The Pentagon has announced that 1,500 2,000 US active duty soldiers are now on alert for deployment to Minnesota.
I doubt it. These troops are coming from Fort Wainwright, ALASKA these are trained and equipped for Arctic operations. I suspect they will be deployed to Pituffik Space Base (formerly Thule Air Base) as the initial phase of the US war on Greenland and Denmark.
No doubt Putin and Xi are delighted to see Trump tearing NATO apart.
Yesterday, Trump essentially said: "We will seize Greenland no matter what it takes and no one can stop us."

The specifically trained Arctic force is going to Greenland. Triggered by the 50 or so NATO troops that landed there last week

Repugs are stirring a wee bit in revolt against Chump over the issue too.
EU emergency meeting today to discuss tariffs among other things.
Starmer is a hard no on any takeover of Greenland. Gives the EU more backbone in their cause.
