   While Trump claims Denmark has done too little to defend Greenland, former Foreign Minister of Denmark Villy Søvndal writes on Facebook, that the US used to have 10,000 troops on multiple bases in Greenland; but when he visited Greenland recently, he discovered those numbers have been reduced to around 140 soldiers.

   So the question is: If the defence of Greenland is so important to the US, why has the US cut the defence budget and reduced their presence to just 1 military base?

   Well, the stated goal of the retaliation is to remove Hamas' ability to execute further massacres.

   There are good and bad ways of doing this, but while the headlines are full of casualty numbers, they don't actually break down how many of the dead are soldiers.

   So I'd say that Israel's reaction is overkill but largely effective. They would have been wiser to combine the carrot and the stick, ruthlessly rooting out Hamas while showering Gazans with kindness by avoiding a humanitarian disaster.
