US Caught Spying On Greenland To Prepare For Takeover
from Mallen Baker: Faultlines · host Mallen Baker
Trump may have (reluctantly) accepted that Canada is not going to fall into his embrace, but he is going full speed ahead in his quest to get Greenland. This was evident when he sent JD Vance to visit there, and it was evident this week when the Wall Street Journal revealed that US spies have been tasked with covert surveillance on the island. Their mission - to sniff out the independence movement and how easy it would be to influence / win over, and to find any and all individuals whose views align with those of the United States. It all seems like preparation for a concerted operation to influence the population. But has it been scuppered now that it's been uncovered? Let's discuss.
