In all this talk about how the US needs Greenland for own and international security, Americans should take a moment to read the Rand report on Arctic capabilities: According to Rand: Denmark currently possesses four icebreaking tugboats. The 6,000-ton vessels have ice capabilities. On the surface, the Royal Danish Navy operates four OPV frigates, which have ice-reinforced hulls and icebreaking capabilities, and three Knud Rasmussen–class OPVs with ice-reinforced icebreaking capacity. The Royal Danish Navy also has one OPV frigate under development. The Danish Arctic Response Force has one ranger company, one Navy Special Forces group, and one Sirius Dog Sled Patrol. Among Nordic countries, Denmark has some of the most-robust domain awareness in the Arctic. https://lnkd.in/dX5mg2Dn The USCG has two old icegoing OPVs and according to VP J.D. Vance no plans to deploy more forces to Greenland. So how exactly is the US going to make Greenland stronger?
Thanks for your contribution.
Thanks for calling them out, Lennie. Refreshing with a fact-based view on things. It is all a diversion from the main attack on the American democracy.
Kære Lennie. Godt skrevet. Det udstiller hulheden i de amerikanske argumenter. 🇬🇱👍💂♂️🇩🇰 Håber der snart er nogle voksne i det republikanske parti der tager affære, inden det hele vælter.

2dI appreciate your efforts to put the heated discussion into perspective. However I am not convinced that the present US government is interested in facts. Disregarding facts makes it easier to turn world security into a reality show. 😥
