Apparently the entire thing started when Tom Cotton’s office received a letter with a Denmark government letterhead, from a Danish politician who claimed he represented Greenland separatist group, and that there was the support among the Greenland population to secede from Denmark, and align with the US. They were asking for money to fund a referendum for their secession.
The Danish Security and Intelligence Service ultimately concluded in 2022 that the 2019 letter was forged, with Russia the likely culprit. An intelligence report from Denmark assessed that Moscow wanted to sow discord between Denmark, the U.S. and Greenland.
It turns out that the letterhead was phony, there is no such politician, and there is no viable Greenland separatist movement beyond the usual barstool government critics.
So Cotton was easily conned, and took it to HitlerPig, who was just as easily conned, and fully adopted the idea. Now they are still pursuing it, despite knowing it was a forgery.
Basically, its just more MAGA stupidity, driven by Putin.
I really don’t think so. Putin will not give the US such a big win in the Arctic. The point about nationalism is that you can be friends with another nationalist leader, but only up to a point when there is some perceived divergence of interest. Therefore you cannot have a long term alliance between them. Putin understands this well (even if Trump does not).
Tell me again that Greenland was Trump’s idea and not Putin’s?

That’s… A really good question…
