In case President Trump was serious about taking over Greenland militarily (maybe he just means to sign a defense treaty providing for Greenland's defense) there should be an off-ramp from the war road to one of peace- this is my thought on that bizarre and unlikely scenario of war.
War with Denmark over Greenland is a terrible prospect. Combatting Danish Viking stealth longships would be tough naval battles to win. Ship to ship battles at sea are grim for boarding parties with giant waves and snow making the fight treacherous. Instead of taking out battle axes and venturing up fjords of Greenland the Trump admin could consider helping Greenland get independence. A special relationship could form wherein citizens of both sovereign nations sign treaties for free trade and rights to visa free freely travel and ability to purchase property and work in their friendly neighbor nation. Many Americans hope to spend time on the beautiful beaches of Greenland.
