Communique #003: The Copenhagen Response

The “Absurdity” Doctrine

The official response from the Kingdom of Denmark has been swift, sharp, and structurally defensive. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has categorized the Purchase Protocols as “absurd,” drawing a hard line in the Arctic snow.

“Greenland is not for sale. Greenland is not Danish. Greenland belongs to Greenlanders. I strongly hope that this is not meant seriously.” — PM Mette Frederiksen

Nuuk’s Stance: “We Are Not For Sale”

Local leadership in Nuuk echoed this sentiment, issuing a joint statement from all five political parties. The message is clear: Self-determination is non-negotiable.

• Identity: “We do not want to be Americans, we do not want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders.”
• Sovereignty: The rejection is not just financial; it is existential. The 2009 Self-Government Act is cited as the legal shield against external acquisition.

The NATO Paradox

This friction creates a unique geopolitical paradox. Denmark is a staunch NATO ally, yet the US Executive’s aggressive real estate maneuvers threaten to destabilize the very alliance meant to secure the Arctic.

• The Risk: Copenhagen warns that a forced US takeover could effectively end the NATO alliance structure in the North.
• The Reality: While diplomats protest, strategic planners know that security dependencies often outweigh sovereignty rhetoric in the endgame.

Committee Analysis

The “Project 51” algorithm interprets these rejections not as a final “No,” but as the opening volley of a high-stakes negotiation. History shows that “absurd” ideas often become policy when the check is large enough or the security theat grows dark enough.

Status: Diplomatic impasse observed. Economic pressure vectors continuing as planned.
