Nato has 2 other nuclear powers. One of them has a nuclear first strike warning shot policy.

And the other is the 51st state, running American nukes and subs that will only keep working if the U.S. keeps the support contract going.

NGL here, if the U.S. turns hostile, we’re in deep shit.

That's the thing, if the US takes Greenland, they've gone hostile. You may as well kamikaze any US equipment you can't maintain because all that equipment is doing is picking your place in line at the chopping block. For two reasons, if the US takes Greenland, we've given up on international law, and no other country can stop us. And second if we take Greenland, we've gone full totalitarian, and no one here is going to stop us.

It's a point of no return that means the only response had better be the most powerful thing you can manage, because you're only going to get one shot before you'll never have one again.
