Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Against USA a military victory is not an option anyway. All we can do is to make it costly for USA. We should actually do that already IMO. Personally I'm boycotting everything American. With the exception of Steam, because Steam supports Linux, and Linux is a part of my independence from USA in so many ways.
What's with Afghanistan and Vietnam?
Those were victories created by rebel armies that had advantages of being very good at hiding, and attack from hidden positions. Where do you imagine a rebel army would hide in Greenland that wouldn't be detectable by infrared?
Greenland is country of 50000 people, Afghanistan has 1000 times that population, and Vietnam 2000 times that population.
Sending military from Europe to Greenland would be very exposed and the American military is way superior at present.
Military action is simply not an option against USA. It would be a fight that would need to be fought on other fronts.
I expect that article 42 is not activated because Greenland is an oversea territory but the EU could draw a line in the sand and expell the US from all bases. That would trigger a war cause the US need them to control Africa and Eurasia. So the EU could fight all over the continent if they wanted.

Good point.
