Putin Warns It Is “Deep Mistake” Not To Believe Trump Will Conquer Greenland

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A thought-provoking new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first notes President Putin warningly observed: “Everyone knows about the US plans to annex Greenland...You know, this may surprise someone only at first glance...And it is a deep mistake to believe that this is some kind of extravagant talk of the new American administration...Let me remind you that by 1868, the Alaska purchase was being ridiculed in American newspapers...It was called madness, an ‘ice box’, and ‘the polar bear garden’ of Andrew Johnson, then-US president...And his Greenland proposals failed”.

As the largest island in the world rich in untapped natural resources, this report notes, Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, not a country, with a population of about 56,000 who are full citizens of Denmark and, by extension, the socialist European Union, but is part of North America in the Western Hemisphere, that is controlled and protected by the United States.

In 1867, this report continues, President Andrew Johnson considered acquiring Greenland, but history now records: “Russia offered to sell Alaska to the United States in 1859, believing the United States would off-set the designs of Russia’s greatest rival in the Pacific, Great Britain...The looming U.S. Civil War delayed the sale, but after the war, Secretary of State William H. Seward quickly took up a renewed Russian offer, and agreed to a proposal from Russian Minister in Washington, Edouard de Stoeckl, to purchase Alaska for $7.2 million...The treaty was signed on March 30, 1867...The U.S. Senate approved the treaty of purchase on April 9, and President Andrew Johnson signed it on May 28...Alaska was formally transferred to the United States on October 18, 1867...This purchase ended Russia’s presence in North America and ensured U.S. access to the Pacific northern rim...It added nearly 600 million square miles to the territory of the United States”.

After World War II, this report details, President Harry Truman suggested offering $100 million to Denmark to buy Greenland—a suggestion that lay dormant for 80 years until President Donald Trump assumed power, who proclaimed about Greenland this past week: “We have to have the land because it’s not possible to properly defend a large section of this Earth – not just the US – without it...So we have to have it, and I think we will have it”, and yesterday he posted the video message “America Stands With Greenland”.

At the same time President Trump posted his video message to Greenland yesterday, this report notes, Vice President J. D. Vance arrived at the American military base in Greenland where he declared: “We do not think military force is ever going to be necessary...What we think is going to happen is that the Greenlanders are going to choose, through self determination, to become independent of Denmark, and then we’re going to have conversations with the people of Greenland from there”.

While watching President Trump move to conquer Greenland, this report continues, President Putin warningly assessed: “We are, of course, concerned by the fact that NATO countries as a whole are more frequently designating the far north as a bridgehead for possible conflicts, practicing the use of troops in these conditions, including their new recruits from Finland and Sweden...I would like to emphasize that Russia has never threatened anyone in the Arctic, but we will not tolerate any encroachments on its sovereignty and will reliably protect its national interests”.

Like in the 1860s, when Russia wanted the United States to take control of Alaska to curb the power of the British Empire, and the Americans also used it to smash the Japanese Empire during World War II, both of whom were major threats to Russia, this report details, the United States takeover of Greenland would eliminate the socialist European powers military threat to Russia in the Arctic, while also curbing socialist European Union economic threats to America—and in viewing the current dynamic, it caused world-renowned Norwegian international relations expert Florian Vidol to most factually observe: “In the power game that is developing over Greenland, there is one big potential loser, and it's the European Union...It needs the resourse for its energy transition...It's heavily reliant on Greenland...And it faces the potential danger of being squeezed out”.

In anticipation of President Trump conquering Greenland, this report notes, Minister Alexey Chekunkov for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic declared: “The United States and Russia are destined for close ties in the Arctic”, and CEO Kirill Dmitriev of the Russian Direct Investment Fund assessed: “We really see the possibility of cooperation, including with the United States, on a number of projects in the Arctic... We see the desire of US companies to invest in various Arctic projects”.

As to why American companies need Russian cooperation in the Arctic, this report concludes, is because Russia possesses the world’s largest icebreaker fleet that is larger than all the icebreakers in the world combined—Russia also possesses the world’s only floating nuclear plant able to power cities and industry in the Arctic, and it was revealed in January: “Rosatom is in the process of constructing four floating power units and is targeting the export market for floating nuclear power plants with capacity of at least 100 MWe and an assigned service life of up to 60 years featuring RITM-200M reactors, derived from those used on Russia's latest nuclear-powered icebreakers”.
