and so there are good reasons why it would make sense to do this deal but i i think it it's probably just more so hey that's ours you know that's our thing we can't you can't have it and so right now it's more of that three-year-old temper tantrum like this is my toy i'm not going to share it and you know we will have to see whether or not they get over that and act like adults and say you know what let's actually consider this as a real idea

and how it might benefit all of us and maybe economically benefit Denmark because they don't have to keep shoveling money into into Greenland and it'll have better protection so anything that Denmark is doing today would be times 10 or times 100 in terms of defense and it would make the whole world safer so there are very good arguments for it but I think right now it's we're still in this shock and provocation stage where

It's, you know, all these leftists that are in Europe because Europe is moved very far to the left.

They just don't want to do anything that's going to make Trump happy.

They don't want to say yes to anything that Trump says.

And so right now we're still in that phase where they're just saying, absolutely not.

We're not going to do it and we'll fight you and we'll, you know, we're not going to have this happen and we can't.

But Trump does hold a lot of the cards.

You know, when they start bringing up NATO, Trump funds most of NATO and he could back out of NATO and NATO would collapse if he did that.

And you know, so like if Trump pulls, you know, uses the right cards,

he may be able to say, you know what, it's a better deal if you do this than if you don't, because look what happens if you don't.

And maybe you should just defend all this stuff yourselves and take care of your own defense.

And I think he's already made steps in that direction where he's required them to do their 3% or 5% GDP contribution.

And a lot of them have stepped up to pay more.

But right now, I think places like Germany are saying, you know what, we really do need to

protect ourselves and have our own army and have our own ability to defend ourselves from Russia.

And France is starting to say the same thing.

I saw a statement from Macron saying, you know, in order for us to really be able to defend ourselves, people need to fear us.

And right now they don't is the implication.

And so I think Europe is waking up to the fact that they've allowed or depended on the United States to provide for their defense and
