I thought they went after vz because they didn't have the guts to take Greenland due to the danish protection and the disaster attacking a place "under European sphere of influence"?

Venezuela was Trump’s Poland - testing the limits, normalizing the behavior. 100% that shit-for-brains is going to hit somewhere else, probably Sept/Oct if I had to guess. Because who’s gonna stop him?

And ? What's Denmark going to do if the US lands troops in Greenland. What's all of Europe going to do ? Stern words is about it, call the ambassador in and protest? The only caveat in all of this is China.

If a NATO member (the US) attacks another NATO member (Denmark) does Article [whatever] require every other NATO member to fight the US?
Hmm, makes Trump's noises about leaving NATO make slightly more sense.
Though there's a lot of Latin America, so Canada and Greenland are probably bottom of the list.

It is just more easy to use propaganda to take down Maduro
