Trump administration using Fox News to spread Greenland annexation propaganda | Possibly getting MAGA public ready to approve of it

They'd probably side with Denmark, but what that would amount to in practice is quite uncertain. They would be under a good deal of pressure not to further aggravate the situation and to let it go while making token gestures of solidarity. I don't share people's faith here that they'd fight the USA.
There "acceptable loss" calculations being made by all parties atm.

There have been historical reasons for the US to eye Greenland, mostly related to cold war defense strategies. It’s confusing that a Trump would want to realize these thoughts when it would be a offense to his handler in moscow. Suggests that these historical reasons are not his motivation.
There is also the theory that Silicon Valley billionaires want it to create a techno libertarian city project

Um....there was a reason why we did what we did to Japan. It helped to stop WWII. Oh and Pearl Harbor was a thing too.
Greenland has done nothing other than exist and have some rare earth materials on it. How do these Fox News hosts even sleep at night spouting this nonsense?
They knew Japan would surrender before they dropped the bombs. They dropped them anyway.

"And being friendly to the world is what got us in this mess. We're not in high school. We don't need friends. Every country puts their interest first. And when our interests align, we can do business. And when they don't, that's life. If we have to burn down a few bridges with Denmark to take Greenland, we're big boys. We dropped A-bombs on Japan, and now they're our top ally in the Pacific. We may have to burn a bridge to build a big beautiful new one to the next generation. America's not handcuffed by history. Trump knows what we need."
Make America Go Away

Trump's administration is really speedrunning fascism. When things inevitably start crumbling, war is the logical next step. Usually this takes a while, but under Trump you might see US troops invading democratic countries within months.
