Trump's failed efforts at acquiring the Arctic territory has prompted a diplomatic spat between the U.S. and Denmark.

The Kremlin has mocked President Donald Trump's proposed purchase of the Danish territory of Greenland, suggesting that Russia would not engage in"shopping" of that kind.

Though sparsely-populated, Greenland is rich in mineral wealth and occupies a strategically valuable position within the Arctic circle. World powers are increasingly looking towards the Arctic, where new sea lanes are opening and natural resources becoming available as a result of melting sea ice caused by climate change.

Last weekend, Trump confirmed media reports that he was interested in buying Greenland from Denmark."Essentially it's a large real estate deal,", suggesting that"a lot of things could be done" to ensure the deal, possibly including a trade for some U.S. territory.

Year right!🤦🏾‍♂️🙈🙉🙊

LeaBlackMiami I’m starting to see that Trump’s delusional world is starting to crumble.

The Russians continue to nuke themselves and they think they have room to mock anyone?

Ukraine

No we just take

No, they keep thinking about how they got taken concerning Alaska!

Yeah, Russia you simply just take the territory .

No they just invade and take country’s over? And weren’t they responsible for putting this man in charge?

Russia would use its “ Contractors” to subvert and create a rival faction in the country then take over the political system. Trump is not that bright.

Fuck no they don’t. They just annex what they want. VladimirPuitn

But they do raid the neighborhood grocery store...

No, the Russian just annex what they want.

No they don’t go shopping they roll in tanks

Really? Cause Russia bought America

Russia is a land grabber..

BuyGreenland

Probably too busy poisoning the world with mismanaging nuclear power. Putin doesn’t deserve to use nuclear fire.

Good one Vlad.

We take

Definitely Putin uses a different process to 'buy' territories he likes... He's probably glad trump won't be stopping him now!

AgentOrange has already bought out the Convict Colony Island of Australia, ozcrimenews Peter90666913 AgentSmith90210

No, they send Green Men. Same stuff in different package. And Russia doesn't have the Money. During the last 5 years the income of the people has sinked year after year.

True. Russia just roll in with tanks and soldiers.

What goes wrong with mind of the President of the US. Thinks buying a country is like buying real estate?

Russia is just enjoying what they have done to America by putting this clown in the WH.

No Russia prefers the brazen outright stealing of countries.

Are they still hurt about Alaska?

Who would expect an offer on SM for outright purchase of a part of sovereign nation? But then wid POTUS Trump arnd, expect the unexpected, always.. USA Denmark GreenlandPurchase

No they just do hostile takeovers Crimea Russia Putin

The quote about it being a real estate deal shows his lack of understanding of international affairs and his actions demonstrate he had no idea how world leaders conduct themselves

They could not afford it!

Oof. Russia should probably keep their mouth shut on this subject...

Russia doesn’t buy other countries, just invades them.

MOTRPolitics1 Yes, instead of shopping at the store Russia just burglarizes the goddam place. Like how they went in and annex territories from unsuspecting sovereign states, like Ukraine and oh, yeah, the US.

😅That's a good one!

No, they just invade countries and annex portions of their territories.

Do what China does...buy their industry and manufacturers?

The whole country?

PUTIN THE RITE ANSWER.

Yeah they buy Trump’s real estate instead.

The world has been laughing at Trump from day one along with the dumbasses that voted for him... 😂

Right. Russia just invades and takes countries.

Trumpsterfire obsequiously know-tows to Putin while Putin mercilessly mocks him behind his back (as do all other world leaders). Yep, making America great again alright.

Russia doesn’t shop. Russia seizes.

Rut roh. Putin effectively called our leader 'absurd.' If Kim Jong Un and Duterte do the same, someone's gonna have a grumpy time in Biarritz.

No they just invade and kill - see Ukraine

Russia declined Denmark's offer to buy the US and return it to the American people..........Breaking News!!

No they just invade it.. Crimea

Update on what's happening at the US/Mexico border, please. How many children are 'missing'?

Well they have a point. What the Russian do it take it over.

Nope just invasions and land grabs, murder over money.

I'm sure Trump will be attacking Putin like he attacked the Danish Prime Minister when she mocked his idea..... Nah just kidding😂😂😂

Hey Russia....how much did we pay for Alaska again...I forget?

realDonaldTrump

Russia just “annexes” independent countries with little green men. Why buy when you can take?

Cold

He can be sure Putin is not on his side!

Nope, “shoplifting”is not considered shopping.

Stop Talking .. Please .. More better for all us ..

Didn’t we buy the Virgin Islands, Guam, and Peurto Rico?

Praising Russia, caca network?

sundene Yep, Mother Russia just straight up invades and takes what they want consequences be damned. I mean it’s heartless and stupid but that’s what they do. Trump word-salads his way into failure after blunder after embarrassment.

Right, you just invade with 'deniable' forces.

Ever Putin is laughing at him

Maybe he will realize(that was a stupid assumption) that Putin thinks he is a fool. Why would he realize that or anything now.

Armed Robbery is more Russia's style.

'We don't buy. We just take.'

NEWSWEEK/TWEET WRITER CONGRATULATIONAGAINYOU WON.....

The puppet master thinks his puppet the fool, I'm so suprised

Of course not, Putin will just invade.

The world Mocks Trump, he is a joke!!! A walking talking Mascot for America....

Better to take it by force, I guess.

Russia doesn't engage in international shopping? Well, what about 'shoplifting' Crimea? 🙂

Right. You just walk in and take what you want.

It were Russians who sold Alaska to United States at $ 72 millions only!!!

ahahaha!!! commentators accusing Russia of annexing Crimea( which was already Russian) forget how they annexed Texas and other southern territories.

Odds Trump attacks Russia for mocking him like he attacked Denmark? Anyone?

Annexation is more polite!

Have you heard of alaska

They steal it the old fashioned way, with psy ops, little green men and annexation.

Russia just invades & takes

No, they just annex the place they want.....

Russia is such a joke. True, you don’t engage in international shopping in that way, you just roll tanks in and take shit (ie Georgia, Crimea). By the way, stop playing with big boy toys before you pollute the entire earth with radioactive material.

we just take it or blow it up

And this GOP remains silent & complicit by placing their dangerous emperor before all Americans. 😞

Annex or stfu? That’s their policy.

When Russia doesn’t understand their own history

Of course they don’t buy it… They just forcefully take it like to communist bastard they are… Ukraine

StayFree they all mock 'The Chosen One' Bc he's a Fool.

It's easy for the Kremlin to mock their lackey Trump. He would never 'bite the hand that feeds him'.

Russia invades and takes what it wants. Who are they kidding? Ask Crimea.....
