Do you support the US just taking it, regardless of their wishes? It seems they do not want this, so it’s a moot point unless we’re just going to annex it anyway. And then that begs the question - does US imperialism against western allies threaten our national security? Maybe I’m just aggressively misunderstanding the whole thing?

My question is, does all of this make World War III more or less likely?

Does Rob fall into the "Misunderstanding Israel/Palestine" bucket or the "Misunderstanding Greenland" bucket? Can you be in multiple buckets?

I don't think Rob misunderstands Israel/Palestine, I think he and I have different first principles on that topic and to my recollection he has always engaged in open and respectful manner. Solid N&D'er right there.

But Greenland and Canada don't want to be part of the USA, so it's a moot point. Let's all move on.

It would do a lot for economic expansion if we annexed Europe.
