Denmark is well aware and ahead of these plans. As written elsewhere, then French President Emmanuel Macron visited Greenland on June 15 the day before the G7 Summit in Canada, alongside the Danish Prime Minister, to discuss North Atlantic and Arctic security, climate change, energy transition and critical materials with the Prime Minister of Greenland.. It's the first visit by a French President to Greenland ever, and Macron said that Greenland belong to Europe and that he had informed Trump before the visit, and that it would also be a subject of discussion at the G7 Summit in Canada. One of the promises made by Macron during the visit was that France is also going to open a consulate in Greenland. France have also made a deal with Denmark, so that the French Navy’s Jeanne d’Arc 2025 task group is now deployed in the Arctic in defense of Greenland, while Denmark has now deployed the Air defence frigate HDMS Iver Huitfeldt (F361), including 2 helicopters and will be stationing an undisclosed number of F-16 fighter jets (most likely 4) and an undisclosed number of soldiers to protect and guard the vital infrastructure, and adding a military winter training program for the local Inuit and two more Danish dog sled Special Operations Forces this summer. The French Navy’s Jeanne d’Arc 2025 task group consist of the La Fayette-class frigate Surcouf , the LHD Mistral helicopter carrier, including an aero-mobile sub-group of the French Army’s light aviation, comprising 2 Cougar helicopters and 2 Gazelle helicopters from the French Army’s 5th combat helicopter regiment (5e RHC). A Dauphin helicopter from Flottille 34F + 1 S100 Camcopter drone from Flotille 36F. An amphibious flotilla detachment equipped with 2 landing crafts + a tactical sub-group including elements from the 13th foreign legion regiment (13e DBLE), the 1st foreign cavalry regiment (1er REC) and the 1st foreign engineering regiment (1er REG), plus their 35 vehicles.

Never the less, Denmark, Greenland and France have now made it perfectly clear that Greenland belong to Europe, if Trump was still in doubt. Even before the constant annexation threats by Trump this year, a poll last year revealed that 60% of the Greenlanders want to join the EU, while another poll earlier this year revealed that only 6% are interested in teaming up with the USA, and I can hardly imagine that these figures have changed in favor of the USA since then, all considering.
What a ********ing stupid hill you want to die for....What that drunkyard at the pentagon said is very clear.
Well, lets just all listen what Hegset actually said . and You can then make up your own mind, but Greenland, here in Denmark, and also in France and the rest of Europe, we are no longer in doubt that Trump is going to invade Greenland according to our intelligence service and according to the threats of annexation and how poorly Hegset and the Trump administration have been able to hide it's intention and invasion plans. When Hegset is talking about defending and "liberating" Greenland, he is not talking about an invasion from Trumps beloved Russia, or China that is so far away and have granted Denmark a peace offering of two Panda bears, so Hegset's invasion denial is absurd in itself, "liberating" Greenland from Denmark and Europe, and so declaring war with all of the free world and Europe = starting a WW3, though I'm sure Trump is much of a TACO Chicken to declare war with the Angel/Anglo Vikings, and NATO founder Denmark, no matter how may allies tiny Denmark is able to dig up and present. Lets be honest here, money do matter, and while the USA base all it's wealth on a few billionaires and humongous government deficits, loans and debt, tiny Denmark is on the other hand the most respectable solid economy in the EU. I'm sure you all do know who is in charge at the end of the day, if you are a big spender in debt and in need of a bigger loan, you really have no say and Trump is the "king" of the art of bankruptcy, even where it should not be possible.
To you, truth and lies don’t matter, it’s which team I’m on. Because that’s all you ever address. Remind you of anyone?
Hegset is not asked if the US administration have plans to invade to defend Greenland, but if there are plans to invade to take (annex) Greenland by force. You do understand, that having plans to invade and annex Canada, the UK, Denmark/Greenland, France, Germany or any other European NATO or EU member, would also be a plan to start WW3, just as it would be if you had plans to invade and annex Russia or China ?
@usscouse Does that mean that airspace surveillance info isnot available for Denmark/European NATO members? If so, do they think we're stupid and don't understand that we then have no means to detect an attack/invasion of Greenland? Original post from another thread:
I also have another question for you that you do not want to answer. Where did WW1 + 2 start, and why was NATO created ? I'm asking you because if you do not understand how little it took to trigger a WW in Europe, then you have no clue of how dangerous your invasion plans are, and this is where you seem kind of as dangerously clueless as the present administration.
