8. The sad fact is that Greenland and Denmark together do not have the military power to repel the US.

Trump is definitely capable of launching a war because he thinks he has the right to take anything he wants. And once Hegseth is confirmed and replaces military leaders with Trump sycophants, what’s to stop our takeover of Greenland? Yes, it’s wrong to attack another country just to exploit their natural resources, but Trump’s idol Putin does it a lot.

Denmark is a member of NATO, but would NATO actually come to their defense by attacking the US? Trump and his crazy advisers are most likely assuming that they would not because it is not easy to attack the US.
