NATO Collapse? Lavrov Points to "Greenland Crisis" as Breaking Point

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday delivered a scathing assessment of Western diplomacy in his annual review of 2025, accusing the United States of executing a "brutal armed invasion" of Venezuela that resulted in the seizure of President Nicolas Maduro. Speaking at the Russian Foreign Ministry, Lavrov also warned of rising militarism in Germany and Japan, citing Chancellor Friedrich Merz's call for the German army to become Europe's strongest and Tokyo's discussions on acquiring "offensive military potential" and reconsidering its non-nuclear status. The veteran diplomat further highlighted deepening fissures within the Western alliance, pointing to the "Greenland crisis" as a potential threat to NATO's preservation and describing U.S. President Donald Trump's foreign policy shifts as a "great shock" to European leaders. #lavrov, #russia, #venezuela, #maduro, #germany, #japan, #nato, #greenland, #trump, #geopolitics, #breakingnews, #worldwar3, #nuclear, #irancrisis, #foreignpolicy, #moscow, #usinvasion, #chancellormerz, #kajakallas, #2026
