The U.S. has — by far — the world’s largest defense budget, spending $948 billion last year. Its armed forces have 1.3 million personnel — some of them currently stationed in Greenland. Denmark, for its part, last year spent $9.9 billion, has only 17,000 soldiers, and most of its heavy land-warfare equipment has been donated to Ukraine.
US military conducts first major beachhead operation since WW2
Thousands of American troops freeze to death
marines in ancient AAVs drowning en mass because nobody thought to check if the water had icebergs before ordering a landing
this is like an old school StarCraft battle.net grief move. you wait until your “ally” sends in an attack wave, then send your dudes into your “allies” base and then turn off allies/unshare vision with them.
then when they post “wtf” in the chat, you say, “you should never trust the [your team’s race]” or something else deranged.


“you should never trust the [your team’s race]”
you should never trust honkeys?
Just so everybody knows, the shortest war in world history was the Anglo-Zanzibar War, which lasted approximately 38 minutes. So if the US invasion of Greenland takes fewer than 37 minutes before Denmark surrenders, it will officially be the new shortest war in world history.
If the US actually sent an invading force I imagine they would capitulate before boots are even on the ground. What the fuck are the Danes gonna do against the US war machine lol?
They don’t even have nuclear power plants let alone weapons.
They could pull a Three Hundred and Thirty Five Year’s War esque situation where they just declare war and never sign a peace treaty, without ever actually mobilizing their army or trying to fight back.
They could pull NATO Article 5.
The Politico article actually goes into that possibility, and says that it’s unclear whether article 5 actually can be invoked against another NATO member.
All the yanks would need to do would be to send a mid-sized naval ship and a polite letter and the Danes would surrender.

It would be hilarious if Greenland got senate seats

[Norway declares independence after 277 years of Danish rule, Sweden immediately invades] “God dammit!”
[Norway declares independence after 91 years of Swedish rule, Germany invades 35 years later] “Not again!”
[Norway liberated after 5 years of German occupation, USA invades 80 years later] “WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!?!”
I want the US to invade Norway
It would be so fucking funny
I want based Norwegian guerillas on skis sniping yanks in the mountains.
I’ll see to it.
I am incidentally an American in Norway, and I’ve always been very firmly opposed to the US military presence in this country. Which probably means I’d be among the very first people the Yankee occupying forces would execute if they were to formalize their occupation.
If I survive, however, rest assured that my partisan brigade would gladly take in any of my drafted cousins who wish to desert their posts. It would probably be the most effective force fighting the Yankees, too. It would be named after my communist great-granddad who derailed an enemy train the last time a fascist settler-colonial state invaded the Weathered North.

Norway should appreciate Svalbard while they still can.
Gonna predict a quick and easy war based on enemy official military spending and the size of their standing army, eh? Gotta respect the classics.
And now, Greenlandic Dora in 2026:
“That YanKKKee soldier was just sniped by a qoqassiisarlutik sorsuttut. That’s what we in Greenland call a guerrilla fighter. Can you say qoqassiisarlutik sorsuttut?”
edit
That might actually say “guerrilla fighters” rather than just “guerrilla fighter”, I’m not sure
I absolutely cannot say qoqassiisarlutik sorsuttut, but I do thank them for their service.
Honestly, I like singing along to Greenlandic songs sometimes. I end up wondering if I’m really so weird for not finding reading Greenlandic particularly challenging, or if other people just get scared off by the word lengths and never actually try.
Worked with the Houthi’s
This has been honestly better foreign policy from Trump than I could have ever expected, burn all the bridges in the imperial core even before taking the office
really is a great start of the presidency
You love to see it. I implore all American PATRIOTS to encourage this behaviour from the white house!
Unironic harm reduction candidate.
I know everyone is laughing at the absurdity of this but please think of the Inuit who are already colonized by Denmark
whites actually settled Greenland as well, but died out because they couldn’t handle the cold
one of the rare few cases where outcompetition took place naturally, and not by throwing hordes of racism + people at stuff
I feel like the US is just gonna take it and everyone will pretend it was nice and cool.
That seems like the most likely scenario, cause let’s be real who’s gonna stop them?
They’re gonna buy it I’m sure. Horse head type of situation
Yup
Support plummets among chewing tobacco enthusiasts once they find out the city of Copenhagen has nothing to do with the price of dip.
well half of the name makes sense, but idk what the fuck “hagen” means :^)
Yes it will be short when all the NATO treaty members all have to launch nukes at each other because of mutual defence.
(I know this won’t actually happen and the us can just do whatever it wants of course)
Also worth noting that article 5 doesn’t actually say what people seem to think it says. It just states that each member has to help in some way, but the level of support is completely up to them. It absolutely does not require members to engage militarily.
Canada commits to sending $12b worth of laser guided Thoughts and Prayers
Canada donates their entire military to the invasion of Greenland leaving them completely open to the American Anschluss
Germany sends some rusted chainmail
nuclear armageddon would be pretty short too
I don’t think duration is the key problem with how bad a war is
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
If it’s shorter than 6 days he’s going to piss off the Zionists
3 day invasion of Russia by Georgia maybe
Special Military Operation in Greenland
I think “all the gear, no idea” applies here. Size isn’t necessarily competence. I’d also like to think some other countries would say “you can’t do that, you daft dapeth”.
Let’s be real, who would actually defend Greenland against a US invasion?
Greenland is in the EU, so I’d have thought that they’d have something to say about it.
As I said …”I’d like to think…”.
You mean the same EU that pretended that the US didn’t blow up their critical infrastructure?
I have no clue what you’re trying to achieve here. I said “I’d like to think…”, which I think makes it clear I accept it might not happen.
I’m just pointing out that there’s no chance in hell it would happen. The EU is entirely dependent on the US, and it’s in no position to do anything if the US starts annexing territory. Europeans made a strategic error assuming that the US was their steadfast ally. The relationship closer to that of a farmer sheltering a goat. It’s not done out of affection.
You didn’t need to. Bit late for that though.
