why the fuck are we spying on Danes? are we expecting a Viking resurgence? how about spying on drug cartels and shutting our border....o wait, half of DC prob gets money from the cartels
ya i do...i think the point was to get a missile detection system there so if china or russia shot nukes over the north poll we would have some warning
Former Airforce (ret) here. We have that already at Thule Airbase, Greenland, now under USSF control. Thule AB has been there for quite some time with this mission.
So, now, here's something to really chew on: Airforce bases are typically named after someone or the town they're near; e.g. "Patrick AFB", Eglin AFB", "Travis AFB", "Spangdahlem AFB", etc. This is one of the only ones that is not but named after a Greek name for an ancient civilization of Hyperboreans far to the North. Why? There's your nugget if you enjoy ancient history (not myth as academia would want you to believe).
You would be surprised by how much spying goes on... even nations we consider allies spy on the u.s. Israel, France, and Germany have intelligence operatives in the u.s.
This is exactly what Echelon was, then the Patriot Act ushered in the ability to just spy on our own citizens/politicians without UK/NZ/AUS or Canada's help.
How many U.S. politicians and government officials will be held complicit in aiding and abetting foreign governments spying on and interfering with U.S. elections.
Nations always do spy on each other a little - that said. Spying on the French is probably not the worst idea but spying on the Danes is a waste of resources. Denmark is not like France or the US. It's a fairly high trust society with an open economy and no real enemies. The Danes are also notoriously quite blunt. If you asked their government something in private they would probably give you a straight answer.
Lee Kwan Yew the first PM of Singapore gave an interview once where he castigated American intelligence for its corrupting influence on countries institutions after a senior intelligence officer reported to his superiors that the CIA tried to recruit him even though Singapore was a close ally of both the US and Britain and Australia. He went on to say that the US had no discretion in how it went about foreign relations with other nations compared to the worlds other major powers.
For example my guess is the foreign office here in Britain probably had someone who kept an ear to the ground in Singapore or maybe someone in the RAF brass - probably had a few friends there who would talk shop and probably swap information on what was going on in London or at the Commonwealth office or at the MOD over a coffee or a few pints of Tiger. No need for corrupting influences or money.

remember the greenland thing? Trump wanted to buy it from denmark....

goooooo oooooooonnnnn
Ding ding ding
I doubt there is a country on Earth they aren't spying on. They are looking for blackmail material to control their politicians.

it’s all a big fuckin board game
Just to drive this point home. Other countries think it is treasonous to spy on politicians.

It’s time someone is hung for treason anyway. Let’s get this party started.!
Will it be called Six Eyes now?
Great, now do the United States.
