Russia is closely monitoring Donald Trump’s territorial claims to Greenland, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has said, after the US president-elect refused to rule out the possibility of using military force to acquire the Danish territory.

“We are following this rather dramatic development closely. Thankfully, for now, it remains at the level of statements,” Peskov told a news conference in Moscow on Thursday.

“The Arctic zone is an area of our national and strategic interests. We are present in the Arctic and will continue to be. Maintaining peace and stability in the region is paramount, and we are open to cooperation with all nations to achieve this goal,” he noted.

Peskov also criticised European leaders’ response to Trump’s comments. “Europe reacts very timidly – it is clear they are hesitant to challenge Trump’s words,” he said.

Putin thinks Ukraine is part of Russia. I don’t think he can mentally process the idea that Ukrainians have their own franchise. Russian chauvinists of his ilk will have to be kicked and/or bankrupted out of there. They won’t leave willingly.

Maintaining peace and stability anywhere is not a Russian foreign policy goal.

How many countries has the CIA destabilized and overthrown now?

The West is being overrun by "refugees" from Libya and Iraq, and now they want to do the same thing to Iran.

"Tu quoque" is not a defense. It's a logical fallacy.

Since you did not attempt to contradict my statement, I understand that you acknowledge its truth. Thank you.

Have a nice day.

I must be over the target. The rats are fleeing.

Try to contradict it, and I'll laugh in your face.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Show me where Russia says that.

PS - Only insane people resort to all caps.

Rumor has it Elon will buy the Dallas Cowboys and move the team to Greenland USA.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Now you’re Nosferatu?

[MV=PY]

Trump gamesmanship before he even takes office.

[NorthMountain]

Personal insults aren't a logical argument. They're a logical fallacy.

In fact, you have offered nothing but logical fallacies in this exchange.

Do you have anything meaningful to say?

Let Russia have it, they are a cleaner people.

Russia wants Greenland.

America wants Greenland.

I want Greenland.

Greenland is cool.

“Maintaining peace and stability in the region is paramount...” says the man whose country just invaded Ukraine.

But it's Trump's to take?

No, it belongs to Denmark.

Trump isn't going to invade or conquer Greenland, and I doubt he buys it either. This is gamesmanship to make sure Greenland's resources aren't monopolized by any third parties (beginning with "C" and ending with "ina"), and to make sure an independent Greenland (if that happens) is firmly allied with the West.
