Vance uses half-truths to lecture a European audience well aware of the threat of authoritarian rule https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/world/vances-speech-upsets-european-leaders-intl-latam/index.html But the real figure looming large across the room he feverishly addressed was Kremlin head Vladimir Putin.

They are prized natural resource land masses that, in the hands of Russia, give Putin control of the entire arctic polar region and beyond, expanding Russian territory in a bold new direction. We don't need them. Russia wants them. And this new US government is very interested in pleasing Russia. #Russia #Trussia #USA #Greenland #Canada #Arctic #geopolitics #expansion #dominion #world image
