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.

“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.

“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?”

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.)

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.

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.
