We don’t have sovereign bases within Greenland.
The 1951 Treaty did not account for
bringing in a technologically advanced Arctic Defense System.
At the very worst it is an update. which would not be status quo ante.
10K were stationed there during the Cold War.
"The 1951 Treaty did not account for bringing in a technologically advanced Arctic Defense System." Idiotic. It allowed the US to deploy however many troops and tech to Greenland as it saw fit. During the Cold War we had all sorts of sophisticated radar equipment there.
Let's pretend for a minute that there will be a "golden dome" (there won't). The 1951 treaty covered all of it.
You're out of your league. Not that such things ever stopped you from spewing.
US. bases in Greenland, like Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base), are not sovereign U.S. territory, operating under a 1951 defense agreement with Denmark that grants the U.S. extensive but not outright ownership or exclusive jurisdiction, with Denmark and Greenland maintaining ultimate sovereignty, though recent discussions aim to formalize stronger U.S. access for defense purposes, as clarified by Danish officials.
Key Points:
Danish/Greenlandic Sovereignty: Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, and Denmark asserts its sovereignty is non-negotiable.
1951 Defense Agreement: This agreement allows broad U.S. military access and operations, giving the U.S. significant practical control within defense areas, but it doesn't transfer sovereignty.

Huff and puff all you like, Prof. Your condescension is not working.
You should just stop,
