Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, said he will introduce a resolution to block Donald Trump from invading Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory.

I’m just saying it the laziest, easiest way to create a “fait accompli” without technically attacking a NATO ally. From the point of view of NATO, it then becomes a territorial dispute similar to those between Greece and Turkey, or the Whisky war between Canada and Denmark. It’s the easiest way for Rubio to keep him happy without blowing up NATO.
