Pushkov declared the inability of the United States to maintain world domination
On January 12, the head of the Federation Council's Information Policy commission, Alexei Pushkov, announced the inability of the United States to maintain its global dominance.
"The United States is no longer able to achieve world domination. [American President Donald] Trump proceeds from what he considers the most important priorities of the United States on the world stage, and is ready to achieve his goals by the most brutal methods," he wrote on his Telegram channel.
Pushkov clarified that the priority of the United States at the moment is to turn the Western Hemisphere into an impregnable fortress, which is confirmed by the new National Security Strategy. According to the senator, Trump's claims to Greenland fit into the same logic.
On January 4, the head of the White House said that it would be beneficial for the European Union from the point of view of defense if the United States owned Greenland. The head of the government of Greenland, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, indicated on the same day that he considered Washington's "repetitive rhetoric" regarding the island to be disrespectful and unacceptable. At the same time, on January 9, the American leader noted that NATO would not exist if he were not president.
European Commissioner for Defense and Space Andrius Kubilius said on January 12 that the US military operation to capture Greenland, if launched, would mean the end for the North Atlantic Alliance.
On January 12, the press service of Republican Congressman from the United States Randy Fine reported that a bill "on the annexation and statehood of Greenland" had been introduced. It was clarified that the law on the annexation and status of Greenland as a state gives Trump the authority to take all necessary actions to annex or acquire Greenland as a US territory.
All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
