      When the Australian pm tried to close a USA base. He as democratic elected pm got dismissed with the help of CIA involvement. To be fair Australia didn’t get a really bloody coup. But is sends out a message to your “friends”. Trump probably thinks it would be a act of war anyway and a legit reason to sell at home to invade.

      The main argument against the annexation of Greenland right now is that Denmark is already letting the US do more or less what they want militarily. If Denmark pushes them out, they’ll have a much more legitimate reason to annex the island.

      Plus it’s not really going to make a difference whether they have a base there or not if they decide to annex it, it’s not like Denmark is going to be able to mount any kind of opposition to US military.
