If the US government decided to invade Greenland and ordered Amazon to cut off all network connections to Denmark, would this region still operate for Danish us

If the US government decided to invade Greenland and ordered Amazon to cut off all network connections to Denmark, would this region still operate for Danish users? If it did, and the US ordered Amazon to shut down the region, would it? If the region kept on operating, and the US ordered Amazon to stop providing software updates, security updates, new license keys, etc. - how long could the region keep running?

You can't 'just' invade Greenland. You'd be invading the EU.

  "B....b....but Trump can't do that!" How many times have we heard that? He owns the party, the courts, the legislature, and the guns.

  Then change the parameters slightly and imagine the US using the threat of cutting off Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Apple services to Denmark as incentive to transfer Greenland to US control.

    That would be great if they did that.

      So you understand that an "EU 'governed' [Amazon] region with only EU citizens working on it" isn't actually independent from the US, much less sovereign to either the EU or Denmark, right?
