Deeply troubling:

Pentagon is readying 1500 troops of The 11th Airborne Division. American press believes they are preparing to go into Minneapolis.

Trump denies this, and I wonder if there is something even more dangerous afoot.

The 11th Airborne is the so-called Arctic Angels of Alaska — the best troops for attacking very cold regions — EXACTLY the troops you would need for an attack on Greenland.

@randahl So the danger of the situation is that attacking Minnesota with the U.S. army now sounds better than attacking a NATO partner. Or the other way around, if you live in the U.S.

In Russia they call this reflexive control. Shaping the conversation by polarizing to opposites. You win left or right.

#EU Please update knowledge on reflexive control.

@randahl and - they're welcome to reopen one of the old bases in Greenland...

Temperature forecast for the next two weeks

Minneapolis between -6 and -25°C

Nuuk between +5 and -14°C

Maybe they are really planned for Minnesota (but that‘s also not good).

Well he would miss them in greenland. A war inside will not just bind a lot of troops some may fight for the other side.

@randahl As I see it, there's really only one way to interpret this and that is that he's preparing an attempt at taking Greenland.
If he does, he will have started WW3.
This would be bad, since it probably means Europe will have to fight a 2-front war, as I have hard time believing Putin will stand idly by when the EU is trying to fight off the US.

@randahl Aside opening options: If I would be some evil Mafia-Nazi dictatorship, I'd try their loyalty first at home and then send them off shore... Fuck these USA!
