Why invade? The Navy would just form a blockade to prevent Chinese ships from approaching if it ever came to that.

China has zero force projection capability outside of Asia. Their is no chance they are pulling off an invasion of Greenland anytime in the foreseeable future.

Also we already have an Air Force base in Greenland--there is no realastic scenario where a US invasion is necessary or even useful.

"Nope we aren't leaving. Any attempt to force us to leave will be seen as a hostile action, as will any attempt to establish a Chinese military presence."

That's all it takes.
