Honestly.... this is just a beyond stupid move by the UK during a time when Diego Garcia plays an even more important role than it has previously. Sure in a perfect world this could be done but the world isnt perfect and this inflicts much more damage than whatever good it does.
Not to mention it gives Trump a MASSIVE reason to keep up his Greenland play. Just a terrible choice by the UK that is even getting massive blowback in the country because of the weakness it exposes.
Yea there's no way thee US is going to allow anything that risks the Navy/AF losing control of DG, everyone knows that and has for decades, so the question is what is this pony show really about?
I honestly have no idea since it just fuels his Greenland hopes and dreams. Its just pointless like you stated.
Nothing is without historical context

Well and you can factor in the current lack of military investment Denmark has done into Greenland as well.
Their scale could never move the needle even if they tried, we're not talking a few radar or ground stations... They don't even have submarines