I'll just add, that the Netherlands are also part of the special all-for-one European Arctic Northern Globe defense pact, that include all the Nordic countries, the UK and the Baltics, Canada is also included in this sphere, and though the rest of Europe are not part of this, but are bound by the NATO or EU partnership, then France have a very tight special defense pact with Denmark/Greenland.
I have no doubt that the Trump administration wants to invade Greenland but having invasion plans in itself is not evidence. I'm sure there are US invasion plans for the vast majority of nations on the planet but almost all of them have no chance to be carried out. The stupid and worrisome part of this is that the administration is focusing attention on these plans.
I'm just going to say that it is absolutely true that the US has detailed invasion plans for pretty much every country in the world. It's how we keep our massive military busy to justify spending so much money on them. But having plans does not mean those plans are intended to be used. There's a little bit of a semantic issue here - "to plan" can mean "we intend to do this", or it can mean "we are prepared to do this but we don't intend to do this." Having plans to invade friendly countries (again, you name the country, we have plans for how our military would invade it) doesn't mean that we intend to execute those plans. Before Trump, it was pretty much unthinkable that those plans would ever come in use. However, <gesturing around>, this is where we are now. Hegseth is not competent and Trump is senile and dangerous.
Surely there are loads of, especially 3rd world countries, that the US could have plans to invade, with no serious repercussions, except for the US eventually giving up, like in Afghanistan, but having plans to invade a rich and more highly developed NATO partner or EU country, is just asking for a WW3 that would be more than highly catastrophic world wide.
I keep reading people calling Trvmp senile and other mental declining issues. I don't registre that, he's childish, grudgy,stupid, incomptent, greedy, corrupt, evil, sexual predator etc., but not senile etc.
The US never had any plans to invade and annex Greenland in the past, we know this for a fact, not because the US have always respected a no when asking to buy Greenland in the past, but because even when Nazi Germany invaded Denmark, the US only took control of Greenland to defend it from the Germans until Denmark was liberated. So the invasion plan to annex Greenland is a MAGA Trump invention, and not a plan of previous administrations.
The US has always had such plans. That's what milatarized nations do. Now for the vast majority of nations I'm sure the plans were drafted by some junior officer(s) and never seen again. The US and Canada both had plans for invading each other as late as the early 20th century that have declassified and I wouldn't be surprised if there were more recent plans that are still classified.
Read my post just above. There has NEVER been any invasion plans of Greenland in the past until now, why that is, is highly complicated, but mainly has to do with ancient historical reason.
Your previous post negates what you are posting here. Denial of intent or desire to buy a territory has no bearing on whether there exists plans on invading one. It's likely that those denying any desire to purchase Greenland had no knowledge of any invasion plans and why would they?
Just as the Nazis agreed not to send any Danish Jews to the extermination camps and even agreed to a Danish demand of Danish Jews not to wear the "yellow star" edification mark, unlike their own Jews or other Jews from occupied Europe, then the US also always had a special "no touch" relationship with Denmark regarding Greenland. I obviously know this is highly difficult to grasp and understand, but never the less this is a fact.
I think you're using a semantically different definition of "plan", which I tried to make clear in my previous post. The plans exist. Some military guy wrote them down on a piece of paper which went into a filing cabinet labeled "Invasion Plans for Friendly Places" like 50 years ago, next to the plans for invading New Zealand and Ecuador. These plans are never intended to be executed by rational American presidents. Now Trump says he wants to invade Greenland. He is planning to invade Greenland. That's a different thing than the piece of paper in the filing cabinet. I will also add that "annex" is not part of any military plans. We had plans to invade Afghanistan, but not to rebuild it, which is why that war started off with great big explosions and ended twenty years later with people hanging off of airplanes as our military evacuated the place. Whatever plans are in the filing cabinet for Greenland involve taking out the military infrastructure, but not turning it into a part of America, because that will never succeed.
I have only been addressing the Trump administration. The Nordic Vikings did not invade to annex Greenland, but settled there before there were any Inuit's who came much later from Canada, but we now accept as being the majority and so deserve to rule Greenland.
I'm sorry, but are you as delusional as the Trump administration ?. Why do you think that a French President is visiting Greenland for the very first time in history, and not only opening a consulate, but also sending the French Navy’s Jeanne d’Arc 2025 task group to defend the country from the USA ? are you really this clueless ?
Please read my other posts. The relationship between the USA and Denmark regarding Greenland has always been highly different from the US relationship with other countries, except perhaps from the UK that has also never been part of any US invasion to annex plan, just as the NATO partners and the EU countries have been "no touch" because of a possible WW3.
