Danish autonomous territory. Occupied by the United States on 19 January 2026.
The President asks the Secretary of Defense how the invasion of Greenland is coming along. There is no invasion of Greenland. Within four sentences there is a directive to build one, to leave NATO, and to sabotage the aircraft America has already sold to Europe.
Forty-two pages, three phases, and one strategic risk annex warning that a kinetic assault on a founding ally compromises every American base in Europe.
Ospreys touch down at Kangerlussuaq at 17:30 UTC and an amphibious insertion takes the port at Nuuk. Danish Arctic Command offers no lethal resistance under cabinet orders to document rather than die.
