US Threats Over Greenland Would Signal End of NATO, Danish PM Warns
A US attack on a NATO ally would be catastrophic, bringing an end not just to the alliance but also to post-World War II security, according to Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. The statement comes as US President Donald Trump has renewed his threats to take control of Greenland, sparking fears of a potential invasion.
Frederiksen warned that if the United States were to launch a military attack on another NATO country, it would be "the end of everything," including NATO and post-World War II security. Her comments came in response to Trump's claims that the US needed Greenland "very badly" and his assertion that Denmark could not handle national security tasks.
The Danish Prime Minister emphasized that any attempt by the United States to militarily attack a NATO country would be unacceptable and would undermine global stability. She also accused the US of applying "unacceptable pressure" on Denmark, warning that such actions were an "unreasonable attack on the world community."
Frederiksen's warnings are fueled by her government's efforts to prevent a US attack on Greenland, which is a former Danish colony but remains under Copenhagen's control. The EU has also weighed in, stating its commitment to upholding the principles of national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Despite growing tensions, some Greenlandic politicians have dismissed Trump's threats as exaggerated. However, others are taking a more cautious approach, acknowledging that the US's military presence in the region is a concern.
The situation highlights the complex geopolitics of the Arctic, where three global superpowers – the US, China, and Russia – are vying for dominance over minerals and other assets. Nordic neighbors Sweden, Norway, and Finland have expressed their support for Denmark, but the stakes remain high as the situation continues to unfold.
As fears of a potential invasion grow, it remains to be seen how Denmark will respond. Frederiksen has vowed to defend Greenland's sovereignty and territorial integrity, but her government faces pressure from within to take more concrete action. The future of Greenland hangs in the balance, with the world watching as tensions escalate in this critical region.

this is getting serious... if trump's talking about invading greensland, that means nato would be toast 
i mean, frederiksen's right, a us attack on any nato country would be catastrophic for global security 
and what's with trump's "we need greensland badly" claim? is he seriously planning to take over the whole place? 
meanwhile, china and russia are just sitting back, waiting for the US to mess up so they can swoop in and take control of the arctic 
. It's not just about Greenland, it's about the precedent for other nations to follow - if the US thinks it can just muscle in on another country's turf, what's next? 
The Arctic is already a hot zone with China and Russia vying for control, but this could escalate things big time 
.
also think china is secretly happy about all this tension in the arctic, would be a major upset if anyone got involved in a war 
. It's not just about Greenland, it's about the principle of national sovereignty and territorial integrity 
. Denmark is right to defend itself and Greenland's sovereignty, but the international community should also be ready to call out the US when it's crossing lines 
this whole thing is super concerning and danish pm mette frederiksen is totally right, if the US does attack another nato country it would be a catastrophe. we gotta stay vigilant and make sure our alliances are strong 
but at the same time we can't just ignore trump's threats either 
. It's gonna be a wild ride to see how this all plays out 
. We need world leaders to come together and sort this out ASAP! 
The thought of China, Russia, and the US fighting for dominance in the Arctic is just too much to handle 
. What's at stake here? Greenlandic resources? I guess we'll just have to keep watching as things unfold... but can't we all just get along? 
And Trump's just running his mouth like no one cares... Newsflash: it does care 
Denmark's got some solid points in here, though. Need to up their security game and fast 
Greenland's sovereignty is on the line, no cap 
Can't let US just waltz in and start making demands like that 
. If Denmark is saying that a US attack would be catastrophic and end NATO, then where's the source on that? I need to see some credible info before I start believing a bunch of hype 
. And what's with Trump's constant claims of needing Greenland "very badly" 
? Sounds like just another example of him trying to distract us from something else 
. Can we get some concrete evidence on this one, or is it just more BS from the Trump camp 
?
