My gut feeling is that it won't happen.
It will antagonise not only Denmark, but the whole of Europe - govs & people - to a point where USA might find it's all alone in the world.
That'll be the beginning of the end for the empire.

I think the US might be misleading itself if it doesn't realize that it already is. We still care for the people, but the government of the US has truly shown that it cannot be an ally today, and the rest of the world already realize this, seems the US is the last to understand it.
EU restarted domestic production of millitary equipment.
Germany is making military draft mandatory again.
Noone believes US will help like they did before (we know it was a two way deal but still..)
The moment US left EU to Russia they are now all alone. NATO is just a name now.
No matter what, let's not forget Ukraine is being attacked by evil Russia.
All those things have lots of precedent for the USA.

Other than probably hundreds of similar scenarios over the past 250 years or so, sure.
The US can probably go a lot further than they currently have, before a meaningful coalition of meaningful countries will do anything significant —even just economically or diplomatically— against them in return.
Kidnapping Maduro doesn't really ensure his name in the history books. But if he annexes Greenland and/or Canada, then he's the next Jefferson or Jackson.
He might even rename Greenland+Canada to Trumpland.
I genuinely think this one got them exactly what they wanted. They felt like manly men doing manly men things. Figuratively speaking, they got off on it, stroke egos, felt the excitement of watching the attack and feeling like being the ones who made it.
All those involved are very emotional guys. Not emotional as in liking romance, but emotional as in "driven by feelings and emotions". This made them feel good and manly.
Or the US. All he cares about is himself.
Indeed. That's why I said he's desperate to be remembered. For something.
There's also Maduro's dancing which seems to have been a thing oddly enough https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360920843/maduros-dancing...
