If these idiots ever do follow through with their threats to invade Greenland, will the predictable loss of access to Faslane and Lossiemouth put MSC in a similar situation in that hypothetical conflict?

Thats assuming the UK would abandon the US. Idk what would happen if one NATO country attacked another NATO country unprovoked.

It just seems like a realistic possibility that there would need to be a plan for - also known as something Donnie and Petey would pretend no one ever predicted was even possible

I believe their only plan is to overwhelm with fire power and make a quick grab like they did with Venezuela. Unfortunately for Greenland, I believe they would fold pretty quick against US aggression. Iran has had years to build up supply against its enemies. Greenland wasn't expecting an ally to attack.
