The problem is it’s Danish, do we declare war on Denmark and have Americas most ridiculous, and probably shortest, war ever?

Second - world precedent. Doing stuff like this actually negatively affects Americas dominance because as we go, so does the world. We kind of blew up our own order. What’s to stop China from going “this is our Monroe Doctrine? Get out of our back yard. We don’t want you in the Philippines and Japan anymore. Leave or we’ll destroy your bases” or Putin thinking “wait, I can kidnap people?”

I mean, if they thought they could back it up militarily they would already have said exactly this. They're not letting us pen them in out of a sense of respect for a democratic world order.
