This whole Trump 'Kabuki Theatre' is absurd...any U.S. President could have just ASKED for the same

provisions and gotten them...as per the following AI summary...Note that Greenland and Denmark have always welcomed U.S. presence there. Trump is an unhinged Idiot.

----------------
AI Overview

No previous president needed to ask for these specific provisions because the United States already held extensive military, overflight, and basing rights in Greenland under a 1951 defense treaty.

Existing Treaties
The 1951 Defense Agreement: This historic pact already gave the U.S. near-total military access, overflight rights, and basing privileges on the island.NATO Partnership: Formed in 1949, NATO already tied Denmark and the U.S. together in mutual defense, meaning Greenland was already protected under the Western alliance umbrella.

Why the New Provisions Were Different

Coercive Tactics: Donald Trump used heavy pressure, including tariff threats against European nations and ultimatums about taking the territory, which previous presidents chose not to do.

New Restrictions: The recent 2026 agreement adds modern updates, such as formally banning non-NATO countries from building bases and restricting sensitive investments to the U.S. and its allies.
