@inthehandsPaul Cantrell I live in Denmark. Last year, after Trump started talking about taking over Greenland, JD Vance said that Denmark was "not a good ally" - and I actually agree with him. Because we're a vassal state, not an ally.

Not only is there a US military presence in Greenland, an agreement to permanently establish three US military bases in mainland Denmark, where the US troops stationed there *cannot be prosecuted under Danish law for any crime they may commit in Denmark* was finalized *after* Trump started threatening with using military force to seize Greenland. Our leaders have chosen to buy extremely expensive US fighter planes (which require permanent ongoing US support to maintain) rather than the much cheaper Swedish interceptors we'd be able to maintain ourselves - and the latter are at least as good for the specific purpose of air defense. Nearly our entire public sector runs on US-owned IT. Some critical systems that were developed locally have subsequently been sold to US firms.

I've gone to protests, I've talked to people, I've advised avoiding procuring US tech when alternatives exist, and nobody of any importance really seems to care. (Because *I'm* nobody of any importance, obviously.)
