    I doubt Denmark could fend off the U.S., especially since other NATO countries are likely just monitoring the situation rather than taking action.

      The Nordics are pretty great at arctic warfare, just look at how well the Finns did. Pretty much all their gear are usable in arctic conditions and they train regularly for guerrilla warfare in extreme cold. The situation for the US is not the same. Most of their gear will not work in the winter in Greenland.

      Im not saying they will win, i just mean that it’s more complex than having the larger gun.

      However, the US are about to loose big in trade. Who the hell will want to buy American?

      The US has a military base in Greenland already. Pituffik Space Base doesn’t appear to be going anywhere, despite all the bluster.

      And as the US is the military backbone of NATO, I’m not seeing how NATO as an institution would respond with the leadership structure and base management riddled with American personal.
