US spies stoked separatism in Greenland, Denmark says

[7thKeeper]

Denmark has accused US agents of trying to foment separatism in Greenland, reigniting fears over the territory's future.

Danish officials briefed Danish national broadcaster DR on Wednesday (27 August) that three US citizens linked to the administration had covertly visited the island to recruit backers for a split from Denmark and annexation by the US.

"If anyone thinks they can influence it by creating a 'fifth column' or that type of activity, then it is contrary to the way states cooperate ... It's important for us to speak out very clearly against the United States," Rasmussen told press.

Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen said: "Any interference in internal affairs in the kingdom of Denmark, and Greenlandic democracy, is unacceptable".

"The Americans do not clearly deny that the situation is as DR presents today. And that is, of course, serious," she added.

Other sources for this same news, just picked one. So far the official reaction from the White House has been that Denmark just needs to "calm down". But no denial about this though.

I see the playbook of Putin is now part of the American playbook.

America are definitely the baddies now (the administration, not the people).

Attempting to destabilise an ally is a blatent betrayal.

I would have thought Christians wouldn't want to be a Judas.
