    Yes the US wins any individual conventional conflict for sure. But putting up a resistance force on Greenland could dissuade the US from trying, as even military win may prove to be a loss, especially if the rest of NATO can take some Americans with them when Greenland falls.

    Simply pulling out of Greenland is a non-option, even if the US would win the battle for Greenland.

      Why does everyone think the USA could win any war?

      They haven’t won a war in decades and have lost against much much weaker countries, like Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan. All lost, embarrassingly.

      If anything, the track record shows that the USA are really terrible at conventional wars and are only good at “hit and run” operations, like the one on Venezuela.

      Can the USA take Greenland overnight? If not, it will be bloody war with no certainty of winning.
