Denmark: We spent billions on Greenland's defense, not one dog sled

Greenland is reacting to a statement by White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, in which she did not rule out a military operation to establish Washington's control over the world's largest island.

Let's remember that Greenland is currently an autonomous region within the Danish Kingdom. Trump puts it very simply: Greenland should belong to the United States, as it shares the same Western Hemisphere with the United States, and that hemisphere is a sphere of direct US interests.



Greenlandic authorities announce they have sent a letter to the US State Department requesting an "urgent" meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Greenland's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Research, Viviane Motzfeldt, is expected to be part of the delegation planning to hold talks with Rubio. Notably, Danish government officials, including Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, are also expected to join.

Vivian Motzfeldt:

We want to directly discuss US claims regarding Greenland.

Head of the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

We do not share the view that Greenland is awash with Chinese investment or that Chinese warships are cruising along the coast of Greenland.

Let us recall that Trump previously spoke about “Chinese and Russian ships that are near Greenland, posing a threat to the United States.”

And this is the statement from the Danish Minister of Defence, Troels Lund Poulsen:

We spent billions on improving security in Greenland, not, as Mr. Trump claimed again this week, on buying "another dog sled."

Against this backdrop, reports are emerging that the Trump administration intends to offer every resident of Greenland a "large sum" to support secession from Denmark and annexation by the United States. This isn't bribery or interference in the affairs of a foreign state, is it?

    So where did those billions go? They honestly didn't even buy a dozen helicopters. And what kind of dog sled? Greenland is a suitcase without a handle now, of course, but what will it be like in 50-100 years? A lot of people might suddenly need it.

      It was probably sent via a ricochet through Greenland to Ukraine.
      Copenhagen is one of the five main sponsors of the Ukrainian terrorist state, explaining this to the average citizen by saying that Ukraine is supposedly protecting Denmark from imaginary threats emanating from Russia on the front lines.
      However, the real threat came from behind, from where it was least expected, and rudely, but "democratically" fucked that kingdom in an unnatural form in the most ugly way. laughing
      And they threw the money down the drain and will lose their territory!

      The reporter:
      What exactly will the US gain by taking control of Greenland?
      Levitt:
      Greater control over the Arctic region and a guarantee that China and Russia cannot continue their aggression in the region.

      The descendants of those punks are a small percentage. The rest arrived later. There are no more Germans, Poles, and Irish than there are Yankees.

        Here, it's probably worth remembering that the first slaves in America weren't black at all. They were brought much later. And slavery in the United States actually began with the Irish.

          Greetings, Igor.
          We won't see it.
          For blacks, the Irish are white oppressors.
          I was reading history. Some American professor became so intellectually lax that he declared in a lecture that Spartacus (a white man) was also a slave.
          Then some angry blacks burst in on him, demanded an apology, and almost beat him up.
          In short, the status of a former slave is not available to everyone, because it means money.
          To be fair, it should be said that it was not blacks who came up with the idea of ​​monetizing deprivation.
          So only a Jew could be a victim of the Holocaust.
          A victim of the Holocaust is fundamentally different from a victim of a non-kosher genocide such as that in Russia or China.
          They pay money for the Holocaust, they pay money for black slavery.
          And everyone else is just useless losers.

            I liked the expression "non-kosher Holocaust." Six million Jews is certainly a lot. But I don't think the Chinese are surprised by such a figure. In terms of percentage of the population, Armenians and Jews would probably easily compete. And the concept of "genocide of the Soviet people" is, as Scholz puts it, "ridiculous" in the West. They will never understand what kind of nationality the "Soviet people" are.

            We know, of course, that the word "gratitude" doesn't exist in the West. But nevertheless, it wouldn't hurt to remind Jews more often, from every angle, thanks to whom they exist at all, and, what's more, have their own state.
            This does not only concern Jews.

      Perhaps. But how Denmark ended up with this island is a complete paradox. It's like some Siberian engineer owning a hectare of land near Moscow.
      They'll take it away anyway. Sell it. They're offering it nicely. They'll sympathize with the loser and spit on him. But this way they'll at least give him a couple of billion.

      I disagree about the genes. It's the universal silence and lack of condemnation, at least. But, as a rule, bandits end badly. Either justice punishes, or their own. I'm betting on "their own."

    Only the relocation of the Danish kingdom to Greenland and the establishment of its capital there will save Denmark from losing Greenland and renaming the country to Datland. Perhaps this will help it become a sovereign state for a time.

    During the war, the Americans sat in this Greenland and didn't ask the Danes anything. And they, unnoticed, showed any resentment. Even though the Germans considered them equal Aryans.
    Somehow I think that with the number of aircraft carriers the Americans had, even the Aryans would sit tight. They'd even say themselves that the island was economically unprofitable and, in fact, subsidized. Snow and dogs.

    Yeah, right now, two years ago a Russian trawler was fishing in Labrador. bully And our trawlers are the most powerful trawlers in the world. The Norwegians won't let us lie. But we've got the Norwegians' brains straightened out - the Russians just have trawlers. And Trump has Russian trawlers that are the most powerful in the world, and they even have processors. laughing The word processor scares Trumpushka: Processor - aggressor.

    Why so openly declare your own theft? There's no sign of the end results, in the form of a naval armada off the coast bristling with coastal missile systems, and aircraft swarming like flies over a corpse, darkening the sky.

    And evil tongues claim that the dogs from this “yet another dog sled” died of hunger. lol

    No, everything is correct, you need to make money while you can, or as in the classic saying - "Strike while the iron is hot."

    At the UN Security Council meeting on January 5, 2026, the Danish representative fully supported the "arrest of dictator Maduro," calling only for a more lenient approach. Therefore, the conclusion of the Greenland treaty will henceforth look like this: 1. Send American helicopters to Copenhagen to pick up a "representative delegation" led by the Prime Minister and king penguin Frederick X. 2. Gently stuff the "representative delegation" into a helicopter or directly onto a plane, and deliver it to a prison in New York. 3. "Preliminary negotiations" with the representative delegation using hands, feet, hoses, wet rags, etc. (Guantanamo experience to the rescue) 4. Exclusively voluntary signing of the Greenland Agreement, carried out by Trump and the made-up members of the Danish delegation (blue faces are not very photogenic) 5. Seat the entire delegation in that very dog ​​sled on the outskirts of Greenland and send it to the center of the island to meet the rising sun to the sounds of the Greenlandic folk song "I will take you to the tundra." Everything will be done "softer", exclusively in accordance with the norms of American law.
