Lol what world do you live in? In Sweden killing political adversaries? I've lived in Sweden winter (Stockholm 2 months) and summer (1 month) and made many friends. None, have talked about killing political coupes like you say. I'm actually pro US gaining controller of Greenland (it would open up enormous economic tailwinds)... Business.. Actual property rights, instead of government owned land with leases. US owning Greenland would be a crazy boom to their economy. I for one, would buy land.

Killing coup-plotters and their associates would happen immediately as soon as anyone began to execute a coup.

Lots of people have access to weapons (mostly for hunting, but still) and lots of people have done their mandatory military service and know that coups are illegal. They would certainly fight.

My point is that inviting that-- i.e. creating the situation where people have to fight and kill the coup plotters and anyone who sides with them, is a very extreme thing where killing only the plotters themselves is the mildest outcome.

This would happen as soon as a government said 'we're blocking the riksdag from meeting'. No one in Sweden from any political party in the Riksdag would ever do that though, it's of course unthinkable.

I don't fully get what you're saying... But if you think a few thousand farmers in Greenland will fend off Delta force soldiers, I suggested you rethink your strategy. 20 Delta force took down hundreds of soldiers in Venezuela (with 0 loss of US soldier life), you think farmers have any chance?
