"This is especially interesting because it drives a wedge between him and Europe, it undermines the world architecture, and opens up certain opportunities for our foreign policy," MIkheyev said, adding that if Trump "really wants to stop the third world war, the way out is simple: dividing up the world into spheres of influence."

Stanislav Tkachenko, a top academic at the St. Petersburg State University also voiced his support for Trump's discussion of buying Greenland and said that Russia should "thank Donald Trump, who is teaching us a new diplomatic language."

    2. Also the Russians and Chinese are seeing this as a precedent. China can buy Taiwan. Russia can buy back its old soviet empire

    3. And if China offered Taiwan a price it would accept, there's be little controversy.

    4. Greenland belongs to Denmark, dude.
      Look, there has always been one vulnerability to democracy - in the absence of a constitution prohibiting it, a democratically elected government could sell the country. Why not?

    7. Obama got the Peace price before he even did anything in office.
      Then under his watch the Syrians used poison gas, Libya collapsed and China took over the South China sea.
      Trump engineered a massive peace deal between Israel and multiple Arab countries while slowing iran down through threats and sanctions,. But no Peace price for him!
