Denmark Was Ready to Blow Up Airfields to Stop a U.S. Invasion of Greenland

The administration continues to try to sell its war as a violent video game, and Trump as a dignified leader. Eli Stokols, Ben Johansen, Jack Detsch, and Paul McLeary of Politico reported on Wednesday that the White House is thrilled with the engagement garnered by the war videos made by White House communications staffers, in which footage of military strikes is intercut with football hits or bowling pins being blasted apart, or with clips from movies like Top Gun and Gladiator. A White House official told the journalists: “We’re over here just grinding away on banger memes, dude. There’s an entertainment factor to what we do. But ultimately, it boils down to the fact that no one has ever attempted to communicate with the American public this way before.”
