How do you believe the Axis power will occupy Greenland?
Same way they do it anywhere else. A month of artillery bombardment on every hospital, church, and elementary school with a “Fighting Age Male” in line of sight until everyone in the country is afraid to step outside the house.
Send in the jackboots to take major ports and city centers, then loot the surrounding area of valuables.
Start paying half the surviving population a bounty of bread and cigarettes for every “insurgent” scalp they bring in, and set off a civil war that scars the country for a century.
Then fall back to a Green Zone and use anyone left for target practice with your latest AI powered weapons system.
Write the territory off as “ungovernable” in fifteen years, and have your retired grunts sign a multi-million dollar book/movie deal called “Snowmobile Heroes: Liberation Victory Patrol”
Ok so they plan to kill their former allies, as well as any Greenlanders that don’t want to be occupied, which is all of them.
If you think this is a feasible sane approach, you’re either a troll, or you’re out of your fucking mind. The world will turn to China and trash the US economy instantly.
It’s no more feasible or sane than any of our other adventurist wars. But it’s crazy to think the Europeans are willing to play the role of Punching Bad to our Imperial Iron Fist. If the US is serious about taking Greenland, the Europeans will back out of the way. Because the US is an enormous, horrifying killing machine and Greenland simply isn’t worth that kind of heat.
The world will turn to China and trash the US economy instantly.
European reactionaries will be on the side of the US - just like Canadians were in the last election cycle - and they’ll likely eat some shit for it in the short term. But the US will continue to pump the continent full of white nationalist propaganda. The liberal European leadership will continue to let it happen. And the reactionaries will win in the end when liberals roll over a few years later.

That’s been the US modus operandi since Truman.
