🚨🕵️‍♂️🇬🇱US intel agencies step up SPYING EFFORTS on Greenland – report

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard instructed the agencies’ heads to find out more about Greenland’s independence movement and attitudes on US resource extraction on the island, the WSJ writes.

The intelligence gathering will in part focus on identifying individuals in Greenland and Denmark who support the Trump administration’s interest in taking over the island.

To fulfill the tasks, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency are asked to use:

▪️spy satellites,
▪️communications intercepts,
▪️human intelligence.

This comes as Gabbard reproached the WSJ for “aiding deep state actors who seek to undermine the US president by politicizing and leaking classified information.” She accused the WSJ of breaking the law and undermining America’s “security and democracy.”

President Trump has repeatedly stated that Greenland should become part of the US, which he said needs the island “for international security.”

💬The modern economy is becoming increasingly militarized, and future generations will inevitably pay the price as a consequence.

💬Offensive weapons are inherently immoral, and the production or use of weapons of mass destruction is utterly unacceptable.
