This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

No, they made the US agree to join a workgroup to figure out how to proceed. This is a political tool we have seen tons of times in internal affairs when the politicians want to buy time, delay, and then 2-5 years later receive a report of the findings they will subsequently ignore. Highly effective.
In other words, Denmark defeated the military might of the US with diplomatic bureaucracy.
If it is a well known tactic then it is likely a facade. My guess is both sides are making preparations for violence.
That's not a bet, that's a fact. There's a multi national force on it's way to Greenland to put themselves in the way so even if NATO or the un fail to intervene the US would be picking a fight with a half dozen well armed nations.
