Summary

A YouGov poll found that 46% of Danes view the US as a major threat, surpassing concerns about North Korea and Iran but trailing Russia (86%).

Additionally, 78% oppose selling Greenland to the US, though 72% believe Greenland should decide its own fate.

The poll follows heightened tensions over Trump’s repeated claims that acquiring Greenland is an “absolute necessity” for US economic security.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has sought European unity in response, warning of shifting relations with the US.

      American here, I support the American purchase of Greenland.

      It’ll be nice to have the option to settle or visit there without having to go through customs.

      I live in Denmark, and was at a farm store, where the attendant said that musk did not do a nazi salute. I then jumped in and said “well, let’s see your do that”, which she did, and none of the others reacted to a girl in her late teens doing a nazi salute. You have no idea how many supports AfD and Trump has in Denmark…

      Where i work, there’s about 120 employees. 5 of them loves Trump, and one even proudly wears a MAGA hat. It’s a fucking shit show in the country side.

        Do the schools teach history well in Denmark? Part of the problem in the USA is that people simply don’t know the history of Nazism and the Holocaust.

          I’m Norwegian, so the educational system is basically the same. Though, I’m not sure about today, but growing up in the 90’s, we learned a lot about WW2, including pictures of when our elementary school was overtaken by the Nazis, so you’d think they’d be aware of it.

      The article doesn’t show the full data but there’s probably a good chunk of “don’t know / not sure” in that 22%.

      72% would let Greenland have the decision some of them might not want to give their own opinion or simple don’t have one

        22% think the pollster is a CIA operative. 6% can’t wait to become a fascist Andorian hellscape because surely they’ll be billionaires then.

      YouGov is a poll that pays points pr. poll. These points can be used to buy actual products or gift cards worth real money. Lots of people click through them without reading the questions.

      They sometimes add “click option 2 to verify that you’ve read the question”, but even then it’s likely that some percentages just click the right option by chance. On a short poll like this, they probably didn’t even do the check.

      Some of them might not be sure or not care. A small percentage of around 5 percent can always be found to support pretty much anything in amy type of poll

      Except it’s nearly half, meaning the majority do not see the U.S. as a threat.

      And they should, because it is. To the world.

    American here, I think we should bring back expansionism and the world would be a better place if Canada, Mexico, and Greenland were all part of the US.

      American here.

      I think Canada or Mexico should carve up the us and make it part of them. I also think they should leave the welfare states in the south to fend for themselves as the remainder of the us
