Fear of the US: Denmark prepared a war scenario for Greenland

Denmark prepared for an extreme confrontation scenario with the United States, sending explosives to Greenland to destroy airport runways and blood supplies to treat the wounded, in the event of a possible conflict.

According to a report by Danish broadcaster DR, citing senior government, military and intelligence sources from several European countries, these measures were taken in early 2026, when fears grew that the US might attempt to take control of Greenland by force.

The plan called for the runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq to be destroyed in the event of an invasion to prevent US military aircraft from landing. At the same time, blood supplies from Danish banks were sent to the island as part of preparations for a possible confrontation.

Although there was no concrete information about attack plans from the US, sources indicate that the situation was considered serious, especially after President Donald Trump's repeated statements about taking over Greenland and international developments that increased uncertainty.

A key moment was the beginning of January 2026, when the US launched a military operation in Venezuela. According to sources, this event changed the perception of the threat and forced Denmark to consider all scenarios.

In response, Copenhagen sought support from European allies, building a common front with countries such as France and Germany. Troops from several countries were sent to Greenland, along with fighter jets and naval assets, to increase the military presence in the region.

The goal, according to sources, was clear: to increase the cost of any potential American intervention and create a political and military deterrent to such a scenario.

The operation was publicly presented as a military exercise, but according to sources it was not just an exercise, but real preparation for a possible conflict.

The situation calmed down on January 21, when Donald Trump declared that the US would not use military force to take over Greenland. However, according to sources, the crisis is not considered closed and tensions could return.
