Donald Trump has ordered U.S. #special #forces commanders to draw up a 💥plan for the invasion of Greenland
-- but is being resisted by senior military figures.

Sources say that the policy 'hawks' around the US President,
led by political adviser #Stephen #Miller, have been so ⚠️emboldened by the 'success' of the operation to capture Venezuela's leader Nicolas Maduro
that they want to move quickly to seize the island before Russia or China makes a move.

British diplomats believe that Trump is also motivated by a desire to ⭐️ #distract #American #voters from the performance of the US economy before the mid-term elections later this year,
after which he could lose control of Congress to the Democrats.

According to sources, Trump has asked the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to prepare the invasion plan,
✅ but it is being resisted by the joint chiefs of staff on the grounds that it would be #illegal
- and would not be supported by Congress.

One source said: 💥'They have tried to #distract #Trump by talking about less controversial measures,
such as intercepting Russian 'ghost' ships
- a clandestine network of hundreds of vessels operated by Moscow to evade Western sanctions
- 🔥or launching a strike on Iran.'

Diplomats have war-gamed what they describe as an 'escalatory scenario' under which Trump uses force or 'political coercion' to sever Greenland's links to Denmark.

One diplomatic cable describes the 'worst-case' scenario as leading to ⚠️'the destruction of Nato from the inside'.
It adds: 👉'Some European officials suspect this is the #real #aim of the hardline MAGA faction around Trump.

Since Congress would not allow Trump to exit Nato, occupying Greenland could force the Europeans to abandon Nato.
If Trump wants to end Nato, this might be the most convenient way to do it.'

What with all the #weaving and #dodging going on as Trump tries distraction after distraction, desperately trying to deflect attention from his long-term friendship with Epstein, and the various related allegations, like the women who have stated Trump groped them as minors when presented to him by Epstein, it seems like no-one has noticed the good that has come out of this mess.

If you listen carefully, you can actually hear Melania re-negotiating her pre-nup again! At least someone is benefiting.

A psychopathic president.

‘Longwell estimated that Trump might be trying to get people to look in a different direction after he backed down on his trade war.
"…like a guy with a laser pointer and the media is a bunch of cats. Is he trying to get people to chase things so they stop talking about the fact that he caved and did a total about-face on the tariffs after telling us for days that he wasn't going to do a pause? And now he's suddenly pausing because the world economy is collapsing. Is he doing this as a distraction?"
She then noted that targeting people like this can scare others away from leaking information to the public.
"And what he's trying to do here, though, is to make people afraid of speaking out against him.

‘Trump is trying to intimidate his staff from speaking out during this administration, she continued

…I mean, this is some of the most insane authoritarian stuff we've seen out of him."
