A couple of seemingly unrelated reports may be signaling an intensifying move from the US towards the Danish Arctic territory of Greenland, sending Euro-Globalists into a panic.
To begin with, Denmark’s Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, came out today (9) to complain that ‘you cannot spy against an ally’ after the WSJ reported that the US has ‘stepped up intelligence gathering on Greenland’.
Associated Press reported:
“Frederiksen’s comments Friday are the latest in the spat between Denmark, Greenland and the United States because Trump seeks to annex the strategic Arctic island. Denmark and Greenland insist that the mineral-rich island is not for sale, while Trump has not ruled out taking it by military force even though Denmark is a NATO ally.”
Yesterday (8), Frederiksen summoned the top American diplomat in the country, Jennifer Hall Godfrey, demanding an explanation following the Wall Street Journal report.
Intelligence agency heads are investigating Greenland’s independence movement, as well as the local sentiment about U.S. resource extraction.
“’Cooperation about defense and deterrence and security in the northern part of Europe is getting more and more important’, Frederiksen said. ‘Of course, you cannot spy against an ally.’
Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen, in comments to Greenland newspaper Sermitsiaq, said the reports of espionage are unacceptable and disrespectful.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb said Friday there is ‘no question’ that the pressure Denmark and Greenland are under ‘doesn’t feel right’.”
Tulsi Gabbard’s office warned that she had already made three ‘criminal referrals’ to the Justice Department over intelligence community leaks.
“’The Wall Street Journal should be ashamed of aiding deep state actors who seek to undermine the President by politicizing and leaking classified information’, Gabbard wrote. ‘They are breaking the law and undermining our nation’s security and democracy. Those who leak classified information will be found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law’.”
But that is not all: a second, significant report deals with military plans for the defense of the Western Hemisphere, and Greenland’s place in it.
CNN reported:
“Trump administration officials are weighing a change that would shift responsibility for US security interests in Greenland to the military command that oversees America’s homeland defense, underscoring the president’s focus on the strategically important territory that he has repeatedly said he wants to acquire, three sources familiar with the deliberations told CNN.”
This change would put Greenland into US Northern Command area of responsibility.
“On its face, the idea of putting Greenland under NORTHCOM authority makes some logical sense given it is part of the North American continent, though politically and culturally, it is associated with Europe and is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark. Some of the discussions pre-date Trump’s return to office this year, the sources said.”
“Still, several US officials expressed wariness about the move because of Trump’s repeated insistence that the US ‘needs’ Greenland and his refusal to rule out military action to obtain it.
[…] Putting Greenland under US Northern Command would at least symbolically split Greenland from Denmark, which would still be overseen by US European Command.”
