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.
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
Vance says whatever he’s told to say.
But who can keep them safe from the Nazis in America?
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.
Who exactly is the intended audience?
Same as it ever is. Their Russian handlers and their mouth breathing, Nazi loving supporters.
IDK man. they seemed to keep the Russian assets out from their recent publicity tour.
They paid almost 3 percent and now are upping it TO 3 percent of their total gdp on defense. They are in line with it.
Vance and trump are so ego based and dumb af.
What incursions would those be, JD?
The DARVO ones.
Ironic. We (USA) can’t keep safe from Russia or China either. And that’s because of willful neglect.
Journalists need to quit acting as uncritical flying monkeys for the fascists’ DARVO tactics.
Can Greenland’s leaders tell our idiots in charge to fuck themselves? Make that an official statement too
