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”.

“This is the dismantling of the entire system of strategic stability in the world that has prevented the use of nuclear weapons since 1945”, he added, as he warned that this would put the world on the brink.
Rogozin is closely involved in developing Russia’s new Sarmat, or Satan-2, apocalypse 208-ton intercontinental silo-launched 15,880mph nuclear missile, which is the size of a 14-storey tower block.
“In real life, this can only be tested once, but it is not certain that anyone will be left to prepare reports afterwards,” he said.
“This is the problem: the US, led by an eccentric, may convince themselves that, finally, thanks to the annexation of Greenland and the deployment there of components of the command and control system for strategic offensive weapons, they have achieved nuclear superiority over Russia and China… This will be the beginning of the end of the world.”
He warned that a future nuclear WW3 will occur in the Arctic, as he emphasized that “the Arctic is the fastest route for delivering nuclear warheads by missiles from the US to Russia and from Russia to the US.”
In December of last year, Rogozin shared an alarming map of what sites Russia would like to target first in the UK.
