Olivia Troye -The Greenland Plot: It Sounds Like a Bad Movie
It sounds like the plot of a bad Hollywood movie: a U.S. president secretly dispatches his loyalists to a sparsely populated Arctic island, stirring up secessionist movements to weaken an ally and grab the land for himself. Except this isnt Netflix, its the Trump administration in 2025, and the ally being betrayed is Denmark.
When Denmark summoned the top U.S. diplomat this week, it wasnt over tariffs, trade, or a diplomatic misunderstanding. It was because three people tied to Donald Trump were reportedly running covert influence operations in Greenland, compiling lists of locals sympathetic to Trumps push for secession and destabilizing Denmark from within.
Think about that: a sitting U.S. president effectively encouraging a secessionist movement inside an allied democracy. If Russia or China tried to stir up a secessionist movement in Puerto Rico, wed call it an act of aggression. If they did it in Texas, wed call it war. When Trump does it to Denmark, the State Department shrugs and says, We have no comment on the actions of private U.S. citizens.
Oh really? Has anyone met Lev Parnas , former Trump loyalist who ran back-channel foreign influence ops in Ukraine? Perhaps now would be the perfect time to screen From Russia with Lev. (Lev, we need to chat
)
