“I’m not sure they’d be there for us, if we gave them the call,” President Trump says, of our NATO allies.
NATO invoked Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty for the first and only time in its history after September 11.

Europe's far right and populists distance themselves from Trump over Greenland
European far-right and populist parties that once cheered on Donald Trump and gained in standing through his praise are now distancing themselves from the U.S. president over his military incursion into Venezuela and bid for Greenland.

This has been true throughout all the Greenland insanity, and anyone who knew anything knew it at the start of all this.
The US has reduced its presence in Greenland to a single base and less than 200 troops.
If Russia were an imminent threat, Washington could simply deploy more forces tomorrow under the existing defense treaty.
Trump is just inventing a security crisis to justify an annexation
