That can't be accurate. Certainly he is being mocked offline as well.

Reports now say CBP, not ICE, which is probably why it's passive now because several news organizations misreported it initially.

I'm no expert either, so definitely take everything I say with a grain of salt. I think those conflicts were around territorial disputes between Turkey and Greece, probably exacerbated on by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which really fucked Turkey and helped Greece.

Anyway, an invasion of Greenland seems like a clear cut case to invoke article 5 of the treaty. Obviously the command infrastructure in US hands, not to mention US bases on NATO soil (including Greenland), would create a lot of problems that would need to be sorted out first.

Denmark/Greenland is already in NATO, which is a military alliance with a defenc pact of 31 countries (excluding the invading United States, of course). Leaving Denmark would likely mean leaving NATO, which does not seem like a good move.

Please don't forget about us in Canada.

Time to find out if the North Atlantic Treaty is worth the paper it is printed on.

Not to mention that SCOTUS would never allow it.
