Five years ago, Trump wanted to buy Greenland, got Danish PM Mette Fredriksen’s response that it was ‘absurd’ and then cancelled his visit and scolded her to the point where all the trousers in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were shaking.

Shortly afterwards – as a plaster on his wounds? – negotiations about American bases in Denmark began. The US now has 3 bases in Denmark, access to 12 base areas in Norway, 17 bases in Sweden and 15 in Finland – all under US jurisdiction. And now the sight is on Canada and Greenland – “we need it for economic, national security’ as Trump stated and did not rule out the use of military means and economic sanctions to get it.

Everything is related to everything else. That is, if you want to see it.

Finland and Sweden rushed down the NATO mouse hole because, in the governments’ absurd worldview, Putin would march on after taking all of Ukraine and then Poland, continue around the Baltic Sea, land on Gotland or Skåne Southern Sweden and then occupy the rest of Europe right after his “full-scale” and “unprovoked” (!) occupation of Ukraine. 


Not even Trump’s de facto threat now, which does not exclude the use of military force and economic sanctions, seems to have woken anyone in the Ministries of State, Foreign Affairs or Defence. At a press conference, the three ministers appeared dazed, paralysed: Oh well, we hope to have a meeting with President Trump, and then we have to upgrade the dog sledge patrols…

Imagine their self-righteous indignation if Russia or China had said ‘we need Greenland for our national and economic security and we do not rule out using military means.’ Holy Madonna!

Since 2019 when Mette Frederiksen was tamed once and for all, she has declared an absurd number of times how close Denmark is to the US, how important the US/NATO is, and that there can’t be so much as an A4 sheet of paper between Denmark/Europe and the US. Or – ‘I have no need to comment on American activities,’ as she said when Trump assassinated Iran’s #2, Major General Soleimani.

This is the complete intellectual, moral submission and surrender of sovereignty in Danish military and foreign policy.

Denmark has for years practised the same degree of freedom from the US as the GDR’s Ulbricht and Honecker had in relation to Brezhnev in Moscow – although the famous socialist brotherly kiss between the latter two is still missing here.

The above explains this whole gigantic diplomatic disaster – because: How on earth can the Danish foreign affairs leadership be caught off guard once again?

Well, because intelligence services, politicians, media and researchers have only focused on traditional non-threats to Denmark from Russia, Iran, North Korea – all with China behind in Madam Frederiksen’s ‘absurd’ worldview – and wasted all the money on the already lost war in Ukraine.

After losing US wars since Vietnam, Nord Stream, the Gaza genocide and now after the Western-supported regime change by terrorism in Syria, the above elites still refuse to see the US as a problem.

If Trump drops a nuclear bomb, they will only say that the US is our most important ally since 1948 and will be forever.

The Frederiksen government’s loyalty to the US/NATO is so naive and blind that today it is a security risk for the country.

What is this about in a macro perspective? An imperial ‘grab the pussy’ policy, of course.

About the ever-weaker USA’s desire to survive in terms of resources in a world where the rest are turning their backs and building a multipolar world. About Greenland’s vast and partly rare resources, which should not fall into Russian or Chinese hands. About seeing the big picture from Panama to the US and Canada to Greenland and the Nordic countries with over 40 US bases. About controlling the Arctic in open conflict with Russia and China, turning it into a high-voltage area and making cooperation with other stakeholders impossible.

And it is about a rapid global political change that Danish governments don’t have the capacity to understand, let alone have written a single A4 sheet about.

Hence today’s second act of the tragedy called ‘The Disaster of the Arctic and Greenland’ – in which they will continue to try to win the war over Russia through the destruction of Ukraine – while being occupied from behind by their worst friends.
