Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that Denmark, a country the size of Virginia, is flexing up to fight either the US or Russia or even both. Denmark’s got some serious balls.
Not that they’ll go at it alone. Most Europeans would absolutely lose their shit when Trump actually tries to make good on his promise.
Plus, I doubt the military wisdom of trying to snatch Greenland with some sort of expeditionary force. Greenland is huge and hospitable. It would allow a defender to wage a prolonged war using drone warfare and guerrilla tacts, both of which the US has been ineffective to counter in recent conflicts.
The US would also have to supply its forces primarily by sea, which would make the US supply chain vulnerable to attacks with naval drones.
