Comment on Danish Forces Are Mandated to Fire Back if U.S. Attacks Greenland

The US has missile warning systems in Greenland. If they attack Greenland these systems will probably become targets. This means that it would be an extremely stupid tactical move that puts the US in danger.

The US is also totally unprepared to deal with the kind of cold it would encounter in Greenland. Nordic military forces have way more experience, and they are far better equipped. Most US tanks and artillery would not operate reliably in Greenland.
Trump made a joke about Greenland defense forces having two dogsleds. That would be two more than the US has, and the dogs would actually function, unlike US troop transports.
