People laugh it off but Trump's Greenland obsession is absolutely brilliant in multiple ways at once. Consider the legitimization of Putin (and not just in Ukraine either), the relevance to oil, the menace to NATO, and the destabilization worldwide of any country threatened by a dominant neighbor - all in one fell swoop of media distraction and sensationalism, while feeding slobbery hunks of raw red meat to the base. He may be crazy but he's crazy like a fox.
Resistance does not have to look like frontal assault. You might last longer and do more good by lying low. Resistance can look like feigned ineptitude, slow-walking, quiet sabotage, demoralization, or doing nothing at all. The below link is part of the heroic story of Tulle, in la Corrèze, during WW2. That is real heroism, not the glam stuff of cinema. They hanged their sons and fathers from the balconies. So they ripped off the balconies, and kept sabotaging the Reich.
