The U.S. has — by far — the world’s largest defense budget, spending $948 billion last year. Its armed forces have 1.3 million personnel — some of them currently stationed in Greenland. Denmark, for its part, last year spent $9.9 billion, has only 17,000 soldiers, and most of its heavy land-warfare equipment has been donated to Ukraine.

      I’m just pointing out that there’s no chance in hell it would happen. The EU is entirely dependent on the US, and it’s in no position to do anything if the US starts annexing territory. Europeans made a strategic error assuming that the US was their steadfast ally. The relationship closer to that of a farmer sheltering a goat. It’s not done out of affection.
