Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said Greenlanders could vote to join Russia if US President Donald Trump did not move quickly to secure the Arctic island, Interfax reported on Monday.
“Trump needs to hurry. According to unverified information, in a few days there could be a sudden referendum, at which the entire 55,000-strong Greenland could vote to join Russia,” Interfax reported, quoting Medvedev, a former Russian president. “And then that’s it. No new little stars on the (US) flag.”
Trump has revived his push for the United States to take control of Greenland. The Arctic island’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen told a press conference in Copenhagen yesterday that Greenland chooses Denmark over the US.

And monkeys could fly out of my butt.
No one wants to join Russia.
the Russians will demand they conduct the voting process to ensure a fair result
“No one wants to join Russia.”
Yep, the Russian speakers in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea would rather live under the Bandera disciples in Kiev.
But I do realize the need to keep up your fiction.
Join Russia! Unlimited free borscht, blinis, and vodka!
“Hey guys! I have an idea: let’s join Russia so we can be drafted to fight in a war in some place we’ve never been! What do you think?”
Nanook is going to lash up the dogs, put the wife on the sled, and brave thirty miles of open Arctic landscape to cast a vote for Vlad?! Yeah right…

Don’t eat the yellow snow.
BobL, many Russians even in MAINLAND Russia have Ukrainian ties and are not happy with the way the war is going. Doesn’t mean they want to be part of Ukraine...but...
It all depends what happens with Putin. If he passes away one day...you’d be surprised the complexity of opinions not the ground in Crimea and elsewhere..most people just want stability and prosperity like everywhere else and it isn’t as important whether it be under the banner of Ukraine or Russia. (As far as Crimea is concerned.)

ON* the ground. Sorry typo.
That’s the risk when you treat your colonies with near abandonment.

Zelenskyy, before getting into politics, was popular in Russia, and regularly appeared on Russian TV.
LOL! Yeah. How many Greenlanders are there? 67,000? I’m guessing one million votes for joining Russia.
I agree that it was complicated BEFORE 2014, not now. Would have been best of the Neocons let them sort things out rather than wrecking the country in 2014, and to a lesser extent, 2008.
Good point!
Dmitry Medvedev is trolling Trump.
Good luck Dmitry!
Igloos easy to build
They don’t want any gringos up there.
Current Polling in Greenland (2025–2026)
Opposition to Joining the U.S.: Multiple polls conducted between early 2025 and January 2026 show that 85% of Greenlanders oppose becoming part of the United States.
Coulda, would, shoulda, who cares about such retarded speculations?
