For reference, Iceland has a population of only 360k people and has no standing army. It has nevertheless not been militarily attacked and subjugated, because of its alliances, including its NATO membership. If Iceland with its small population and no military can be kept secure through NATO membership, so can Greenland.

Iceland was invaded by the Brits in WWII to keep it out of German hands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Iceland

And NATO did not exist back then.
