Denmark
80.间谍与叛徒：恕我直言，007的故事弱爆了（上） adds Denmark as the freedom-shock and intelligence-posting setting for Oleg Gordievsky. The 蜜獾吃书 episode says his Copenhagen years exposed him to public libraries, music, streets, cafes, and uncensored foreign publications, making the West tangible while MI6 / British Secret Intelligence Service / 军情六处 and Danish observers assessed whether he could become a source against the KGB / 克格勃.
81.间谍与叛徒：恕我直言，007的故事弱爆了（下） adds Denmark again through the extraction side of Operation Pimlico / 皮姆利科行动. Danish intelligence personnel meet Veronica Price and British officers on the Finnish side, linking Denmark’s earlier observation role to the later rescue infrastructure.
Denmark appears in How to get what Greenland has, with permission as the kingdom-state context for Greenland. The episode says Greenland was colonized by Denmark in 1721 and remains within the Kingdom of Denmark, but is self-governing and cannot simply be sold by Denmark to the United States.
The source uses Denmark to show why Donald Trump’s Greenland rhetoric runs into political and legal reality. Denmark’s relationship to Greenland matters for defense and diplomacy, but the episode emphasizes that Greenlanders themselves have agency and that both Denmark and Greenland have said the island is not for sale.
Denmark also sits inside the episode’s alliance logic. Because Greenland is tied to Denmark and NATO, the source argues that aggressive attempts to control Greenland would create allied disorder while the U.S. already has extensive defense access through existing arrangements.
