The US is very good at turning a functional state into anarchy, razed buildings and infrastructure, and lots of death. It doesn’t really matter if the US can pacify Denmark after its population gets decimated. It’s pure posturing to pretend any government in the EU or NATO countries will do anything to resist.

Do you really think NATO wouldn't defend a NATO country being invaded? It isn't USA they are fighting against, it is just Trump, and that war wouldn't continue for many days before the congress decides to end it since USA doesn't want it. So I don't doubt NATO would go to defend Denmark there, since they know USA would remove Trump if they did.

You say NATO defends etc but NATO is fully lead and controlled by the US. Without US permission NATO does not act. And in all likelihood, NATO cannot act without US approval since the US very likely has remote shutdown capabilities for almost every major weapon that NATO countries can deploy.

Joining NATO means you show the US all of your military secrets and basically embed your military into the US military structure.
