  2. Congratulations to so-called democratic and civilised world: you are losing to dictators and idiots who simply turned out to be bolder than you. Have fun cowering and making up excuses for yourselves.

  3. We live in weird times where Russia and USA are aligned in ideology and politics against Canada and Europe

  4. A yes, the alternative history expert says something about history again.

  5. I don’t think we should care what this murderous psychopath is saying

  6. Rooted in history? In the sense they tried to buy Greenland once or twice before and were rebuked?

  8. This is where Trump is getting his ideas from. Putin is pushing him to take Greenland and Canada to appear string. With that Putin will waltz in and take Ukraine and the baltics with no US support.

    Thankfully Europe is strengthening.

  9. Trump moves on Greenland. Putin moves on Svalbard. Polar Yalta, done.

    It’s not like I’m the first to come up with that idea.

  10. Due to its high journalistic standards, the ‘Associated Press’ from the USA is one of the very few American press agencies that can also be of interest to European readers. Nevertheless, when in doubt, the European press is preferable to the American press.

  11. Stop this madness and stop supporting USA

  12. I think trump asked Putin to say that Russia have an interest in Greenland. That way trumps narrative about Greenland and security will seem legit.

  15. The notion that this preposterous bullshit is rooted in anything besides Donald Trump’s ego is fucking laughable.

  20. Putin and Trump, trying to normalize the idea that they can just take whatever countries they like. 

    Absolutely vile.

  21. Does this guy thinks anybody cares?

    The amount of damage this guy has done already

  22. He’s literally just repeating his shit justifications for his own wars and war crimes for America. Actual loving people sacrificed because “muh history”

  24. Returning to “spheres of influence” is exactly what Putin wants -dividing up the globe and letting one large bully control each region by threats and force. And Trump loves this idea.
    Straight out of 1984

  26. This can be interpretate both way. As an encouragement or a threat that Russia is gonna respond to American’s imperialism. From the way he says it I’m inclined to go with the latter.

  27. How embarrassing the Greenland visit must be for proper diplomats. To go uninvited via military aircraft, to an ally, attempt to create a negative or chaotic PR event full of misinformation by knocking on peoples doors, getting refused and chased away. Great show and outcome america. Clearly shows how much of a bully the Couch predator is and the united snakes has become. The trumpettes need to get more coaching from buddy Putin to pull off false flag events.

  29. this is just theatre. Putin has been pushing right wing republicans t conquer Greenland for years.

  30. Can everyone just stop with the whole rooted in history bullshit. This is the biggest problem in the Middle East. “This was our land 100 years ago” “No it was ours 500 years ago” ‘No it was given to us by God 6000 years ago” Can all these fucking war mongering dinosaurs still living in the past just fucking die already.

  32. I suspect putin does this to deliver an excuse to trump to increase US military presence in Greenland. The first step in the process of annexation. I’m a bit! worried.

  33. Just giving his buddy a justifiable argument to invade greenland he can present to the press.

    “See? I told you so we need greenland”

  34. Just Putler stroking Trumpolini with the hair while he’s making outrageous claims to legitimize his own behavior. Clear as day.

  35. How much money are we putting on Putin and US working together to carve up the artic and then turn their focus to Europe?

    We are truly fucked.

  36. Absolute bastards.

    Fuck them, and fuck their imperialist ambitions!

  38. Isn’t he dead yet? It’s already feeling like an eternity.

  40. I’m not European but please read on….

    Because of the recent changes, we’ve now got the 3 biggest nuclear and conventional armed countries that seem to subscribe to the belief that ‘might makes right’….’ eg they openly advocate the use of military force to obtain objectives or have expressed the desire to annex another state.

    Worse, 2 of them now seem to be collaborating to pursue aggressive foreign policy. During the Cold War, these same 3 toughest kids in the block never got this far. The last time this sort of evil happened was when Hitler and Stalin invaded Poland.

    What now for the rest of the world that hold belief in democracy, freedom and human rights? Can we see Europe as our bastion of hope? Or does Europe care only about Europe at this time? Do we now have to swallow the bitter pill of turning to China?

  41. this mofo just needs to die. absolute cancer being spewed with every breath he takes.

  42. We should resume nuclear testing to shut both these assholes up for a while.

  43. Holy man. I had this idea pop into my head a couple of weeks back. What if Trump and Putin pull a Hitler/Stalin? Just a sudden peace treaty freeing Russia to take what it likes in Europe, Trump takes NA and the west of Europe is left in kind of a constant termoil due to political interference from both Russia and the US.

    Such a conspiracy theory but like…

  44. JSYK…China and Russia signed a joint arctic agreement recently.

  45. This makes it seems like Trump and Putin had an agreement.
    Trump gives Ukraine to Russia and in return he gets greenland.

  46. Europe has a bigger claim on America. It’s the same as if the UK, France and Spain started talking about taking over their lost lands in North America.

  47. putin is working with trump to help trump take greenland. He creates a fake threat and trump says ” look i am right” and then he moves in to take over greenland. wake up.

  48. “rooted in history” is really a bullshit pretext.

    It’s like saying europe has a claim on Africa and it’s rooted in history
