Sorry to get political but, why does the US think Denmark cannot defend Greenland?

@whowasthatmaskedman That's not going to be at all comparable. Greenland only has a population of 60K people. There's not really much for a local resistance to counter an occupation. And unlike Vietnam or Afghanistan, we aren't looking to install puppets we're looking to take it over. It's a different game.

Any conflict will see tragic loss of life for no good reason. That should be concerning enough. Though longer term, the damage done to NATO and European alliances is massive. Everyone is significantly weakened by this just through loss of trust alone.

Not only that, other large nations will see both Russia and the US engaged in wars of aggression for territory. We could try to call rogue state when it is only one nation doing it. But with two, it becomes normalized. How could we judge China for going after Taiwan if we invade Greenland?

The US doesn't need to be successful in taking Greenland to do long term and significant damage. It's already being done.

@ViciDraco I think we may be on the same side of this discourse. But for different reasons. So I am content to stick with my comments. They hold true all the way back to the war of independence.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman We generally have agreement on the broad strokes but differ in some of the details.
