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. If US presence outnumbers native presence, I feel like future Greenland independence talks could become interesting in a way that might not work out well.
