In the past we(the USA} have been quite ambivalent on supporting Danish bases and security agendas on Greenland. Station Nord is a great example of tepid and shrinking support of the Danes acting to secure Thule and the radar station there. Where land patrols and watching sea approaches are key.

Additionally USA forces have been particularly bad at Arctic missions. Compared to the Nordics and Greenlanders in particular. USA personal literally saved by Greenlanders and their derided dogsleds in the past.

I have Inuit Family on Greenland. And I will tell you they are an industrious lot. With a labor participation nearly identical to the USA figures. We can work with them. No need for bullying is required.

I can see a USMC NSM detatchment working just fine with NATO NASM units along the East Coast of Greenland. Just ask.
