The U.S. is increasing its espionage in Greenland as part of Donald Trump’s campaign to take control of the island.
Donald Trump’s quest to conquer Greenland is becoming increasingly serious.
The intelligence community directed intelligence agency chiefs to conduct a spy campaign on the Denmark-controlled island territory last week, issuing a “collection emphasis message” for information pertaining to Greenland’s independence movement, as well as an examination of local attitudes regarding “American resource extraction,” reported The Wall Street Journal. It also tasked agencies to identify individuals living in Greenland and Denmark who support the Trump administration’s goals for the island.
Gabbard was not happy to hear that the news of the initiative had gotten out. “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 told the Journal in a statement. “They are breaking the law and undermining our nation’s security and democracy.”
If the US strikes any NATO member, it’s an automatic declaration of war against the aggressor state, which in this case would be the US, under Article 5 of the NATO treaty.
If it doesn’t result in an automatic declaration, that means NATO has failed, and isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. It’s a mutual defense treaty.
