NATO is debating a new missions: Arctic Sentry, which could be launched within weeks. It would address all United States security concerns because NATO's 32 countries, including the united states, would protect the region. The United States plan is for one country to protect the region.
The United States cannot argue that security provided by one country is better than security provided by 32 countries. If the US refuses to cooperate with 31 other countries, and chooses aggression and military force, then the United States government has to admit to everyone that they will wage war to steal land. I hope that is enough to wake up the United States government!
"NATO is seeking a way out of the crisis sparked by threatening US remarks against its ally Denmark.

Virtually all countries want a greater role for the alliance in the Arctic. Several members suggested a new NATO mission in the area. This would significantly boost the defense of the Arctic. And above all, it would be a joint effort, including the United States, which would at least temporarily ease the worst of the tension.
...
To launch such a mission, all 32 allies need the green light. Prime Minister Mark Rutte must first determine whether Trump is in favor of a
joint NATO mission, which could be called the "Arctic Sentry." Two similar missions have already been launched in recent years: the "
Baltic Sentry" in the Baltic Sea and the "
Eastern Sentry " on NATO's eastern border.
The Arctic Sentry could be launched within weeks, and that would help
repair at least some of the damage to the alliance's credibility, they hope. The military alliance owes its credibility and deterrent effect to the unity and solidarity among its allies."
