Putin’s State TV Floats Splitting Greenland With Trump

Last Thursday, appearing on the state TV program 60 Minutes, the Americanist Malek Dudakov said, “Trump will create many problems for the Europeans, not to mention that he will unload the expenditures for the Ukrainian project upon them. Let us wish success to both sides of the conflict.”

Ironically, a 2022 report by the Danish Security and Intelligence Service accused Russia of forging a letter purporting to be from Greenland’s foreign minister to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). The letter falsely claimed, “Our government is going to overcome all legal and political barriers... and to organize the referendum on independence of Greenland from Denmark as fast as possible.” In response, the Arkansas Republican boasted of being the one to float the idea of buying Greenland to Trump.

The goal of the forged document might have been to create a rift between NATO allies, but since Trump is enamored with the idea of taking over Greenland, Moscow’s initial plot might spectacularly backfire.
