Comment on Anon catches a glimpse of his own mortality
LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoI think there wouldn’t be any serious combat, to be honest. Denmark isn’t that stupid, worst the yanks would get is a belligerent hunter with a rifle. So, all cold weather deaths would be on them, tbh. Besides, they have a military base on Greenland anyway, it’s not like it’s completely new to them

This is the thing though. They have a military base in Iceland and Denmark pretty much gives them can’t blanch to do whatever they want in the country so they don’t need to launch an actual invasion.
But of course Trump is an idiot so he’s threatening this anyway even though it’ll result in zero benefits for the United States.
The thing is though if they try and take Greenland by force it’s going to involve them occasionally leaving the heated interior of the US military compound. I’m sure that’s going to be a fun exercise for the troops.

It makes more sense if you assume that everything trump says is a lie made to misguide his voters.
“Why Canada and Greenland?” makes a lot more sense when you ignore the bullshit about climate change being fake. Lots of currently frozen resources and potential farm land up there.
