Darn, I was kind of hoping for a viking raid of Mar-a-Lago followed by some pillaging up and down the gulf coast. Get some pirates back in the Caribbean and rename the Gulf to something even more obnoxious.
Well, the vikings reached the east coast of what is now Canada in around the year 1,000, but they were Norwegians, not Danes. They never got any further than New Brunswick, but who knows, if they visited Florida perhaps they would have stayed...
New Brunswick can do that to ya. You have to be ready for it.
Gulf of calypso (from pirates of the Caribbean)
They could easily move at least a thousand Danes to Florida just by flying in commercial around the country, use private planes to bring in arms, and have the forces needed to seize the governors office and Mar a Lago faster than any resistance could be mounted.
Exfil to local air field, marinas and highways simultaneously with waiting dummy vehicles, some rigged to combust, others just uninvolved duplicates. Meanwhile actually just move them a concrete room under a mall with lots of traffic.
Or, whatever, just spitballing ideas.
Gulf of dumbasses
Gulf means "lack of" so gulf of intelligence makes more sense.
