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

bruh

The government is Fully in Bed with Russia. Pete has a Russian Email.

And Gabbard is a big fan of RT

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 17 points 3 days ago

Yeah once I realized putin was obssessed with arctic resources it became obvious why trump is obsessed with taking greenland and canada.

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh cute, it's like a little throwback to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

For anyone wondering, yes it's the same Molotov

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.

uhhh, you also don't own Greenland

[–] Airowird@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] rusticus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But the US has already been infiltrated

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket.

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.

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?

Keep repeating it because there* are people on here that continue to deny it.

Ah! The good old Soviet disinformation technique "firehose of falsehood" also known as "flood the zone with shit".

Political theater we all know Russia and the USA are now allies

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.

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 5 points 3 days ago

NY Post are comedians. Putin didn't say anything mentioned in the article.

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Soon agent krasnov will miraculously forget about his ambitions for greenland.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because he was server polonium tea from his buddy pootie?

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 days ago

I’m holding out for falling out a window.

[–] Cornpop@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

I think Putin told trump he hid the pee pee tapes in Greenland.

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 19 points 3 days ago

...this is just staging plausible deniability for the russian asset...

[–] BowlingForBowls@lemmy.today 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Political theater.

What? You think Donny had that idea on his own? PHAhaha

[–] kokope11i@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah unfortunately it makes sense now. Sigh.

[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure it's because, in spite of publicly denying its existence, they are very aware that climate change will make once difficult to tame lands very highly valuable in the near future. A good deal of all that ice and snow to the north will become much less of an issue within many of our lifetimes.

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I was not aware of this projected timeline, so thank you for sharing. Still, Canada and Greenland each have a lush of natural resources, and the promise of more down the line (even if it is a good ways down that line), making them desirable assets for people who seek and wish to maintain power.

They're getting in on the ground floor.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Daddy has spoken. Trump will back off now.
