Is it friendly to demand someone else's stuff with the threat of force?

Is it friendly to ignore the opinions of the 50k people who live there?

Is it friendly to not be satisfied with the clear existing agreements and alliances that already permit US bases there?

Would we consider it friendly if Denmark demanded "useless" parts of, say, Nevada, and threatened to wreck our economy and/or invade if we said no?

It's genuinely wild to me that you look at the available factual information and go "yep, Europe's being a big meanie here". Trump's threats are not the acts of a friend.
