    USA is not an ally to anyone, just look at how they’ve behaved against Canada, a country that supported the US fight for independence, and has been their #1 ally ever since.
    Denmark too has been one of the closest allies to USA for half a century. And USA could easily make defense agreements regarding Greenland with Greenland and Denmark. Yet they choose to behave like an enemy!!!

    USA is behaving like an enemy, and behaving like an enemy, actually makes you one.

    For Christ sake, stop the purchase from Denmark of F35!! What the fuck is our government thinking continuing that moronic program?

      Canada, a country that supported the US fight for independence

      I do have to question this idea, because the defining feature that kept Canada as Canada, rather than yet another part of the US, is that the Canadian colonies famously did not support independence.

      The US even tried to “liberate” Quebec during the war, and the locals were very much not fans of that idea.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada–United_States_relations

        At the outset of the American Revolutionary War, the American revolutionaries hoped the French Canadians in Quebec and the Colonists in Nova Scotia would join their rebellion. They were pre-approved for joining the United States in the Articles of Confederation. When northeastern Quebec was invaded, thousands joined the American cause

        Yeah, over a long enough timescale every country’s relations have their ups and downs. Recent generations have been quite close, though - Canada spent a lot of military lives supporting America’s misadventure in Afghanistan, for example. So it’s still quite the massive stab in the back as far as the currently living Canadians are concerned.
