Trump is an eccentric, according to Putin propagandist

Russia has issued a chilling new threat if US President Donald Trump takes Greenland and positions nuclear weapons on the island.

According to officials from the Russian Federation, this would mean “the end of the world”, if it happens.

Putin-backing senator for part of occupied Ukraine, Dmitry Rogozin, has said that the “eccentric” American president wants to position his atomic strike forces on the world’s largest island.

And he says Trump intends to do this in order to secure nuclear superiority of the United States over Russia and China.

Rogozin is a former deputy prime minister and ex-head of the Russian Space Agency. He was also once the representative of Kremlin at the NATO headquarters in Brussels.

The Vladimir Putin mouthpiece is also in charge of a military drone unit targeting Ukrainians on the frontline.

And now he claims that Trump’s intentions for Greenland will make all hell break loose.

Rogozin alleges that the potential land grab is linked to the US scheme for a ‘Golden Dome’ missile defence system “in which space, AI, and a layered architecture merge into a single system”.

Recently, Trump has said that he would take Greenland “one way or the other”.

And according to Rogozin, Trump is “not acting erratically but fulfilling the Pentagon's will — to stop negotiating with European allies and wiping their noses, to seize Greenland by force and turn it into a platform for deploying means of both nuclear attack and missile defence interception of Russian ICBMs”.
