The Danish government has set up a “night watch” in the foreign ministry, not to keep out the wildlings and White Walkers like the Night’s Watch of Game of Thrones, but rather to monitor Donald Trump’s pronouncements and movements while Copenhagen sleeps.

The night watch starts at 5pm local time each day and at 7am a report is produced and distributed around the Danish government and relevant departments about what was said and took place, the Politiken newspaper reported.

The position is understood to have been introduced in the aftermath of the diplomatic row between Copenhagen and Washington over Greenland this spring, when the US president threatened to take control of the Arctic island. Politiken said the initiative was one of several examples of how Danish diplomacy and the country’s civil service have had to adapt to the new reality of the second Trump administration.

A source close to the foreign office told the Guardian: “It is fair to say that the situation in Greenland and the time difference between Denmark and the United States was quite an important factor introducing this arrangement during the spring.”

1. The world is watching.....

Greenland, Valenzuela, Ukraine, etc.

1920’s all over again, but this time it will be the USA that starts WW3.

The 2nd Great Depression.

18. You might

want to correct "Venezuela".

[Polybius]

24. I immediately thought "Fernando Valenzuela"

2. The US is now Europe's enemy.

5. I bet The Hague wouldn't put up with his legal bs maneuvers.

6. We don't yet know how far the corruption reaches.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

12. That is why the Epstein delays and the rush to Crypto...

... so present and future crimes are untraceable.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Also ongoing bribes and blackmail are not traceable.

The international sex ring was far reaching to the highest levels of world leadership.
The corruption is widespread.

[thought crime]

22. And dangerous.

[Just Jerome]

I assumed they (and others)were already doing this.

Embarrassing, indeed!

8. U.S. continues to try to woo Greenland covertly behind Denmark's back

https://politiken.dk/edition/news/art10634422/Trump-administration-has-attempted-to-arrange-direct-meeting-with-Greenland-without-Denmark

"Greenland’s Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has rejected American attempts to meet without Denmark. This reveals that the U.S. has also tried to drive a wedge between Greenland and Denmark internally, according to an expert.

Trump administration has attempted to arrange direct meeting with Greenland without Denmark

USA has repeatedly attempted to arrange high-level political meetings with Greenland without Denmark, Politiken has learned from multiple sources.

The American inquiries, perceived by central sources as attempts to divide Denmark and Greenland, have never previously been made public. Politiken can reveal these new details based on conversations with sources in Washington, Nuuk, and Copenhagen."...

20. TY... Fuck the Neo Nazi Takeover of

the USA by the Glazed Orange Traitor and Putin.

9. Who had USA and Russia invading Europe on their bingo card?

[FakeNoose]

10. If Chump ever tried doing something like that he'd have a huge revolt from the military

Denmark is smart to be wary though. I'll bet all the NATO countries are getting very careful about sharing information with the US.

[IronLionZion]

11. I wouldn't put it above him to order an invasion of Greenland

We know Russia has interest in Eastern Europe. So they may coordinate

[Solly Mack]

14. He's destroying the country and looting it in the process.

Trump is at war with the American people and almost everyone else.

[roscoeroscoe]

15. Imagine working for a government that doesn't need to operate 24/7

I've pulled years of night shifts for the US military, working around the clock every day of the year, along with boatloads of professionals in the State Department, intelligence, and so on.

What a difference. A peaceful country minding there own business.

[thought crime]

23. A "normal" country.

[ificandream]

16. I'll bet ....

... Denmark isn't the first one to do this. We just haven't heard about the others.

[Sneederbunk]

17. Good idea.

Just in case he declares war on Greenland fishermen in Truth Social.

19. Netherlands set up a night watch a few hundred years ago

[Borogove]

21. This is beyond ridiculous.
