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.

That is why, according to America’s president, 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.

    I’m not sure Donald is aware that Russia borders the Arctic and China is right there, and that the USA does have possession of Alaska.

    Once Europeans understand the American coup of Ukraine, NATO expansionism, blowing up the pipe and the current Western European remilitarization efforts are all ways America has kept Western Europe subjugated (our leaders are whores paid by the same interests that govern America), and that it being against Russia was nothing but spin, that there’s no need to “contain Russia” as much as there is a need to contain America, maybe they’ll open their eyes a bit and see our “friend” across the pond more accurately. Just consider the outcomes for a second and think of who benefits from all of this…
