The Russian president, however, claimed he was open to compromise, with the Kremlin calling on the US to join it in dividing up the natural resources for the two nations to share

bruh

The government is Fully in Bed with Russia. Pete has a Russian Email.

And Gabbard is a big fan of RT

Yeah once I realized putin was obssessed with arctic resources it became obvious why trump is obsessed with taking greenland and canada.

[-] LadyAutumn 25 points 1 week ago

Oh cute, it's like a little throwback to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

[-] tiefling 6 points 1 week ago

For anyone wondering, yes it's the same Molotov

[-] belastend@slrpnk.net 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The Molotov-cocktail was a finnish strategy of dealing with tanks during the Winter War in 1939-40.

Molotov was the foreign minister of the USSR and he apparently said that the russian bombers were dropping bread for the finnish people. To no ones surprise, they didnt drop bread, they dropped incendiary cluster bombs.

So the Finns started called bombs "Molotov bread baskets" and then returned the favor with their homemade cocktails.

Putin said the world should not take Trump’s comments lightly and claimed Moscow would be ready to protect its interests in the Arctic if NATO nations expand their territory in the region.

Greenland is already a part of NATO. The US owning it would not expand NATO territory.

[-] eronth@lemmy.world 54 points 1 week ago

uhhh, you also don't own Greenland

[-] Airowird@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

He rather has an independant Greenland he can infiltrate & convert than it being a permanent US territory.

[-] rusticus@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

But the US has already been infiltrated

You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket.

I did chuckle inside when I read the post, so maybe.

Though I think he's been laughing for some time now so he could be hysterical with how things have panned out.

[-] Aux@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

NY Post are comedians. Putin didn't say anything mentioned in the article.

Soon agent krasnov will miraculously forget about his ambitions for greenland.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

Because he was server polonium tea from his buddy pootie?

I’m holding out for falling out a window.

[-] afronaut@slrpnk.net 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Just yesterday, I read a comment that literally said Greenland doesn’t have to worry about Russia because America was the bigger threat.

Like, yall realize Russian agents have infiltrated the US government and manipulated its election results, right?

Keep repeating it because there* are people on here that continue to deny it.

Ah! The good old Soviet disinformation technique "firehose of falsehood" also known as "flood the zone with shit".

...this is just staging plausible deniability for the russian asset...

[-] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

I’m convinced that Trump only wants Greenland so that he has an even biglier piece of stolen land than Putin has with Ukraine. It’s all a tiny dick-measuring contest.

Putin realizes this fact and puts out a message like this to remind his subordinate (Trump) of his place.

[-] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure it's because, in spite of publicly denying its existence, they are very aware that climate change will make once difficult to tame lands very highly valuable in the near future. A good deal of all that ice and snow to the north will become much less of an issue within many of our lifetimes.

[-] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I was not aware of this projected timeline, so thank you for sharing. Still, Canada and Greenland each have a lush of natural resources, and the promise of more down the line (even if it is a good ways down that line), making them desirable assets for people who seek and wish to maintain power.

They're getting in on the ground floor.

Political theater we all know Russia and the USA are now allies

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Daddy has spoken. Trump will back off now.
