The US and Denmark signed a Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) on Thursday that grants the US military access to bases in the Nordic nation and allows the storage of US weapons on Danish soil.
Denmark was one of the original 12 members of NATO when the alliance was founded in 1949 but had a long-standing policy of not allowing foreign militaries to be permanently stationed on its territory. Denmark is now breaking from that policy, as Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said the DCA means that “American soldiers and equipment can be permanently stationed on Danish soil.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Danish counterpart, Lars Rasmussen, signed the deal in Washington. The DCA now needs to be ratified by Denmark’s parliament. Blinken said once the deal goes into effect, the two militaries “will be able to coordinate more effectively, even more effectively than they already are.”
“Our troops will train together more seamlessly and more often. We’ll enhance NATO’s interoperability, allowing our Alliance to better safeguard peace and stability for people all across the continent,” Blinken added.
The US signed similar agreements with Sweden and Finland this month, solidifying a US military presence across the Nordic region, as it has had a similar arrangement with Norway for years.
The deal with Finland, NATO’s newest member, gives the US access to 15 bases in a country that shares an over 800-mile border with Russia. One of the facilities is a border guard base on the Russian border. Moscow has said it will respond to the expansion of NATO infrastructure in Finland by increasing its military presence in western Russia.
Basically, these countries are admitting they are dependencies of the DC empire … and just as the empire is starting to fall apart too. Have they seen the condition of our streets and people?
Isn’t that special. America will transfer more funds to European countries that it borrows from China.
Can you imagine the inflation rate in a few years?
Something that we can both agree upon…!!!
Buy gold, silver, palladium, platnium. Something, anything they cant print or add value to with just keystrokes so when the bottom falls out you wont be having only worthless script printed or keystroked to being yesterday…..!!!!!!!!!!
Finland Sweden, and Denmark needs to expect drunken, drug abusing young men who assault and sexually assault local citizens around military bases.
They need only to look to Okinawa for a taste of what is to come.
You got that right. And the brothels.
Missing their Viking adventures, the Danish are always complaining they’re no longer brave enough and are always willing to invite the worst and most thuggish predators to devastate their own country. But it’s always not as satisfying as being the Vikings, themselves.
Putin is making NATO great again. Lol.
No, but seriously, he is.
NATO was never great in the first place. It should never have been around. Other nations should rely on themselves and not on the US for military protection.
The US wouldn’t want its frenemies: Russia and China to establish bases in Canada and Mexico and expand the Warsaw Pact closer to its borders.
Putin is making NATO great again. Lol.
No, but seriously, he is.
Place your bets which country’s economy is going to collapse first.
Another colony for the empire…
This will make 8/900 bases for the US? And for good measure, let’s make the Russians even More paranoid! No, we’re not trying to squeeze them, you’re imagining things!
Russia don’t need no stinken bases!!!!! They have nuclear powered rockets with12,000 mile range @ super nukes 4000 times the explosive force of the 1s U.S. & NATO have. What good are all the thousands of basses except to be easy pickins targets for Russian and Chinese missiles….. !!!!!!
They also had 1.5 million troops, teleporting intergalactic missiles, indestructible Tanks, unlimited number of Stealth fighters, and the most highly capable, clean, professionalized, and motivated Army.
Plus lots of Boomerang missiles, you know, the ones that come back to earth immediately after launching.
Lol.
Do you mean to tell me that Denmark was one of the few countries in which we did NOT station troops? On to Outer Mongolia!
U.S. Troops in Finland, Sweden, and Denmark… looks like the left wing of a pincer move to Moscow. Think of what is happening to the right wing (Ukraine) of the pincer. It may not even take a few years, ..but.. If I were living in Scandinavia right now I’d be looking for a way to get out of there before it is too late.
Nah, they won’t go anywhere. They are perfectly fine where they are.
Putin is learning a big lesson in Ukraine. He might be dumb, but not dumb enough to repeat an even greater humiliation and embarrassment against stronger / richer countries.
