Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's why I made the recommendation in the paragraph after that. If they start murdering Greenlanders after the drill, and only the drill, is blown up, that's likely to get Europe to call foul.

Like Europe called a foul in Gaza?

The difference between Gaza and Greenland is that Greenland is a European dependency (or colony if you prefer). This shouldn't make a difference, of course, but it does.

I'll grant you that if this drilling is to be on indigenous-owned land, there's a possibility that there might be an unpleasant echo of Palestine.

It's all going to come down to how far Denmark are willing to put up with Trump.
