      Yes, but usually spineless local politicians don’t want to cause an international incident, what is exactly what USA is counting on so they’ll salami slice more and more until there is a big blow-up with violence and things deteriorate from there.

      Hopefully Greenland is less spineless.

        It’s less about Greenland having a spine and it’s Allie’s in Europe not having a spine. If European nations would stand beside Greenland and offer support and troops America would likely back off. But Greenland should be expected to fight this on their own? I don’t think so.

        Europe not making a massive deal over this will allow the creep of American empire to control and occupy Europe more than it already does. This is a massive L for Europe and not just Greenland.

      I’d expect yes, but who’s to say local officials haven’t been bribed? Are Greenland officials immune to corruption?
