Multiple European nations have already sent members of their militaries to Greenland. Its not a large defense force, but it sends a very clear message that an attack on Greenland is an attack on Europe.
While the US has massive military power, they can’t stand in isolation. So the more support Europe shows, the less likely is leadership is to risk an attack that would likely jeopardize military treaties, trade agreements, and so much more.
The whole Greenland gambit is pretty reliant on the Danes caving and handing it over, and it’s pretty clear they have no interest in doing that.
I put “US troops withdraw from Ramstein while under fire by the Bundeswehr” on my bingo card early last year and didn’t expect my cynicism to be that accurate
I realise what community I’m in, so believe me I say this with respect… I hope Europe does not underestimate how stupid Donald Trump is and how loyal his followers are. He’s also pushing 80. He doesn’t care what state the US is in after he’s gone. And his followers think he’ll live forever.

Also the US would lose strategic military bases ein Europe.

So you are the culprit! Never use magic realification paper when designing a cynical bingo board, please.
Starting a war in Europe isn’t going to end well. It will rip USA and Europe to easily conquerable pieces and end super power era of USA.
