Listen to Donald Trump and you would think Moscow and Beijing were lying in wait off the coast of Greenland, ready to pounce to boost their power in the Arctic. There are Russian destroyers, there are Chinese destroyers and, bigger, there are Russian submarines all over the place, President Trump said recently. This is why, according to him, US control of Greenland is essential.
So how do you think Moscow has reacted to its alleged plot being uncovered and potentially thwarted by a US takeover of Greenland? The Russians can't be pleased. Right? Wrong.
In an astonishing article, the Russian government paper is full of praise for Trump and critical of European leaders who oppose US annexation. They argue that Europe is stubborn and out of touch with Trump's vision. If Trump successfully annexes Greenland by July 4, 2026, he could go down in history as a key figure in cementing America's greatness, eclipsing even major historical milestones like the abolition of slavery.
This all stems from Russia's broader strategy: they believe weakening the ties between the US and Europe could foster an advantageous climate for Russia, especially concerning the ongoing war in Ukraine. Russian commentators are using Trump's Greenland plans to bolster their arguments about territorial disputes and reinforce their stance against European unity. As one Russian tabloid gleefully noted, Europe is at a total loss and, to be honest, it's a pleasure to watch this.
With tensions flaring, the implications of the Greenland situation could reshape geopolitical alliances and international strategies.
