"Maybe you can bring in 100 guys to take the capital and raise the flag. But that does not mean you own Greenland. It's mind boggling."
While Donald Trump refuses to rule out military force to take Greenland, a "special operation" to seize the Danish territory may not succeed and would cause a NATO and global crisis, warns Former military intelligence officer Malcolm Nance.

Invading Greenland means declaring war on NATO. Not upholding our many treaties. If no money set aside for invasion it may be violating separation of powers also.

very few people actually refuse to follow illegal orders under the best of times and so far we have what seems to be enthusiastic (or at least passive) support for most of Trump's wishes.
