      As for the US, the headline does mention Greenland and the article includes

      Denmark’s military changes also come in the wake of growing political tensions with the U.S. over control of Greenland, a Danish territory.

      And “why Russia tensions?” Probably because Russia is currently waging a war of territorial expansion and several NATO members in the Nordics and Baltics could be next.

      Regarding potential conflict with Russia, Denmark’s Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen said in February, "Within two years, Russia could pose a credible threat to one or several NATO-countries if NATO does not build up its own military power in the same rate as Russia.

      Didn’t Putin recently make noise over America annexing Greenland? He would be happy with splitting it between them, however.

      Fighting America would be as much posturing as fighting, with most fighting being an insurgency type fight. Russia is more likely to be blunt about it, but also more viable to repel. Particularly if the rest of NATO is willing to respond to it.
