Disinformation, a way of war making that can be very effective. Way out of my area of expertice but a very good read (and so are the other threads).

Russian disinformation isn’t one tactic. It’s a system of overlapping strategies designed to destabilize, disorient, and divide. It’s called information pollution. And understanding it is step one in resisting it. #InformationWarfare #Disinformation #HybridThreats

Don't mess with archivists. We keep receipts. "The Danish National Archives holds a ground-breaking document (...) With a single stroke of a pen, the USA accepted that the whole of Greenland was Danish territory". jyllands-posten.dk/indland/ECE1...

The US used to have 50 installations in Greenland. 'America has not kept pace in devoting the resources necessary to keep these bases, US troops and the people of Greenland safe' The abandoned bases are littered with garbage, oil pollution. Denmark pays for cleaning. nyheder.tv2.dk/udland/2019-...

The Pituffik air base or Thule air base (or Dundas) is situated in North West Greenland. Very cold and very dark for half the year. As far as I can see Moriusaq was the nearest settlement (bygd), now deserted.
