The 1951 Treaty allows us to bring as many troops as we want.

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.

"We don’t have sovereign bases within Greenland." Yes we do. 150 US troops are there right now.

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.

Those bases in Greenland are not sovereign. You are out of your league prof.

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.

No US bases are "sovereign" in the same way an embassy is. Just stop, for chrissakes.

“Yes we do” you said. You were wrong and are now backtracking. My statement was correct.

You just contradicted yourself. Because you were wrong.
Huff and puff all you like, Prof. Your condescension is not working.

You should just stop,
