He also claimed the US wants “to seize Greenland by force and turn it into a platform for deploying means of both nuclear attack and missile defence interception” of Russian missiles, adding that “this is the dismantling of the entire system of strategic stability in the world that has prevented the use of nuclear weapons since 1945.”
In an unequivocally frightening warning where he opined that the U.S. being “led by an eccentric” might lead them to believe that taking over Greenland would result in “nuclear superiority over Russia and China”, Rogozin said: “This will be the beginning of the end of the world.”
The Russia senator is said to have been involved in the development of Russia’s new 208-ton inter-continental silo-launched 15,880mph nuclear missile, known as Sarmat or Satan-2.
Describing the apocalyptic capabilities of the purported 14-storey-tall weapon, he said: “In real life, this can only be tested once, but it is not certain that anyone will be left to prepare reports afterwards.”
It should be noted that there is already a U.S. military presence on Greenland which once consisted of multiple facilities.
Currently only Pituffik Space Base, in the north of the Arctic territory, is manned by U.S. personnel, but Rasmus Sinding Søndergaard, an analyst on ties between Denmark and the U.S., told Newsweek that Trump could instead rejuvenate its old Cold War bases to meet America’s security needs, thereby eliminating the need for any sort of purchase or, God forbid, a hostile takeover.
