can't Greenland ask to evacuate that American base? its clear the US won't try to help Greenland without having them paying a hefty price anyway
I think the base is more for US benefit than Greenland.
Right but its their country so they should be able to clear the base if they desire
Say it to Cubans.
Ideally, yes, but I'm not sure what type of agreement they have in place. It can give US a reason to invade. Trump is probably looking for a reason to justify invasion.
He might create one actually anyway, Like WMDs in Iraq or Putin version, nazis in Ukraine or NATO expansion in Ukraine.
One of the main real reasons Crimea in Ukraine was invaded was due to access to Sevastopol port.
Greenland is part of Denmark and Denmark is part of NATO. If Trump invades Greenland that would be next level stupid
Yeah, but if Denmark just allows the base to stay open as it is, they risk a Crimea scenario where Russia basically opened the gates of their Sevastopol base and took over the whole Peninsula before anyone could do anything about it.
Denmark is as we speak working on getting American bases on Danish soil, sorry to say. So no, that base is not going anywhere.
Yeah I don't think it works that way.
Have you heard of native Americans? Greenlandians might be about to become them.
The base is US soil. These things are far more complicated than you think, and more than I can type this early in the morning. But they're basically heavily armed embassies.
The base is treated as US soil while the status of forces agreement is in effect and US personnel are there. It doesn't belong to the US in perpetuity.
Correct.
Like an embassy
