Here’s how Trump’s Greenland gambit will play out

Hear me out. The title of the screenplay is Revenge of the Danes. It's the story of a plucky squadron of frigates and gunboats in the Royal Danish Navy who use a combination of high technology and good old-fashioned ingenuity to sneak up on the US military base on Greenland. The Americans fight back bravely, but in the end they're subdued and the Danes take over. Soon everything goes dark. NORAD is missing its most crucial early warning site and the Pentagon is in chaos. This goes on for 24 hours, along with attempted escapes by the American captives and a romantic subplot between the Danish mission commander and a beautiful American astrophysicist. Finally, Donald Trump gives in to the Danish demands: He appears on television and publicly promises to never bother Greenland again. Everyone celebrates with a nice plate of warm aebleskiver.

In Revenge of the Danes 2: The Pølsa Diktat four nuclear-armed US supercarrier groups descend on Copenhagen. But it turns out the Danes still have a few tricks up their sleeve....

What do you think? Box office boffo?

    Greenland and the Panama Canal are distractions. He's not going to do the heavy lifting required to actually seize them.

    In fact, why the fuck isn't everyone encouraging him to make his moves already? Encourage the convicted felon to make himself look stupid by redirecting the focus of the US military away from China and Russia, towards Greenland and Panama. That alone will be the 25A litmus test to his competency.

      Congress might act against the more nuts actions, but no one will invoke the 25th Amendment. What would happen? He'd fire everyone on the spot and dare anyone to try and enforce it, and that would never be enough for a Republican Congress.

      They'll pivot towards attacking Greenland and the Panama Canal as soon as Hegseth regains consciousness, which may be awhile.
