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, U.S. control of Greenland is essential.
So how do you think Moscow has reacted to its alleged plot being uncovered and potentially thwarted by a U.S. 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 a U.S. annexation of Greenland. Standing in the way of the U.S. president's historic breakthrough is the stubbornness of Copenhagen and the mock solidarity of intransigent European countries, including so-called friends of America, Britain and France, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
The Russian outlet continues, outlining how Europe's reluctance is a hindrance to the potential greatness of the United States under Trump's leadership. They suggest that if Trump successfully annexes Greenland by the U.S. Independence Day in 2026, he will secure a monumental place in history, akin to major historical events like the abolition of slavery.
Further underlining their support, the Russian tabloid Moskovsky Komsomolets expresses, Europe is at a total loss and, to be honest, it's a pleasure to watch this. This praise seems tied to Moscow’s broader objective of weakening Western alliances, viewing Trump's intentions as a pathway to achieving their geopolitical goals amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
In essence, while Trump pushes for Greenland, Russia stands as an unexpected ally, asserting that a U.S. annexation could indeed shift global power dynamics to the Kremlin's advantage.
