Four people have been charged by Norwegian police with forgery and issuing illegal insurance papers to Russia’s shadow fleet. Danwatch and NRK can now reveal how an extensive Russian scam is fooling Western authorities.
Greenland prime minister says US will not get Greenland
> #Greenland, a huge, resource-rich island in the Atlantic, is a self-governing territory of #Denmark, a #NATO ally of the United States. Trump wants to annex the territory, claiming it’s needed for national security purposes.
> “President Trump says that the United States ‘will get Greenland.’ Let me be clear: The United States will not get it. We do not belong to anyone else. We decide our own future,”

Denmark considered US one of its closest allies. Now many Danes are refusing to buy American. “…a protest against US President Donald Trump & …his obsessive determination to take over #Greenland, an autonomous territory that is part of the Kingdom of #Denmark. Tens of thousands of Danes have joined a Facebook group dedicated to sharing advice about how to avoid American-made products and instead buy local.”

@kim_harding God bless, you, #Denmark, the whole world is cheering you on! 
Yes.... But is the US still a Partner of the EU and UK? That what the USA is doing with it's allies is not showing they still see it that way. The USA is treating there partners Canada and EU so badly, it looks more like enemies. Good job #denmark

@ErikJonker @geopolitics People can't explain to #Vance or #Trump with long texts of old documents or complicated words - their brains are too simple for that, an amoeba has more brain power.
The easiest way to help them understand is that #Denmark and #Greenland send each an official letter just saying:
Dear Messrs,
Fuck off!.
Best regards,
Greenland/Denmark
Jon Meacham on 11th Hour re JD Vance's trip to #Greenland & Trump's reiterated intention to seize it from #Denmark:
The lesson of the 20th Century is that democracies don't fight one another. They trade and cooperate with each other.
You can't just take what you want. [Implication: that way be dragons]
Trump should announce he will give a live television broadcast to the nation, where he will deliver a major announcement, without saying what it will be.
Countries around the world, which have taken advantage of America for years, will cower in fear that Trump might announce they will be invaded by the great power of the American military.

“An American is about ten times more likely to be incarcerated than a Dane. Danes have access to universal and essentially free health care… Danes on average live four years longer than Americans. In Denmark university education is free… Danish parents share a year of paid parental leave. In the US, one parent might get twelve weeks of unpaid leave. … American children are about twice as likely as Danish children to die before the age of five..”

“The comparison between life in the United States and life in Denmark is not just polemical. Musk-Trump treat Europe as though it were some decadent abyss… But Europe is not only home to our traditional allies; it is an enviable zone of democracy, wealth and prosperity with which it benefits us to have good relations, and from which we can sometimes learn.”

“Hans Christian Andersen told the unforgettable tale of the naked emperor. In Greenland what we saw was American imperialism with no clothes. Naked and vain.”

“As with everything Musk-Trump does, however, the cui bono question about imperialism in Greenland is easy to answer: Russia benefits. Putin cannot contain his delight with American imperialism over Greenland. In generating artificial crises in relations with both Denmark and Canada, …the Trump people cut America loose from security gains and create a chaos in which Russia benefits.”

“We really do have a problem taking responsibility. The United States has fallen well behind its allies and its rivals in the Arctic, in part because members of Vance’s political party denied for decades the reality of global warming…”

“There are only a couple hundred Americans at Pituffik where once there were ten thousand; there is only that one US base on the island [Greenland] where once there were a dozen; but that is American policy, not Denmark’s fault.”

“Greenland, Denmark, and the United States have been enmeshed in complex and effective security arrangements…for the better part of a century. Arctic security, an issue discovered by Trump and Vance very recently, was a preoccuption for decades during and after the cold war.”
