You seem to be entirely ignoring comtinual efforts to prevent them from becoming so empowered including murdering their scientists, bribing their leaders, drawing up agreements and them just not pushing it because the natural and expected results is war.

It is reasonable to expect that any given year the US would rather kill them all rather than let them have nukes.

Denmark is a NATO country and Greenland is part of it. As soon as we attack all of NATO is obligated to attack us. They can start non violet by stopping all trade and dumping the dollar crashing our economy.

Even just to the Greenlanders could be a real problem.

People sabatogue blow up poison and casually murder you after giving in.

We can’t murder everyone and the us has been shown to be very intolerant to a few thousand troop deaths not to mention civilian deaths on their side live on TV

It would absolutely be a cluster fuck worse than Iraq

Depends on whose objecting. This arrangement pretty much only works at scale with a combination of religious brainwashing, inequality between and amongst the genders, and a healthy dose of male mortality especially from war.

Inequality among a gender: For instance if bob and Sam both make 70k 5 women aren’t all marrying one or the other in most instances.

Inequality between the genders: Given a complex life path beyond follow in husband’s shadow no matter what or become a parish the chance of instability with more people increases with each member added.

So the first obvious person to object to broad enactment of this idea ought to be women raised to buy into this when it’s not their best option.

Next is society for such groups brainwashing kids.

Then there is the downside of the enabling inequality. Anyone not on the top end of the financial spectrum ought to object to that.

Women ought to object to the idea that they ought to share.

Men not in the top 5-20% ought to object to competing for the remaining women not attached to high status males. Note this is what incels say they are mad about now but there is so much to unpack re their broken brains and it’s just not at this juncture real.

Society should be mad at the very large number of unattached men who normally cause trouble.

Some such societies deal with this by trading women like Pokemon cards and driving off excess men. This doesn’t work without wars to kill them off or somewhere to drive them to.

Basically everyone but a smallish minority of men would be worse off which is why this is non existent in modern functioning society.

There little net effect on society with a small incidence of polygomy just like with lead in the water.

A drill is equipment
