Danish troops brought extra blood and enough explosives to destroy airport runways to Greenland in case the US tried to invade, according to reports.
Citing 12 sources, Danish news outlet DR said Denmark was prepared for a military response if America tried to seize the territory.

In a striking revelation, DR has disclosed that Denmark had laid plans to obliterate runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq, Greenland’s largest population hubs. This strategic measure was intended to thwart any attempts by U.S. aircraft to land in these key areas.

The Danish preparations extended to stockpiling blood supplies, a clear indication that they were bracing for potential casualties among soldiers in the event of an American offensive. This precaution underscores Denmark’s serious anticipation of a violent conflict with the United States.

The report serves as the most overt indication yet of Denmark’s readiness to engage in a defensive stand against a possible U.S. military incursion. It highlights their determination to resist aggressively if necessary.

Moreover, DR revealed that Denmark was actively engaging in negotiations with other European nations to forestall a U.S. invasion of Greenland. This diplomatic maneuver underscores the gravity with which Denmark viewed the threat and its commitment to safeguarding Greenland’s sovereignty.

DR also reported Denmark was negotiating with other European countries to ward off a US invasion of Greenland.

“We have not been in such a situation since April 1940,” a Danish defence source was quoted as saying, referencing the German invasion of Denmark in World War II.

“The US would have to carry out a hostile act to get Greenland,” another was quoted as saying.

France, Germany, the UK, Norway and Sweden all sent troops to Greenland in January in a signal of military cooperation against the US.

But his rhetoric on the Danish autonomous territory has eased off after NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte arranged “the framework of a future deal” with the president.
In the weeks since Trump initiated the war with Iran, Greenland appears to have dropped off the president’s radar.
Trump sought to annex the island to become part of the United States.

Greenland has substantial strategic value because of its location, as well as a plethora of rare earths which have been, up to this point, very difficult to access.

Just 56,000 people live on the island, the world’s largest.
