It’s the sentiment. It changes everything. The world generally stopped annexing countries after WW2 because the US set the rules. Now that the US is annexing countries again, then other countries will consider as well. Obviously, China will take Taiwan in this case. But what’s really stopping China from annexing Vietnam? Japan next? SK? They can claim the same “security need” that the US is claiming for Greenland. If the US does this, the next 100 years will be similar to the 1800s in terms of expansion by super powers.
