How many "ppls" did Afghanistan deploy, long-term, against TWO different superpowers, with only discreet, behind-the-scenes support from other nations?
Invasion and control of another country that has more than paleolithic technology is pretty damned hard. Harder than anyone who attempst it ever guesses. ("They will welcome us as liberators!" - the stupidest thing ever said by a pre-Trump POTUS.)
It's even harder if a majority of the invading population hates the idea, and a significant part of the military doubt the constitutionality of their orders.
Oh, and two nuclear powers would be openly defending Greenland.
It would be cheaper and more popular to pile $9B in bills on the National Mall and set them ablaze.
