2. If we ask to NOT get an US base, we will get it anyway!

On this Denmark has the same rights as Cuba. We both asked the US military to go away, and they kept their base anyway. Cuba is still protesting the occupation - but Denmark accepted its fate and entered in 1951 into an agreement so that we could have some influence on the case.

Later on the Greenland base became more accepted by the Danes, and became a kind of a "payment" for our incorporation into NATO. Today many people in Greenland want it gone - but do you believe the US would leave it, if asked?

Same with the new base agreement, which has been signed by our government in 2023, but not yet made into law. It was made before Tr*mp, and nobody knows what he will do with it yet ...

The US now has arms laying in stock on Danish soil, where Danish soldier is helping them to pack it for delivery world wide - and for example has "exported" this from Denmark to the Israeli forces, to be used in Gaza!
