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.”

        Maybe deep state means anyone that actually knows what they’re doing. Like how woke now means anyone with empathy.

          I think I’ll let them have the word woke because it was practically meaningless anyway. They’re the “woke right” with their policing of speech, their attempts to rewrite history, etc, etc etc.

          Edit: they do everything they accused the “woke left” of but for real… I saw they were even getting concerts cancelled because the performer wasn’t supportive of the Israeli genocide

            Woke is understanding African American history. It’s not practically meaningless. The far right just uses it as a boogeyman, and none of them know what it means.

              I know what it meant, but it’s been slopped up worse than “fake news”. The right wingers wrapped it up with cancel culture and made it into a fake ass ideology called wokism.

              Now they’re doing all of the shit they claimed wokism was doing and then some. I give them the label woke right because their charictature of “woke” now describes them accurately, and they also hate the label.

      If the deep state that these losers have referred to for decades was even a little bit real, we wouldn’t even be close to the situation we are in now.
