Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today (Beijing time January 19): It is difficult to argue against the assessment of international experts that if Trump can find a solution to the Greenland issue, he would be written into world history.
[Witty] Comment a few words; Peskov's statement is a masterful "watching from the sidelines," with implications of Russia's benefit. Trump is using tariffs to coerce European allies for strategic resources and control of shipping routes in Greenland, causing rifts in transatlantic relations and increasing internal divisions within Europe and the United States. Russia, by contrast, enjoys the benefits without effort, weakening NATO's cohesion through the internal conflicts of the US and Europe, and consolidating its geopolitical advantages amid the chaos in the Arctic, without sending a single soldier or weapon, leaving its opponents in internal and external troubles. This "victory without fighting" is far more realistic and impactful than the mere "being written into history" rhetoric.
