The « Deep State » in Passive Resistance?
A crucial question remains: will the American state apparatus (Pentagon, CIA, State Department) follow this madness to the end? Nothing is less certain. In Washington, career military and diplomats know that the Thule base is too vital to be played at geopolitical Russian roulette. They are aware that a rupture with Denmark would blind American satellite surveillance at the North Pole.

We are likely heading towards an internal shadow war: meticulous administrative sabotage. The « Deep State » will likely attempt to bog down Trump’s demands in endless feasibility studies and complex legal commissions. Their goal? To buy time, discreetly reassure allies through backchannels (« Don’t listen to him, we’re holding the fort »), and prevent presidential caprice from transforming a major strategic asset into an irreversible diplomatic disaster. The real battle for Greenland may not be played out in Nuuk, but in the corridors of the Pentagon.
