I got an NYT push alert about Taylor Swift getting engaged, but not about the United States spying on Greenland
“Denmark summoned the head of the U.S. Embassy … after allegations emerged that three Americans with close ties to President Trump were running ‘covert influence operations’ in Greenland.”
Is there a Nobel prize for creating a conflict by threatening to seize the territory of a democratic ally?
