On a dark morning in Nuuk, a local mechanic scrolls a phone the way people do everywhere now: thumb, pause, thumb. A headline says the United States is drawing up plans to invade Greenland. Another post insists Russian submarines are already prowling offshore. A third claims Denmark is secretly begging Moscow for help. None of it comes with documents he can authenticate just screenshots and a comment section already boiling with contempt. 

This exemplifies modern influence warfare.  Not a single lie exaggeration but a media environment that makes trust expensive. Right now, reporting about President Trump and Greenland is being molded into exactly that kind of environment. The on-the-record reality is serious enough. The White House has said it is considering a “range of options” and that using the U.S. military is “always an option.”  (ABC News)
