This is strange. Either one of them is higher in rank, or both should be subordinate to the commander of a larger unit, because someone sent a sergeant and 13 men. Thus, the confrontation reaches the tactical level, that is, the lowest one. The contingent of the American base will pelt them with socks and chase them back into the water. What the actual frak is happening...

So that's your take on the matter?
F u all?!?

Maybe I misunderstood it as it is simply a picture lacking your own personal surely insightful elaboration on this issue.

Maybe you could be so kind to add that? Just so there's no loss of context here. Ty sir

So thats what this is all about. Someone is upset he didnt get the nobel peace price so he.. Checks notes... Threatens allies with war.

He is such a wierd snowflake.

To be fair he deserved it more than Obama did... And definitely way more than Yasser Arafat, the Dalai Lama, Kissinger and Le Duc Tho, Sakharov, all those guys deserved whatever the exact opposite of a peace prize is.

Seems like there would just be a simplistic approachable way to Greenland. Hey we want to increase military presence and bases around Greenland, and in return for our security we would like access to XYZ mineral deposits that are not being utilized anyways.

i have to imagine its a mathematical problem. bases aren't cheap, nor are constant patrols. and trumps approach to nato expansion (or even nato continuation) is that all allies must pay the costs for the USA to be there.

so to truly secure greenland the country would need to pay a massive amount, and denmark wont allow that to happen. they'll hide behind things like environmental damage of mining, etc. but truth is they just dont want that much of "their" resources extracted and sent right to the USA with nothing in return but security of an area.

then you open the idea of like preferred contracts, or joint contracts, but still dont think denmark is willing. i mean from their standpoint they've help a giant sea rock for hundreds of years and all of a sudden its mineral contents and oil reserves offshore make it worth likely far more than denmark itself. so its a wild negotiation no matter what happens.

I am sure it is, but, mineral deposit pending, I am sure there's significant deposits that are fairly small in footprint that are 20-30+ life of mine deposits that I would think have been proven, but like much of Canadians remote mineral deposits, its just not economically feasible to access. Not sure how the US would change that though.

Just seems like there's a way of going at it with a bit more tact, or perhaps that will come, use force, come to negotiations table a little more willing than if you didn't show aggression, 4D chess, art of the deal and all that jazz.
