    When he does what we know he is going to do, the optics are going to be an absolute disaster not just for Denmark but Europe

      The optics would be even worse for the US. Nobody would trust them as a partner again. It would take decades for the US to restore trust.

      Terrifying times.

        As a Ukrainian I've grown weary living in interesting times already. I'd love to live in boring times for a bit.

          I think everyone could use some of that boring times run of the mill situation.

        Denmark doesn't have submarines, if that's what you mean. We had two, one which even served in connection with the US led invasion of Iraq, but they got retired in the early 2000s:

        Not that it matters, regardless of whose subs you are referring to, since the US military already has free access to Greenland thanks to previous agreements with Denmark. See e.g.
