Sky News today (15/01/26) places two items right next to each other on its 'World' news page.

One relates to Greenland and headlines the 'fundamental disagreement' between the USA and Denmark over the territory and the other poses the question: Is America surrendering Antarctica to its rivals?

Not content with the chaos over the impending US takeover of Greenland it now appears the MSM is taking the line that Trump should be annexing Antarctica as well because of the threat to the South Pole from those dastardly Russians and Chinese.

It seems clear that there will soon be a MSM campaign to talk up the threat to Antarctica from Russia along the same lines as the mythical threat to Europe and calling for NATO to expand south in order to 'defend' the South Pole from Putin's imperialist ambitions:

Imperialist Putin wants to take over Antarctica!
Russian icebreakers must be boarded and confiscated!
He won't stop with the North Pole - he wants the South Pole as well!

Apparently the UK has responded to the threat of a US takeover of Greenland by sending 'a military officer' at the request of Denmark.

Presumably his mission is to foment some kind of rebellion among the Inuit - Lawrence of Arabia style - except in the snow not the sand.

If only David Lean were alive ... FNN can imagine the scene now:

Ponsonby of the Arctic approaches from a long distance away on his skidoo through a swirling snowstorm dressed in a jet-black PETA-approved fake fur...

You get the picture.
