The Danes not only don't care, they've offered them.

Hey, you want to reinforce your bases, the old bases you had?

Knock yourself out.

We'll let you do that.

The Danes have said that.

But invading is a whole different thing.

And I guess there's a bill trying to get through the Senate right now that basically is the NATO Protection Act.

The other thing that's involved here is we are attacking, basically, another NATO member, Denmark and its constituency on Greenland.

If that happens, we have violated what would be an Article 4 constraint on any nation.

When one nation attacks any NATO force, all the other NATO nations come together to counter that.

So we are the ones attacking a NATO force at this point.

And by the way, that NATO alliance is a congressionally mandated alliance.

It was signed in 1947.

And no one has taken that alliance document away saying, we no longer believe in the alliance.

There's no other word but insanity on this Greenland thing.

Did you ever go up there?

Yeah, I've been there twice.

I landed in Thule Air Force Base twice on the way to Europe.

And...

A little Air Force base with enough room for one plane to land, and it's got a nice little terminal with one vending machine with candy bars in it and another one with coffee, and that's it.
