Nobody said that:
Trump cited "national security" as the primary driver, claiming Greenland is essential for a U.S. "Golden Dome" missile defense system to counter potential threats from Russia and China. He specifically targeted these eight nations because they had recently deployed symbolic levels of troops to Greenland for Arctic defense training, which he described as a "very dangerous game"
Ok. I hope Congress puts them down again and hear me here.
Joint Resolution of Disapproval: Under the National Emergencies Act, any member of Congress can force a vote on a joint resolution to terminate the national emergency declaration Trump used to justify the tariffs.
By having alternative means to counter potential threats from Russia and China.
You keep the B2 Fleet off nuclear weapons as a Good Will gesture, but equip those with supersonic air to air missiles with a direct Satelltite surveillance link over known Russian and Chinese Intercontinental Rocket silols. They won't mind, doing the same with you and presenting those as their Good Will gesture closed.
This means, ideally for an announced time, have the Stratosphere Bomber Fleet circulate again carrying enough air to air missiles to take down potential rockets. That wont be all of them, but the rest of the fleet may stay in steady alert based on the Defcon rules...
just saying. Defcon 3 means mobilization in 15 minutes and may not jump over Defcon 4, which is increased intelligence watch and strengthened security measures. The system is designed to make sure the other side is not provoked. If that idea is from the same Clan that tried to end the A-10 fleet for high altitude bombing, I want someone to demand a full Defcon 4 investigation, by trying to establish a constant Defcon 3 system increasing the chance of a nuclear escalation under the suspicion of espionage or treason.

PS: You have to ask the right questions to get a fine answer:
In short:
Yes, but only in highly specialized tests. No standard air-to-air missile used in daily combat can shoot down an ICBM, but experimental systems have been used to destroy similar high-altitude targets.
