Greenland and Ukraine: Is Denmark squeezed between Trump and Putin?

from The Global Agora · host Andrej Matisak

How much does Denmark feel squeezed between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, as the Russian ruler wages a war in Europe, and the US President says he wants to take over Greenland? What does this mean for Denmark's threat perceptions? These were some of the questions I asked Anders Puck Nielsen, a military analyst and researcher at the Royal Danish Defence College. You can find more information about him on his website: logicofwar.com. We discussed Denmark’s role in supporting Ukraine, why – according to Anders – Russia needs a spring offensive, and whether Putin is merely bullshiting the West with his engagement in the ceasefire talks with the Americans. Listen to our conversation. And if you enjoy what I do, please support me on Ko-fi! Thank you. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/amatisak
