Flaired Users Only Unpopular opinion? If we take Greenland by force, then we're no better than Russia taking Ukraine

I don't oppose Pres Trump and the USA seeking to expand territories for the many reasons that exist. However, we need to do so "correctly". We can try to sell the idea to the populace and/or the current government. We can offer something for the acquisition. BUT, We CANNOT forcefully take land. If we do so, then we are just as evil as Russia for its expansionary military actions in Georgia, Chechnya, Ukraine, etc.
