    They have to request the use of private land and obviously most of Greenland and Denmark is not a US military base.

      But they can freely access military based. And they have their own military bases in Greenland. So who Greenland is going to shoot exactly? The airplanes flying to US bases in Greenland? The soldiers entering Dutch military bases?

      Also:

      “When requested, the Danish Executive Agent shall make reasonable efforts to facilitate temporary access to and use of private land and facilities (including roads, ports, and airfields), and public land and facilities (including roads, ports, and airfields) that are not a part of an Agreed Facility and Area, including those owned or controlled by Denmark or by local authorities, by U.S. forces, U.S. contractors, and Danish contractors for use in support of U.S. forces. U.S. forces, U.S. contractors, or Danish contractors shall not bear the cost of such facilitation”

      US can request access and Denmark has to facilitate it if possible. They can’t just deny it because they don’t feel like it. That’s the 2023 agreement.

            no, all agreements with the US can be ignored, since the US has already decided and shown it will do whatever it wants regardless of existing agreements / laws

            It’s generally agreed across the entire world that if you enter a contract with someone and that person breaks the terms of said contract, you are no longer beholden to those terms.

              Please show me the part of US-Denmark agreement that says US will stop saying that it should control Greenland. Because international agreement are based on written laws, not feelings.

        I assume these things are authorized or announced in some way. If paratroops start falling or landing craft are launched that’s a good indicator.
