The European nation's rules of engagement requires soldiers to “immediately” counter-attack invading forces without awaiting orders


quote:

On Wednesday, Denmark's defence ministry confirmed the existence of the 1952 rule and added that it "remains in force". It comes after US president Donald Trump raised the prospects of invading the Nato territory of Greenland, admitting that using US troops to do so was an option. Denmark - which governs Greenland as an overseas territory - was shocked by the remarks and insists the island is "not for sale".

If Greenland isn’t for sale, then we’ll just have to acquire it via other means. The Danes might not like those other means.

An invasion violates the nato alliance.

What are they going to defend Greenland with? The Sirius Sled Patrol has less than 50 men.

I don’t think 10 Danes constitutes much of a threat.

The Danes capitulated early in their last major conflict.

We are NATO. NATO doesn’t benefit us. NATO protects Europe from Soviet Aggression.

There are no more Soviets.

The Chinese and Russians are the ones who have been actually invading portions of Greenland and Europe and the Danes have not done anything.

So what. What is the benefit? You think France and Germany are really gonna send armies to help us when the shite really pops off? Europe is under foreign invasion via Islam. It won't even exist in the same form in 50 years, and they will do nothing to stop it.

I don’t get why Denmark doesn’t want to sell it

It’s not militarily strategic for them
They aren’t extracting resources from it
It’s a welfare state they have to support so no tax benefit
