7. And that is no trivial distinction

If Trumpusk attacks Greenland now, he attacks Denmark, and the rest of NATO is obligated to defend against the attack. If he attacks an unaligned Greenland, a few dozen thousand Inuit spread out over 1600 miles of a mostly uninhabited independent territory will be in no position to defend themselves. For now, Denmark is content with giving the Greenland Inuit a wide-ranging autonomy. Under Musk, they would be nothing more than a colony.
