The Arctic "Chessboard" just got a lot more dangerous. As President Trump doubles down on his plan to acquire Greenland "by hook or by crook," the Kremlin has officially entered the chat.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his top envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, are publicly reveling in what they call the "collapse of Western unity." While Moscow officially recognizes Greenland as Danish territory, their strategy is clear: use the U.S.-Denmark rift to fracture NATO from within.
๐ Why This Matters to the Markets:
Strategic Choke Point: Greenland controls Arctic shipping lanes that could slash Asia-Europe travel time by 40%.
Resource War: The island holds a "treasure trove" of rare-earth minerals (neodymium, dysprosium) and uraniumโessential for the next generation of tech and defense.
NATO Crisis: Denmark has rejected the sale, and European powers (France, Germany, Norway) have sent symbolic troops to the island. Trump responded with a 10% tariff threat on those allies.
The "Daddy" Comment: Envoy Kirill Dmitriev mocked Europeโs reliance on the U.S., warning EU leaders not to "provoke their daddy" (Trump) or face even higher economic penalties.
๐ท๐บ Moscowโs Play:
Russia is playing a double game. By backing Trumpโs "right" to pursue Greenland, they are forcing a wedge between Washington and Brussels, potentially gaining massive leverage in upcoming Ukraine negotiations.
The Bottom Line: We are witnessing a historic shift in Arctic sovereignty that could redefine global trade routes and military alliances forever.
