Justification to use force in taking Greenland

"President Trump has made it well known that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority of the United States," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Fox News.
"The President and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. Military is always an option at the Commander in Chief’s disposal," she added.
In your view, is Greenland strategically important enough for us to take it by force? What would necessitate us to use force to take it?

Full scale invasion by China or Russia.
Short of that, there’ll be no military acquisition of Greenland by the US.

You wouldn't need force.
Just offer each resident a couple million bucks a piece and they'll tell you to come on in.

Trump will not use force to acquire Greenland.
He won't have to.
It is all a part of the negotiation. Have you not figured this out by now?

Absolutely. Unwillingness to accept a real fair offer will necessitate ownership thereof by force.

Trump says things like that so he can sit back and ROTFL while Leftard heads explode. His troll game is strong!

Have Denmark sign a 100 year agreement for usage with a percentage of profits from any future natural resources productions as well as a final takeover upon the expiration date of agreement. Inuits are happy, Denmark saves face and gets income and America gets what Trump views as needed

How long has it been since the United States whipped out its big dick and annexed something by force? 1898? I say lets go for it. 
Trump isn't going to use the military. He says crazy shite like that just to get the left all stirred up, and they fall for it hook, line, and sinker every. single. time.

Surrender or play ball I guess.

I tend to believe this but Venezuela I suppose could make some people think hard.
I personally hope it doesn't happen but from a real story interest (it would be very interesting!), I would be curious to see it happen in real time.

I would if I lived there. I mean, what's Denmark really doing for them?
We'd roll in enough mining operations to make them one of the most wealthy territories on Earth.

Venezuela is a different beast. No comparison to the situation with Greenland.

About 90% of them are inuit. They are a bit of a wildcard when it comes to selling their land.

I haven’t formed an opinion yet, but I heard some speakers on a Youtube interview panel that added some important and interesting points to tbe discussion that I hadn’t heard before.
All of the interviewees brought knowledge to the topic, but the most interesting guest was the last female from the U.S. She starts at 29:15.
She points out the strategic position of Greenland for space defense since it is one of the very few locations can be used for constant or near constant satellite contact over the Northern hemisphere.
She also pointed out the lack of trust the U.S. has in its European “allies” who are becoming less trustworthy to be partners in defense of Greenland and the former NATO countries. She mentioned the Trump Administration’s thoughts on Russiangate and on the Euro resistance to peace negotiations in Ukraine.

UnHerd’s Freddie Sayers speaks with author and Cambridge professor Helen Thompson, economist Pippa Malmgren, and Danish MEP Henrik Dahl about the Trump administration's escalating rhetoric and strategic moves to acquire Greenland. Covering the historical legal underpinnings of Danish sovereignty while analysing modern geopolitical drivers such as the Monroe Doctrine, Arctic militarisation, and the essential role of the region in a new space race for strategic security dominance, they explore how the Greenland situation is symptomatic of a profound breakdown in trust between Washington and Western Europe, with the administration increasingly viewing European leadership as obstructive political rivals in a shifting global order.

As part of a negotiation you never take anything off the table.
Sure Trump likely won’t use the military, but Denmark doesn’t need to know he 100% won’t. That little bit of doubt in their head wondering “maybe he is crazy enough to do it” goes a long way in negotiating. Particularly right after we did what we did in Venezuela

There is no justificación for acting like a Blowhard toward a strategically important NATO Ally

It compares in some ways.
