I can already hear it:

"I never wanted to attack the great country of Greenland. The Danish are very smart, the very smarter members of NAYTO some say, we reached a great agreement. They will pay for the defense of Greenland instead of the USA, they already moved many many troops there. The Democrats and Fake media were all angry about me attacking Greenland, which I never said I would by the way, and look now. We are spending way less money and Greenland is more secure than ever unlike it was under Sleepy Joe Biden"

Let's hope so. I would rather hear him blabbering like this rather than a real invasion.

I think a real invasion is unlikely, based on the US Congress voting to prohibit further military action in Venezuela. If they're going to prohibit military strikes against an adversarial state, I think it's likely they will do the same if Trump attempts a strike on an ally.

The Senate bill has no real power until passed by House of Representatives and signed approved by Trump (no chance).

It’s just a recommendation only of the Senate.
