassals.
