The defence deal signed at the UN General Assembly also re-affirms Denmark’s sovereignty over its semi-autonomous Arctic territory.
There’s also a clause that says they can only be there if USA is in NATO.
Which ties them.to NATO for the foreseeable.
Oh yeah I’m sure we’ll promptly vacate these military bases if/when we leave NATO.
Probably not but it ties you to NATO for literally nothing The US had th option to build these bases already.
You just got sold ice in Greenland
One, that’s unfortunate
Two, if the US breaks off NATO, it’s not like anyone should expect whoever is there at the time to say “oh okay never mind” and then sit up and leave.
They weren’t there before for whatever reason, and now that they have a foot in, they’re just gonna keep pushing.
