Greenland is too close to Russia’s north border for Russians to stay indifferent when Trump threatens to take over the island. You might expect a revival of old Cold War era fears: “The U.S. is getting closer to our borders. They’re going to attack us.” But that’s not what’s really happening. Surprisingly, the old rivalry…
In Putin’s Russia, the most dangerous people are not opposition leaders or foreign spies.They are the men who pour the concrete for new apartment blocks, sweep the streets at dawn, and deliver your groceries at night.
