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.

Slight correction:
Maintaining chaos and war everywhere is an American foreign policy goal.
One or two days a year, maybe. The rest of the time, it's just really, really cold.
One could cherry pick LA, too.
The USA needs a couple of new, yuge Icebreakers.

Finland can make them faster, cheaper, better, and state of the art than any shipyard in the US.
I have no doubt.
I’ll tell Trump.
He might. It's obviously something he has given some thought over several years. While annexing Greenland might not happen in the short term, I could see a sovereign Greenland joining a Union of sorts with the USA and maybe Canada, with economic, financial and defense treaties. Geographically, it makes sense, as Greenland is part of North America, separated from Canada by 12 miles, Denmark by 1200. In the mean time, Trump can get much of what we want through negotiating treaties with Denmark, who's FM has already started speaking of being ready to make concessions. But they need to learn English. Greenlandic isn't gonna work...
This FReeper says you're nuts.
The West is being overrun by "refugees" from Libya and Iraq, and now they want to do the same thing to Iran.
Thanks for rebutting the swill from that arrogant zeeper you were debating.
zeeper logic:
“If I capitalize and italicize, I win the argument!”
That dude is a clown.
You’re entitled to your opinion, of course ... at least, you are in America. Russia, not so much.
But you have not offered a “correction”. You haven’t even offered a disagreement. You’ve only offered a distraction.
Lol. Do you think that threatening and cursing your wife is the best way do ensure fidelity?
