He literally just kidnapped the head of state of another country using military force.
Well yes (although I’d argue how much of that was him vs Rubio), but doing so was preceded by a large naval buildup that we don’t see with Greenland. Not to mention that those naval assets are still there extorting Venezuela and another naval deployment of that size would leave INDOPACOM under resourced for maintaining the Island Chain containment on China.
Basically, it’s not actually a serious threat at this point.

Because the MIC would remove him if he threatened their long term interests. It’s not hard.
He has already hurt the MIC interests, European nations have been cancelling orders and ordering elsewhere, and that will continue to build
