Start with the local police, and escalate as needed, same as you would if LEGO decided to start a paramilitary camp. Point is, unless US troops get involved, this is a local matter, and it benefits Denmark for it to stay that way.
Historically, it has worked more often than it hasn’t. The Big Lie of Vietnam is that it was The Rule rather than a glaring exception.
Most countries don’t mount a successful domestic defense. Most opposition groups don’t have a rival Superpower at their backs. Most insurgency and paramilitary efforts fail.
Meanwhile, the folks doing the imperialist terror campaign to seize control only ever profit, personally, from these military operations. And the public only ever gets fed some bullshit about how Americans are being greeted as liberators.
Sure, but then again, most superpowers don’t run out of ammo a month into a war, or telegraph a landgrab against their biggest, most reliable allies, yet here we are. But that’s also besides the point: if the US were to win a shooting war over Greenland, it’s all the more important for them to be the ones to start it.
Most militaries don’t have a very specific kind of anti-ballistic missile defense system that uses $15M/pop interceptors that need to be fired in clusters of 3-5 to be effective per incoming target.
The Americans aren’t running out of bullets or tanks or fighter-bombers. They’re running out of these specific suites of precision anti-air defense tools. And they’re running out because they’ve spread their arsenal across four continents, in an attempt to beat Russia and Iran in an active conflict, while still holding a gun on China and Pakistan.
These weapons shortages aren’t slowing down the Rubio/Hegseth campaign to blow up fishing boats in the Carribean and close off international waters around Cuba. It doesn’t stop them from arming militias in the Philippines and Indonesia, in their crusade to enslave the native peoples of the Pacific Rim. It won’t stop them from sending more special forces in to kidnap a president from Venezuela.
This is the difference between fighting a modern war with a rival industrial power and shoving an underdeveloped, largely rural country into the metaphorical locker.
With what army?

Would go about as well
…Yes, you will note that Grenada was invaded by the US military. Catspaws don’t quite have that kind of firepower.
If US business interests come under attack, the US military has a cause to intervene.
It has an excuse, which it may or may not act upon. But making that escalation is Trump’s mistake to make. That’s my point.
