“In short, America’s plans in relation to Greenland are serious,” President Putin said in an address to Russia’s Arctic Forum in Murmansk.
"These plans have deep historical roots. And it’s clear that the US will continue to systematically pursue its geo-strategic, military-political and economic interests in the Аrctic.
“As for Greenland this is a matter for two specific countries. It has nothing to do with us.”

Unfortunately, this particular move has a larger historical context. To be clear, I am not pleased to have learned of this. It belongs in the compost pile of history.
But that is the thing. Trump is the ONLY president in the last 70 years to publicly express an interest in this. Considering Trump’s apparent loyalty and dedication to Putin, I have to assume that this is entirely Putin’s idea. Trump is too stupid to come up with this plan on his own and acquiring Greenland only makes sense if the end game is to cut ties with Europe and strengthen ties with Russia. Otherwise, it’s more beneficial to the US to let Denmark be responsible for governing there.
Fuck Trump and Fuck Putin! They are both a cancer on the world and we will all be better off when they are both gone.
So say we all
