Why is Denmark (and Greenland) the only nations (apart from China, Russia and to some extent Iran) which are standing up to Trump? Their brave pose strikes me as strange, since the Kingdom of Denmark has no chance militarily defending their "constituent country" in the High Arctic against an American take over. So what´s going on here?
Does Denmark know that Trump is just bluffing? Are they somebody´s "fall guys"? Or do they actually have great power support? If the latter, the only great power that could possible be is France. Macron already offered to extend a French nuclear umbrella over all of Europe (outside Russia and Belarus). There have also been French rumblings about some kind of military mission to Greenland...
Unless Trump stops his threats against his own allies pretty damn soon, 2026 might get even more colorful than 2025. The irony is that the EU probably can´t become a new great power, so if it decouples from the United States in the years ahead, the Eurocrats will be forced to ally themselves with some of the other great powers. The most likely option would be China, if that nation decides to arbitrate between Russia and the rest of Europe. But even Russia could become an ally if Europe is taken over by pro-Russian populists who then proceed to terminate the liberal Eurocracy. Thus, Trump´s bizarre policy might in the end give the United States a less favorable position in the next world war?!
Personally, I would prefer a somewhat different geopolitical line-up, but in the end, you do what seems most favorable to your little nation...
