@somlu1968 Dies sind Flaggen von Ländern, von denen ich annehme, dass sie an der Operation teilnehmen werden. Noch ist nichts bestätigt.
@randahl ah, danke, hab mich auch über die andere Schrifttype gewundert.

Finally!
Danish Arctic Command announces that two C-130 Hercules planes have landed in the municipalities of Nuuk, and Kangerlussuaq in Greenland with international forces in preparation for large international "exercises".
The population of Greenland has been told to expect a "considerable military presence" consisting of international Air, Navy, Army, and Special Forces.
From what I hear, four NATO countries are involved in today's operation, including our Norwegians friends.
🇬🇱🇩🇰🇳🇴🇬🇧🇩🇪🇫🇷🇪🇺
@randahl Even Germany sends 13 soldiers as an exploration team 😯

Its kind of like the Taiwan situation. You cannot "win" a war with a superpower, but you can make it so costly that they may just walk away...
@sleepy62 exactly.

@randahl France too apparently.
Hoping that having NATO troops there means trump can't invade militarily 🤞 -
@randahl
Please: don't forget the source 🤦🏼♂️ -

A prudent move since (as Trump pointed out) the threat to Greenland from countries like Russia and China is so serious that it would warrant the US taking ownership.
One wonders why Denmark and NATO were not aware of this threat before. It's clearly necessary to defend it from those countries.
(and any other that don't belong and could attempt to get a foothold there)

@masek I do not think that is embarrassing. I think that is what you do to make sure everything is ready for the larger force.

@sibrosan because Trump is lying. There is no immediate threat from other countries. We have expensive surveillance to prove it.

@randahl Which will arrive (if nothing unforeseen happens) in 2-3 years. Ask the Estonians ...
Most of the previous generation of my family worked for the military and I have a lot of friends in shipbuilding and R&D. I get a lot of insight on the current state.
Believe me, we would not be a threat even to Luxembourg even if we tried 🙂.

@randahl Why explain the obvious and not just enjoy the subtle irony 🙄

@masek from what I hear, the Ukrainians are very pleased with the German hardware, including the various air defence systems.

@RustyFreewheel @randahl that probably will be the result of the negotiations.. 😉
You just had to read between the line's.

@randahl Hardware: can do 🙂. It is a pity that we got rid of the cold war stocks. We once had 3.000 MBTs. That stock could have Ukraine supplied for years.
I refer more to the ability to deploy troops and keep them in the field.
The tank brigade in Lithuania (not Estonia, sorry!) was agreed upon in 2022. The 45th tank brigade is currently expected to be ready in 2027.
P.S. I served in 1985 in 6th Tank Grenadiers division which was paired with the danish Jutland division. Back at that time, German soldiers in Denmark still had to expect to be chased away by Danish farmers during exercises.

@RustyFreewheel @vosje62 @randahl
I suspect the main purpose of this deployment is to serve as a tripwire force.

@masek yes, the historical grudge runs pretty deep with the older generations. Most Danes under 50 see Germans as friends.
Please understand that many Danes have relatives who died in the resistance movement. That wound is difficult to heal.
I personally love the German people because I have so much contact with German friends and the country overall. But a farmer on the west coast who never travels outside the country… that takes a generational change.

Qualche idea per sopravvivere al divorzio transatlantico. Conversazione con Giuliano Da Empoli
“quelli che chiamo predatori digitali e predatori politici, i proprietari delle grandi aziende digitali, sostengono esplicitamente i movimenti nazionalisti, perché si sono resi conto di poterli sfruttare per smantellare le democrazie liberali: su quello che viene dopo, sul futuro, non c’è convergenza, ma intanto si distrugge insieme, e con più efficacia”

Purtroppo invece su 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 e 8 mi devo applicare decisamente di più! 😂

@stefano Wow. Just ... Wow. Well handled on your part!

We report in the pink few minutes of sunrise. In the morning, the sun veers more and more northeast from its wintry southeast position - although it is not any warmer that we can tell. We follow a host of sparrows from tree to tree as we are trying to dodge a very thin drizzle.
