Russia Monitors Trump’s Greenland Comments Amid Global Concerns

[Social Media]

 

The Kremlin is keeping a watchful eye on recent remarks by US President-elect Donald Trump regarding the possibility of taking Greenland from Denmark, a statement that has sparked international unease. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized Russia's vested interest in the Arctic, describing the region as being within its "sphere of national and strategic interests" and highlighting Moscow's commitment to maintaining peace and stability there.  

 

Trump’s comments, which included an unwillingness to rule out military action, have drawn sharp criticism from European leaders. EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas underscored the importance of respecting Greenland’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, while German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated unequivocally that "borders must not be moved by force."  

 

Peskov characterized Trump’s remarks as dramatic but maintained they were primarily a matter for the United States, Denmark, and other directly involved nations. However, he noted, “We are present in the Arctic zone, and we will continue to be present there,” signaling Russia’s ongoing interest in the region’s strategic and economic importance.  

 

Outgoing US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sought to calm international anxiety during a visit to Paris, dismissing the feasibility of Trump’s idea. “The idea is... obviously not a good one, but maybe more important, it’s obviously one that’s not going to happen,” Blinken said. Similarly, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy downplayed the likelihood of Trump following through but acknowledged the destabilizing potential of his rhetoric.  

 

Greenland, an autonomous territory under Danish sovereignty, is home to a population of around 56,000 and hosts both US and Danish military installations. The island’s vast reserves of untapped mineral and oil wealth make it geopolitically significant.  

 

Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede, who has been advocating for independence from Denmark, reiterated that the territory is "not for sale." Both he and Denmark’s leadership have stressed that Greenland’s future will be decided by its own people, further rejecting any notion of external interference.  

 

As Trump’s comments ripple across the international community, Russia’s stated vigilance underscores the Arctic’s growing strategic significance. With competing interests in the resource-rich region, global powers are paying close attention to developments, ensuring that any rhetoric threatening stability is met with a unified stance.

No need to monitor anything, this is just a very silly man with the emotional development of a 13-year-old, and absolutely no ability to discern the importance of what he says and does. He will say absolutely anything, he just blurts stuff out like a juvenile and people actually take him seriously.

 

This is not a man that should be taken seriously on any level.

Trump's BS.

Might be useful sometimes (for Ukraine).

If the president of the USA suggests any possible military move that impacts world's power balance, it is enough to worry Poo-tin(already full of paranoids).

As he might feel he could soon face Another Front while own inept forces well overstretched invading the neighbor.

Europeans have taken him seriously to hastily arrange meetings to see how they can increase their defense spending
Canadians have taken him seriously and are working on how to reduce illegal immigration and deal with Trump economically
Middle East take him seriously in Syria, Lebanon while Iran wish they had earlier. Hamas just a lost, sick cause. Trump had good relations with moderate, adult ME countries and they'll work with him much closer than they did with B b b Biden. 
Mexicans take him seriously and are now clamping down on drug control into the US as well as illegal immigration.

Trump sends out extreme messages to make his point, like Climate Change alarmists over the years, and people been taking them seriously. Heck, we know what caused those LA fires don't we.

Difference is Trump has more control over his extreme utterances and is in a position to exceed expectations - he won't invade Greenland, Canada or Panama, democracy will prevail in the US, woke trends including contempt for Western civilisation will wither, US economy will be stronger and swinging voters will ultimately be glad they rejected Haha Harris.

It's all just lip service to placate the Main MAGA Moron. They're laughing at him behind closed doors, just like in the G-7 (G-20?) conference when he was president before. Even got a video of it if you care to search.

Talk about over estimating an absolute huckster and goon. Severe disappointment is coming your way!
