The U.S. has — by far — the world’s largest defense budget, spending $948 billion last year. Its armed forces have 1.3 million personnel — some of them currently stationed in Greenland. Denmark, for its part, last year spent $9.9 billion, has only 17,000 soldiers, and most of its heavy land-warfare equipment has been donated to Ukraine.
Dunno, if the glorious US counterinvasion of the Aleuten islands in WW2 is any indication then it will be among the most hilarious wars at least. The US is not too good with arctic islands.
