I'm scared and worried

It always seems like the "Wrong" people are in charge.

Some countries openly have dictatorships that have taken power by force.

Democratic countries are the same, however in those countries, those people that "took power" have since implemented a system that gives the illusion of choice.

I think Denmark has quite considerable defence capabilities and it goes back again to an earlier thread I made, what happens if one NATO country attacks another? I think other Scandinavian countries would certainly join Denmark in defence of Greenland and it would give Russia and China a chance to look like the good guys.

I agree with you about much of the worlds democracies and the illusion of choice, in many ways I'd like to see no political parties in parliaments, or at the very least more co-operation. In this country we're far to short sighted, our supposed leaders are far more interested in ripping chunks out of each other than acting in the national interest and for the good of the country. I wonder if part of the answer is making manifesto's legally binding in some way, obviously a government would have to have some leaway for things outside it's control, like Russia invading Ukraine and our energy prices going mental. But I think having some sort of legal mechanism would make them less likely to over promise and I can't many judges letting them get away with the sorts of obfuscation and changing the meanings of things, I think understandable by the common person, or man on the Clapham Omnibus as the phrase used to be would be a good yard stick.

There’s a UK-led military alliance called the Joint Expeditionary Force which includes all the Scandinavian and Baltic states. It would be bound to defend Greenland.
