Civilized nations like Denmark and Canada have “whiskey wars” instead.
In 1984, Canadian soldiers visited the island and planted a Canadian flag, also leaving a bottle of Canadian whisky.[9] The Danish Minister of Greenland Affairs came to the island himself later the same year with the Danish flag, a bottle of Schnapps, and a letter stating “Welcome to the Danish Island” (Velkommen til den danske ø). The two countries proceeded to take turns planting their flags on the island and exchanging alcoholic beverages. In 2005 a Canadian man and an unknown source on the Danish side also posted advertisements on Google to “promote their claims”.
The minor border dispute was often considered humorous between the two nations, with diplomats displaying good humour. Despite the serious official nature of the matter, the manner in which the conflict was prosecuted was light-hearted, demonstrated by the length of time taken to settle the dispute, if nothing else. Both nations are on friendly terms, and are also founding members of NATO.
Has anyone got the US going to war with Denmark on their 2025 bingo card?

The matter has been settled and now we share a land border
Ah, yes, the battles of Hans(?) island. It’s so great of Canada and Denmark to wage war that way 😄
I’ve got “US goes to war with NATO”, does that count?
Sadly or happily, this is one of the scenariors NATO can cover, even if it’s extremely frustrating to think of the possibility.
On the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean, we have two NATO members - Turkey and Greece, preparing to be ready, mostly against each other.
If something serious should happen between them, NATO will assist the member which didn’t initiate conflict.
As for the next US president… damn that clown. Drawing a rebellious teenager by lottery would have been a safer bet.
I’m still betting on “US shoots itself in the dick while trying to appear badass”.
