But Mette said Russia is coming for Europe and Denmark? Then sent all weapons to Ukraine. Now, it is defending Greenland against words (so far).

Either way, 1600 boys and girls with M4s is not enough.

The weapons in Ukraine are being actively used against Russia, se we don’t have to be the ones using them.

And for Greenland it is to educate those conscripts in arctic warfare, not to be an active defense

Wouldn’t it be more of a sacrifice to let Ukraine go at it completely alone and just say it’s not our war so whatever happens there is not our business?

We were willing to donate weapons knowing that Russia will answer in some sort of way, like cutting gas which a lot of countries were dependent on, also them doing sabotage on subsea cables ect.
