[ColonelCassad] After the political visits of Vance and Co. to Greenland, the US is also upping the military pressure by assembling a naval group for operations off the coast of Greenland.

Trump once again emphasized that he is going to incorporate Greenland into the US, preferably peacefully, but if necessary, there are other options.

Rattling weapons off the coast of Greenland is also a response to Europe and Denmark, which are broadcasting that they will defend Greenland from the US.

Of course, if the US wants, they can easily occupy the island and occupy the few settlements and objects of Greenland.

Without external interference, one AUG + several battalions of Marines will be enough to ensure the operation.

But for now, Trump wants to get Greenland without any effort at all. In order for the island to return to its native harbor, we must try harder.

#3  A pity Greenland is not smaller. Mrs Vance could have brought it back in the overhead bin.

#1  AFAICT, the USA has been providing all the defensive capability that Greenland has. This has been the case since WWII. Another situation the media never mentions because it doesn't fit their narrative.
