The Problem of Evil is its Banality
A universe that would look at prominent evolutionary biologists and take away the charming and affable baseball fan Steven Jay Gould and leave us trapped in here with the increasingly cranky and unpleasant Richard Dawkins is not one that is run by a benevolent deity.

Lunatics running the asylum.
This guy graduated from the University of Florida and went on to obtain a Juris Doctor sheepskin from the same institution. He is on his fourth term as a Representative from Florida's 17th District.
So either he knows what contrails are and is saying stuff like this because he thinks his constituents are smoothbrained yahoos and will eat this stuff up, or else the University of Florida is handing out diplomas to smoothbrained yahoos who don't know what contrails are.
Neither of those things is really very good.

Projection
It is possible to believe both that military action against Greenland is very unlikely and also that this administration’s unhinged obsession with it has already done serious long term damage to relations with European nations that will take generations to repair.
We obviously don't think it's vital to our national security or else we wouldn't have closed all the bases we used to have there.
I would also point out that ratified treaties, such as the North Atlantic Treaty, have the force of law in the US.
So any order of hostilities against Danish territory is prima facie, de facto and de jure, cut and dried, no two ways around it and any way you slice it, definitionally an illegal order.

(Meanwhile, if you checked Marco Rubio's browser search history, I guarantee you'd find "map projection that makes cuba look huge".)

Butt wait, there's more!
The Department of Defense has requested that a Canadian sex toy vendor stop fulfilling orders placed by U.S. service members stationed in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Hand to God this is a thing that happened.
