WWIII?
From the BBC wire:
Canada sends navy to Arctic north
Canada is sending its navy back to the far northern Arctic port of Churchill after a 30-year absence.
…
The move follows a spat between Canada and Denmark, over a square kilometre of uninhabited rock called Hans Island in the eastern Arctic.
A visit there by Canada’s defence minister last month angered the Danes.
Now two Canadian warships, the Shawinigan and the Glace Bay, are on a mission to display what Canada calls its territorial sovereignty over parts of the Arctic it believes are within its borders.
Oh, hoser, hoser, hoser
We don’t have to escalate . . .
Time will tell whether Denmark takes this as a causus bellum, or just shrugs and goes back to its akwavit. But I wouldn’t want to be Iceland right now, caught between the pass and fell-incensed points of mighty opposites like that.
