    Greenland is a territory if Denmark. Do you think if Denmark invated Washington DC, its nit an attack on the usa as iys not a state? Id say Puerto Rico, but half of america probay would think its a different country. Maybe the president even.

      We refer to that island as Greenland, because it’s an autonomous region, and yes it’ protected by Denmark, EU & NATO.

      Your metaphor is confusing because that wasn’t my main point. I was talking about Operation Artic Endurance Objective: Deterrence against a US invasion of Greenland.

          Greenlanders are EU citizens though. We’ll indeed have to see if the art. 42.7 defense clause holds.

          Nope, not what I meant at all.

          The commenter was saying (about the OP’s report which talks about intensified Ruzzian and Chinese agression) that:

          “Still blind to the nation that threatened to invade Denmark” Meaning the US threat.

          I then reacted by asking why then do the european military exercise up there since Davos?

            What you meant and what you said are different things.

            I can read the thread. Its much clearer than your summary. Maybe thats the problem. Clarity.
