... U.S. intelligence agencies were told last week to step up their spying efforts related to Greenland ...

Why?


From the cited article ...

... Last week, agencies including the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, and National Security Agency received a "collection emphasis message" about Greenland-related intelligence from officials under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing two people familiar with the effort.

The intelligence gathering reportedly will focus in part on identifying individuals in Greenland and Denmark who support the Trump administration's interest in taking over the island. ...

Civilians may not be aware of it, but the US and Danish intelligence services were extremely tight for years, long before Trumpf. Putin knows this, so this is another reason why he wants Trumpf to keep threatening a takeover of Greenland: cause a rift between intelligence partners and NATO allies. For Trumpf, he wants his oligarch buddies to get mineral deals out of Greenland. EVs, computers, Smartphones, all need rare earths. Extracting them from Africa becomes costly, as well as a public relations and legal nightmare because of the slave labor that digs them up. This is why the Apple CEO donated $1m to Trumpf's inaugural ball.

Underpopulated Greenland is thawing and no slave labor is required. DOD already has a defense plan for Greenland as part of NATO, but Trumpf can use those same plans to stage a military exercise in Greenland and then keep the US soldiers unhappily there. Trumpf already signaled the US won't be participating in NATO exercises in 2026.

Space Base Pituffik would be one of the LZs in Greenland and 10th Mountain Division would be the spearhead. This sounds preposterous and unlikely, but members of the Trumpf junta have been thinking about this long before me, as you could see by the DNI's memo to collect intelligence on Greenland.

Trump is the greatest single anti-American asset in the arsenal of those wishing this country ill to the point of its destruction.

Well, our attacking Greenland would at once rupture NATO, which is one of Putin's major goals, so there is that for Putin's good buddy in the White House.

Yeah! He should continue using tax dollars for transition surgery/meds and free crack pipes and drug needles. That Brandon was such a wise spender.

If Trump subverts, invades, or annexes the territory of a nation we are at peace with then it's going to be really hard to avoid those Hitler comparisons, isn't it.

That will also cast his national registry of Jews and autistic people in a new light, won't it?
