10. You think Putin will invade the Baltics at the same time Trump invades Greenland?

I have seen no evidence of this - Putin can barely supply enough convicts to feed the meat grinder in Ukraine.

You seem to forget that if Trump invades Greenland, the EU can retaliate by selling off trillions in treasury bonds, crashing the dollar and triggering hyperinflation in the US. Tesla, Amazon, Apple, McDonald’s, etc banned from doing business in the EU, US troops stationed on EU soil become instant POW’s.

CEO’s would March on the White House with torches and pitchforks.

Invading Greenland is likely the only thing Trump could do that would motivate enough republicans in congress to support his impeachment and removal.
