2026 US-Denmark Tensions/End of NATO

[Altair]

I would think that the US will need those ships assigned to Iran to rotate back home. I doubt that the majority of them will be able to take on another assignment directly after this.

Almost certainly, I just imagine that the Pentagon doesn't want assets being deployed in two theaters and leaving gaps open when both need to be refitted at the same time

Do you think the American military can replicate the capabilities of ramstein air base somewhere that is not Europe in the course of a year?

I dont see where that would be, I dont see it happening by 2027.

The Americans need Ramstein more than the Germans need Americans at Ramstein.

If trump gets his way this will be the greatest geopolitical disaster for the americans in generations and its completely self inflicted.

I will sit by with popcorn and watch the fallout.

Hypothesis 1: the critics here have a remarkable ability to pinpoint strategic weaknesses that cannot be overcome by the Pentagon.

Hypothesis 2: the Pentagon has competent planners that can find new ways of doing old business.

They should also be concerned about burn-out of their crews. How many will sign on again after being at sea for extended periods of time, particularly if the pictures regarding the food are in any way correct and with no mail

Maybe, maybe not. Look how long the Ford was deployed.

Cubs would look more like Venezuela than Iran. Short, sharp regime change operation with probably a modest and brief ground presence. Projecting power to Cuba would be much easier than Iran, and there would be much less military work to be done.

The higher up the chain one goes the less one cares about such things.

until you don't have trained crews when they are needed like us.

Natural consequences of such actions, but look at who is in charge in the states and tell me they care about the long term consequences of their actions.

Trump and co are looking to remove their troops presence in Europe by 2027, according to leaks coming out of Europe.

Tell me that screams long term planning.

The Danes are not going with an American option because it will take 'too long'...

Denmark to receive first SAMP/T NG air-defense system in 2028​

Denmark will receive the French-Italian SAMP/T NG air-defense system starting in 2028 after orders were signed in the first quarter of this year, according to French defense firm Thales, which will supply the radar for the Danish system.

The Danish version of the system will be equipped with the Thales Ground Fire 300 radar, the company said in a statement on Tuesday. The purchase officially makes Denmark the third country to join the club of SAMP/T NG clients, alongside France and Italy, Thales said.
