Ok, I just looked it up on the post office website and it seems you’re correct. I guess it must have been changed recently.

Yes very remote and isolated bases. Very much dependent on resupply by sea. Yeah it’d be a dick move to destroy the bases power generation capabilities during a -40 winter, but these are the times we live in I guess.
The danish military. Side note, the USA does their cold weather training in Norway in terrain that local civilians ski/hike recreationally, and in temperatures that are significantly higher than those in Greenland. You are right that there is an exchange of expertise in NATO, but it’s the Scandinavians that do the training when it comes to cold weather / mountain warfare. The USA’s specialty is urban counterinsurgency and bombing Africans.
I mean a long protracted conflict which the us will eventually back out of without having anything to show for it except a massive bill for destroyed equipment and a giant pr problem.
Greenland is part of the kingdom of Denmark. Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland have a long standing mutual defence pact separate from NATO. A direct confrontation with the United States navy would be foolish, so guerilla warfare would be a lot more beneficial. Unless Britain and France get involved of course. That would alter things somewhat.
The vast ice sheet that covers Greenland would be the new home away from home to various Scandinavian special forces units who would habitually commit assassinations and sabotage against any occupying force. The result would be a massively asymmetric situation similar to Vietnam but in extremely cold temperatures.
Danish special forces are watching you…
Also Congress is complicit.
Nah we just have to follow EU regulations without any of the benefits or ability to influence policy.
Yay, horizon irl!
It’s possible to get a small boat (couple of berths, simple galley and a shitter) for around $5000 total in Norway. But as with all things this gets progressively more expensive the further north you go. But overall boats are not that expensive here because there are a lot of them. (Supply and demand)
You can get a car that runs for around €3000 in Bergen or Oslo, but used cars get progressively more expensive the further north you go. But getting work done on a car is the expensive thing. I payed around €5000 for my car 3 years ago and last year I spent €3000 getting it passed the control. The problem is that Norway has a harsh coastal climate (salt spray, constantly going above and below freezing etc), and shit roads outside of Oslo. I’ve broken 2 springs, cracked my oil sump, and punctured a tyre just because of shitty roads. And because Norway is outside the EU we pay toll on everything we order from outside Norway, which is most things (including car parts) because Norway doesn’t actually produce anything).
Just had a look at used sailing boats in Norway and there are a fair number for under $10 000. Basically cheaper than a used car or camper. I’d have one if I had somewhere to keep it.
My dad got a relatively seaworthy one for around £5000. It’s the maintenance and marina fees that cost.
Boat = a hole in the water that you throw money into.
He’s still part of a weird Catholic sect. The Nazis think they are manipulating the fundamentalists to do their bidding, but really it’s the other way round. Just wait and see.
That’s what the heritage Foundation is trying to achieve, yes. Trump is playing the part of the antichrist, musk is the beast. I’m mostly concerned about how they interpret “lake of fire”.
I mean the russian people doing to Putin and the oligarchs what the Libyans did to Gaddafi.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SPENT EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS MAKING TRANSGENDER MICE!
