The Incredible Shrinking President

No one could have seen it coming. And another thing: We assumed he meant a Navy hospital ship. His “envoy” seems to think it’s a volunteer effort and a “Cajun Navy” response is coming. 
Aaja Chemnitz after Trump’s latest statement: “It has gone far, far too far”

The Greenlandic member of the Danish Parliament, Aaja Chemnitz (IA), yesterday clearly distanced herself from Donald Trump’s latest plan to send a hospital ship to Greenland.

Now she comes with yet another appeal on her Facebook profile.

“We live in a crazy time. Representatives from the opposition in Greenlandic politics are talking with MAGA people, and suddenly it is Naalakkersuisut (Greenland’s government, ed.) that must feel ashamed. It is simply a big NO from me to that kind of destruction of our democracy,” she writes and emphasizes:

“It has gone far, far too far, and we must be careful not to become part of their circus and manipulation.”

She further encourages Greenlanders to relate critically to what they “hear on social media.”

When does reality set in? When does anybody not an internet pundit ask what the fuck Trump was talking about?
The party Siumut is now raising a number of questions to Naalakkersuisut (the Government of Greenland) regarding the case of the American submarine that was in Greenlandic waters near Nuuk on Saturday.

In an open letter, the party’s member of Inatsisartut (Greenland’s parliament) Foreign and Security Policy Committee, Erik Jensen, states that the party has submitted questions about the matter to Naalakkersuisut out of concern for public safety and reassurance.

Among other things, the party wants to know whether the submarine in question is operating alone or if there are more, what it is carrying, and for what purpose it is sailing along Greenland’s coast.

Siumut also wants to know whether the Arctic Command (AKO) was informed in advance about the submarine’s voyage and whether sufficient monitoring is being conducted of other submarines navigating near Greenland.

Greenland is more concerned about this than we are. That’s not exactly reassuring.
