Denmark planned to blow up Greenland runways if US invaded, reports say

Denmark secretly deployed elite soldiers to Greenland in January with orders to sabotage airport runways if the United States attempted to invade the semi-autonomous Arctic territory, according to Danish public broadcaster DR. The operation, which included troops from several European NATO allies and medical supplies for treating combat casualties, was triggered by President Trump's repeated demands to annex Greenland and his administration's swift military action to capture Venezuela's president. While publicly presented as routine military exercises called Operation Arctic Endurance, the deployment was actually designed to raise the cost of any potential American invasion, though Danish officials acknowledged they likely couldn't repel a full US attack.
