I don't want to give the fascists too much credit, but is Greenland a distraction from Ukraine? Perhaps it is believed a diversion of forces to head off an imaginary invasion of Greenland will lessen the volume and rate of EU support to the eastern front?

I'm sure these 16 troops and their respective equipment were going to turn the tides of the war in ukraine ๐Ÿ˜… not mentioning that the US is still the primary benefactor of Ukraine.

I'd sooner think a distraction from Venezuela. If everyone is outraged about something that might (and then doesn't) happen, then there's less discourse around real crimes.
