    No, Greenland ranks higher than Mexico or Colombia I’m pretty sure. Because even if the US wins, there’s nothing to gain strategically, only lose. Greenland being part of Denmark which is part of NATO, the US can literally just ask Denmark “hey can we build military bases on your kewl island” and Denmark likely would’ve been like “ok sure” before all the recent shenanigans. The stated goals are literally achievable without declaring war on allies.

    I don’t think Trump will invade China - or if he does, I don’t think that the rest of the chain of command would listen to him anymore. THAT would indeed be the stupidest thing he could do. Everybody will lose if that happens, but especially the US.

      Even dumber because if we asked Denmark to build a base there they’d respond by asking if we really need another one

        Not really. They’d ask if you’d not prefer to move back into one of the many bases that you have abandoned in Greenland and save some money.
