00:02Denmark reportedly planned for the possibility of a U.S. invasion of Greenland earlier this year
00:08with contingency plans that included destroying key runways to keep American aircraft from landing
00:14there. Danish broadcaster DR reports that in January, Danish forces flew blood supplies and
00:21explosives to Greenland as President Trump publicly pushed for U.S. control of the territory
00:26and he warned it could happen, quote, the hard way. The explosives were meant for runways in
00:31Greenland's capital, Nuke, and at another airfield farther north, part of a plan to prevent U.S.
00:37aircraft from landing. The blood supplies were intended to treat wounded if fighting broke out.
00:42Danish officials grew more concerned after the U.S. military operation in Venezuela in early January,
00:48with some sources comparing the moments in 1940 when Denmark was invaded by Nazi Germany.
00:54The deployment was formally presented as a NATO exercise, Arctic endurance, but sources say
01:00it was a real operation, not routine training. Dr. Peter Vigo Jacobson, a strategy professor at the
01:07Royal Danish Defense College, told Straight Arrow News earlier this year, quote, if the U.S. were to
01:12attack an ally and take over part of its territory, it would be doing exactly the same as Russia did
01:19when it attacked Ukraine in 2022.
