Well yes (although I'd argue how much of that was him vs Rubio), but doing so was preceded by a large naval buildup that we don't see with Greenland. Not to mention that those naval assets are still there extorting Venezuela and another naval deployment of that size would leave INDOPACOM under resourced for maintaining the Island Chain containment on China.
Basically, it's not actually a serious threat at this point.
Yet.
Greenland is much less defended than Venezuela.
What makes you think the shitwit supreme cares about long-term US strategic interests like containment of China?
Nuuk has a population of 20000, and more than 1/3 of all people in Greenland live there. How much of a naval buildup do you need to take a town of this size?
I'm not sure he even has to bother about taking Nuuk. If he just declared Greenland being a US-territory and started to build a mine somewhere - would Greenland, Denmark or the rest of NATO have the capability to deny this?
