The "invasion of Greenland" is a scheme by Trump and Putin?

If Putin was sitting in the Oval Office, instead of Trump, he could not do any more damage than what is being done today.

One of Putin's goals for many years was to tear apart NATO. Perhaps he thought he could accomplish that by invading Ukraine, but that only united them. There was not much more that he could do, other than to interfere with their elections and flood their countries with refugees.

But Trump? He could tear apart NATO and no one would blame Putin or Russia. He could pick one of the least populated countries in the world and threaten to take them over. That would tear apart NATO. They would not want to go to war with the United States, their longtime ally. They would ignore Article 5 of the NATO Charter.

Is this the scheme by Putin and Trump?

Destroy NATO and the alliance between democratic countries.
Smash all of it.

China, Russia, Saudi rise to power and are the global superpower.
