This is a political tool we have seen tons of times in internal affairs when the politicians want to buy time, delay, and then 2-5 years later receive a report of the findings which they will subsequently ignore. Highly effective. In other words, Denmark defeated the military might of the US with diplomatic bureaucracy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] laranis@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 months ago (1 child) If it is a well known tactic then it is likely a facade.

There's a multi national force on it's way to Greenland to put themselves in the way so even if NATO or the un fail to intervene the US would be picking a fight with a half dozen well armed nations. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 child) The Danes and Americans "agreed to disagree" according to report. I have bias in saying this but I hold Europeans in higher regard than the Trump-appointed American officials when it comes to this. I mean, the Trump administration personifies the temper-throwing adolescent stage of USA as a country.

Or trying to, denmark is leading the charge on chatcontrol and age checks.

That is the bigger thing going under reported. The uk already surrendered their people, and cancelled the Magna Carta to boot, without a fight. Under labour too. I swear the populations are dosed with compliance pollutants because past generations would not stand for this. The US will get a copy of all that info you better belirve it. As will oligarchs, foreign intelligence, hackers, they are making you vulnerable to everyone so they can spy on everything and everyone with new tech. Just as the nsa did prior.

Same shit happened in Rome with circuses, and fascist takeovers have happened many a time many a place. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance and people got complacent, lazy and stupid.
