    The Russian president, however, claimed he was open to compromise, with the Kremlin calling on the US to join it in dividing up the natural resources for the two nations to share

            The Molotov-cocktail was a finnish strategy of dealing with tanks during the Winter War in 1939-40.

            Molotov was the foreign minister of the USSR and he apparently said that the russian bombers were dropping bread for the finnish people. To no ones surprise, they didnt drop bread, they dropped incendiary cluster bombs.

            So the Finns started called bombs “Molotov bread baskets” and then returned the favor with their homemade cocktails.

    Putin said the world should not take Trump’s comments lightly and claimed Moscow would be ready to protect its interests in the Arctic if NATO nations expand their territory in the region.

    Greenland is already a part of NATO. The US owning it would not expand NATO territory.

      I did chuckle inside when I read the post, so maybe.

      Though I think he’s been laughing for some time now so he could be hysterical with how things have panned out.

      He rather has an independant Greenland he can infiltrate & convert than it being a permanent US territory.

      Actual story:

      https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7432451el7o

      “As for Greenland this is a matter for two specific countries. It has nothing to do with us.”

      And then Russian rep goes on to talk about how great it would be to work with the US to invest in exploiting the arctic.

      So much for “threatening” the US.

    Just yesterday, I read a comment that literally said Greenland doesn’t have to worry about Russia because America was the bigger threat.

    Like, yall realize Russian agents have infiltrated the US government and manipulated its election results, right?

    I’m convinced that Trump only wants Greenland so that he has an even biglier piece of stolen land than Putin has with Ukraine. It’s all a tiny dick-measuring contest.

    Putin realizes this fact and puts out a message like this to remind his subordinate (Trump) of his place.
