But I really don't think anyone will do much more than the equivalent of "thoughts and prayers", "angry letters" and "heated speeches". So far, it seems like European leaders prefer having a piece of paper (NATO), giving them the illusion of security rather than having actual security.

4. Denmark hasn't fulfilled NATO's article 3, thus article 5 doesn't apply
5. Greenland wants independence anyway, so ...

What kind of world is it where yes minister is more or less 100% spot on as to what is going on with Greenland.

"confines" US troop to their bases? blocks US planes to enter these bases? What if EU countries go "nuclear" on economic sanctions on the US?
The list of unknowns goes on and on. A US invasion of Greenland is a very high risk endeavor for Trump.
