Subject: Re: war with Denmark or Panama??
Because our interests coincide with theirs, very nearly identically in the areas of security. And they're a NATO partner, meaning they're treaty-bound to contribute to the collective defense.

Sure - they have to follow what they've already agreed to. But in their internal disputes with Denmark and the EU, why wouldn't they pursue "Greenland First" in any matters that they're not already obligated to do so, to the same extent that we are changing our foreign policy approach to being "America First"?

Do they want Chinese corporations extracting minerals from their soil, with their stellar track record of good business practices and environmental stewardship?

As noted upthread, they don't - and haven't allowed them to, having passed legislation in 2021 that barred nearly all such mining. But if they reverse course and decide that they'd allow mining by whatever nation offers them the best deal ("Greenland First!"), why wouldn't they follow their national self-interest rather than prioritizing America's interests?
