Summary
JD Vance criticized Denmark for failing to protect Greenland from Russian and Chinese incursions during a visit to the U.S. military base in Pituffik.
While pledging respect for Greenland’s sovereignty, Vance announced increased U.S. naval presence without expanding ground forces.
Trump echoed the need for Greenland’s strategic importance to global security.
Greenland’s new prime minister condemned the visit as disrespectful, and public protests opposed U.S. influence. Trump’s administration continues to push for stronger U.S. involvement in the mineral-rich Arctic region.
Ah, the Russia playbook. Make up a boogie man and claim you’re saving the country from the boogie man. Krasnov is a bit too predictable.
Journalists need to quit acting as uncritical flying monkeys for the fascists’ DARVO tactics.
The US made agreement with Denmark to do this in 1951. Instead, the US has gone from 10000 personel to 200 and closed the majority of their bases. From 17 to 1 base.
This is Danish foreign minister on the subject after it being clear that JD Vance has no idea what he’s talking about
So America already has bases there, and has free rein in its waters. That sounds like having all the benefits and none of the cost of having to have more land. Ah, he wants to strip mine it which he’s not allowed at the moment.
If you want to stop Russian incursions, stop cosying up to them you spineless twats.
Have Russia and China ever threatened Greenland? Because I can only think of one country that actually has.
I am so tired of the fucking usa, wish they would just implode, fuck off, and leave everyone alone.
I live there and basically… Yeah. I mean, it feels like we are on a direct course for implosion.
Sorry the rest of you have to deal with our bullshit.
I have to apologize. Venting is one thing, but I don’t think I really have an excuse for that, so I’m going to leave it there and maybe I’ll learn something. Having said that, the position this has put me in has been a nightmare to say the least. And I know I’m not the only one. The shit I’ve had to do in the last month alone to prepare for possible shtf is insane, and it’s far from over. If it was just me alone, I’d be ok, but it’s not. Just fuck. Sorry.
As another US person, I don’t think you have anything for which you should apologize. Everyone, everywhere, should be angry about what the US is doing - internally and externally. I would never think it’s wrong to say “I wish Nazi Germany had imploded before it became WWII and mass murder”; Nazi US is no different.
It’s terrifying to be here but I don’t think anyone should be quiet about how awful this is.
Hugs to you, friend. I hope we all come out of this okay.
