Against USA a military victory is not an option anyway. All we can do is to make it costly for USA. We should actually do that already IMO. Personally I’m boycotting everything American. With the exception of Steam, because Steam supports Linux, and Linux is a part of my independence from USA in so many ways.
Those were victories created by rebel armies that had advantages of being very good at hiding, and attack from hidden positions. Where do you imagine a rebel army would hide in Greenland that wouldn’t be detectable by infrared?
Greenland is country of 50000 people, Afghanistan has 1000 times that population, and Vietnam 2000 times that population.
Sending military from Europe to Greenland would be very exposed and the American military is way superior at present.
Military action is simply not an option against USA. It would be a fight that would need to be fought on other fronts.
I expect that article 42 is not activated because Greenland is an oversea territory but the EU could draw a line in the sand and expell the US from all bases. That would trigger a war cause the US need them to control Africa and Eurasia. So the EU could fight all over the continent if they wanted.
