Sure, go ahead, seize Greenland, there is nothing what Europe can do in retaliation, because USA does not have tens of thousands soldiers in Europe which could quickly become PoWs or at least completely stranded, cut off from resources in hostile territory. Additionally in Europe there are no bases full of equipment completely dependent on European infrastructure and amenities like electricity, water, gas.
Furthermore USA does not have forward warning radars against ICBM launches anywhere in the Europe. Nothing like this.
And it definitelly does not have any major logistical hub, whose seizure would cause inability to service other smaller logistical hubs further to the east...
there is nothing what Europe can do in retaliation
I mean we barely can do anything about our actual enemies, I doubt we could do anything with allies. Or perhaps given how weird everything got... We certainly seem to spend more effort waffling about Trump than Putin.

The EU won't start a war but I doubt they have to.
The US are broke, it's a lot easiery to hit them economically even if it would hurt the EU too.
