Jan 11 (Reuters) - Nordic diplomats rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's claims of Russian and Chinese vessels operating near Greenland, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. There have been no signs of Russian or Chinese ships or submarines around Greenland in recent years, the FT said, citing two senior Nordic diplomats with access to NATO intelligence briefings.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The White House and NATO did not respond to Reuters requests for comment.
“It is simply not true that the Chinese and Russians are there. I have seen the intelligence. There are no ships, no submarines,” the FT quoted one senior diplomat as saying.

Another Nordic diplomat said claims that waters around Greenland were “crawling” with Russian and Chinese vessels were unfounded, adding that such activity was on the Russian side of the Arctic.

Trump has repeatedly said Russian and Chinese vessels are operating near Greenland, a claim Denmark disputes. He has not provided evidence to support it.

1. "He has not provided evidence to support it."

Which is par for the course when it comes to Fuckface.

2. I'm feeling a Gulf of Tonkin or Remember the Maine! moment coming here.

Which is a perfect follow up to basically invading a country a week ago without even a concept of a plan.

God help us.
