Short story, I think it is about blocking the Chinese, watching Russians and reminding the Dems about a prison. That would be the worst place on Earth to be a prisoner. longer; It is a widely held belief that we have built a Prison at Tulle Military base in NW Greenland. Denmark owns Greenland, and Greenland has a lot of resources under the ice that is melting. We also have military bases in Iceland that maintains our security into the Artic. China has been moving in and doing exploration work and trying to establish a lock on those minerals, oil (?) etc. plus trying to get a foothold in the Artic region. Demark and Iceland are critical to US Military early warning and surveillance of Russia. By extending goodwill, Pompeo is helping both countries keep their waters clear of Chinese and other foreign fishing fleets, plus military support if needed while keeping out the CCP. If they do have a Prison there it would be worse than GITMO by 100%
Is this “watch the waters”?
I don't know what is called now, been off active duty many years. While I was on duty we were expanding abilities to counter most anything that might come over the North Pole, by ice, sea or air. Most of it classified back then, so I only know that Tulle Greenland and Keflavik Iceland are common knowledge now. I don't want to speculate other than they had several different purposes and most likely still do.
Q said this is bigger than you can possibly imagine, maybe Tulle is an overflow prison, never able to escape that place and wouldn't ever want to be there.
Maybe unrelated. But while doing some research I happened to notice that Keflavik recently had a complete renovation of the airport surface. All the runways and tarmacs replaced in 2018
Keflavik has been an important US Naval Air Station for many, many years and I think has been re-designated as a Joint Forces Base now. Many upgrades were done over the years to taxiways/ runways and adding new support services. I think the improvements/ maintenance has been an ongoing program. Not sure if they built any new "containment structures" there.
They are repairing the runway in the Azores, so there is a good chance that lots of people/equipment/materials will need to be shipped in. Potentially from Iceland or Greece? Who knows. (There's a prison there, too.)
