Germany has joined other NATO allies like Sweden, Canada, and the Netherlands to send troops to Greenland as Trump intensifies threats to take over the country.
I actually think that would be really good for Trump, if it actually happened. Remember what happened to W’s approval after 9/11, and what kinds of new powers were passed even with the then more functional democracy.
I guess that’s true. In aggressor states “how dare they resist” can be a real dynamic, but the examples I can think of are more from within the military or regime itself, not civilians.

The US wasnt seen as the agressor by the genral public in that instance.
This is much more “fuck around and find out”
Will red America really see it that way? Blue America will still hate Trump, of course.
Probably, its their proud soldiers going of to war… And losing. Or maybe still winning but at a high cost
Military embarrassments is a pretty terminal for regimes, Argentina post Falklands war comes to mind
Either way, pretty sure the red states would like him more if he won with no consequences
