Denmark's Mette Frederiksen said "everything would stop" in the event of a US attack on another NATO country. European leaders have backed Frederiksen while saying the US "is an essential partner."
Which, indeed, could mean the end of NATO. If it becomes clear that the “alliance” is basically you following the provisions when it serves the US and nobody following them when it doesn’t, what’s the point of all this legalese?
Does an invasion/attack by one NATO member trigger an Article 5 response against that country by the remainder of NATO?
I am sure that this scenario has been imagined before (ahem Greece v. Turkey)
Unless countries like the UK and France are willing to deploy their militaries to fight US soldiers in Greenland, it doesn’t matter.

Yep I think NATO is effectively dead already. We don’t need to wait for the Greenland annexation for that to be the case.
