4. So what should Greenland and Denmark do?

Nonviolence worked against ICE in Minneapolis because ICE wasn't the US Army trying to take over the state by force; they were a bunch of goons sent to kidnap and disappear immigrants. We dealt with them nonviolently and effectively by following them, recording them, notifying the neighborhood that they were present, protesting everywhere, and making it very difficult for them to function. This is a metropolitan area of more than 3 million people while Greenland's population is about 50,000. What are those people supposed to do if Trump sends US troops? Hold demonstrations and wave homemade cardboard signs? Record them on their phones? Blow whistles? Throw dildos at them? How do you think Denmark should resist? Or should they just capitulate and give up Greenland, effectively telling the rest of the world that they can't fight back if Trump comes for their territory as well?
