The small number of NATO forces gathering in Greenland is a tripwire only. It’s designed to set off a much larger consequence if the US attacks. I think it’s pretty clear that if the US decides to seize the island, not much can stop us.

That tripwire needs to be tied to severe economic consequences along with hostage taking of American troops on EU bases.
