This is mind-boggling. In what sense is Denmark "not doing its job"? In what sense is it "not being a good ally"? The US, on the other hand, is quite clearly not being a good ally! Take "more territorial interest in Greenland"!? This is taking a leaf out of Putin's playbook.
US Vice President JD Vance: "Denmark, which controls Greenland, is not doing its job and it's not being a good ally. How are we going to solve that problem, solve our national security? If that means we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland, that is what President

I wrote a blog post about an intriguing episode right after the April 2016 escalation, which was recently confirmed by Serzh Sargsyan himself. In this post, I share insights that I had previously written only in Armenian on another social media platform. https://t.co/pQnARTypnr
