I do not think Trump will invade it like he did to Venezuela -but he will make money off his threats in some way or another, like he always done!!

The US needs Greenland so much for national security that it has closed all but one of its bases there and keeps only 150 soldiers on the island, while Denmark would allow as many US troops as it wants

With no real intent to truly invade. Sure, he'll take it right up to the limit to terrorize everyone, assert power for power's sake, and torment Europe/NATO.

And...

along with Venezuela and Minnesota, knocked Epstein right out of the mainstream conversation. This alllllll happened after the Epstein waves were crashing on the rocks before the holidays.

….would decrease our national security disastrously once we get Europe/NATO’s response.
He and/or whoever is pushing this is insane.
