Might have been the plan all along, or at least the backup plan.
There’s only around 50,000 people in Greenland, it’s about as populous as a mid-size college town. All the US really has to do to soft take over is increase their presence on the Island, feel like that’s probably going to be a focus of this task force from the US side. Logistics are problematic but the US has singular military bases that are significantly more populated than the entire country. From there, I feel like future Greenland independence talks could become interesting in a way that might not work out well.
