I dont really know what Europe's redlines for supporting or going along with the US are. France has tried to be more independent for a long time. The UK is more happy to be a lapdog. Germany rarely goes against US interests. I can't say Greenland, of all things, is what would make the EU throw its own weight around - then again, why would the US bother besides sheer egoism of a handful of people on top? They had plenty of great deals already in place, they had bases and the right to make as many as they saw fit, they already had essentially all the benefits of colonization with essentially none of the downsides because Denmark was the paper holder of Greenland's colonization.

A war over Greenland is the stupidest thing I can think of, why shouldn't it be the thing that kicks off WW3 in this late stage of stupid capitalism. Regardless, the Greenlandic people should have their own independence and autonomy and as far as I know theyre majority in support of independence so this should all be a moot point anyway

Well, the United States unilaterally annexing a Western European country's territory is a fairly brazen shattering of any illusions Europe still has of Westphalian sovereignty.

Euros be damned, hopefully it wakes the CPC up to this particular disillusionment.
