      They just did. They are certainly not in Greenland to defend it against say Thailand.

        Nope. They sent “troops” (like 15 people e.g. German), not AGAINST US, but exactly the opposite: To show Trump, that they take his security worries for real and that they can protect Greenland. Ridiculous.

          And even if it was against US, I ment combat. There is no combat in Greenland so far. As soon as this started, NATO would break.

      and - what do you think I’m thinking? And what do you think would happen in that hypothetical case?

        I don’t need to imagine, you said it plainly. There would not be a war.

        What I’m saying is that there are EU and Canadian troops there. They are likely going to get in the way of the US if the US decides to occupy a port, or whatever it is the US decides to do to ‘take Greenland’. If the Allies try to prevent it and the Axis kills someone in the process, that will be difficult to just brush off politically. If Greenlanders die due to bombing, same thing.

        I would be interested to know how anyone can imagine an Axis occupation of Greenland that doesn’t involve Axis powers exercising lethal force. What is the actual plan from Trump?
