A war in Greenland?
JD Vance made it eminently clear that the United States would be taking Greenland, but said military force would not be necessary.
In contrast Trump explicitly did not rule out using military force. Trump followed up stating "We need Greenland, very importantly, for international security. We have to have Greenland. It's not a question of, 'Do you think we can do without it?' We can't.”
For the US to invade there would be many indicators from mobilization of Marines, amphibious ships and special operations forces kitted out for deep Arctic conditions. Worse they’d need to occupy the country full of high powered rifles.
Stay tuned. One of these is going to pop, but which one first?

An opinion poll indicated that 85% of Greenlanders do not wish their Arctic island - a semi-autonomous Danish territory - to become a part of the United States, with nearly half saying they see interest by U.S. President Donald Trump as a threat.
The survey by pollster Verian, commissioned by the Danish newspaper Berlingske and Greenlandic daily Sermitsiaq, showed only 6% of Greenlanders are in favour of their island becoming part of the U.S., with 9% undecided.
