J. D. Vance claims allies are fine but... don't be stupid.
He is talking about the Danes and how they joined the coalition after 9/11 and many died in the Middle East because the Danes were part of NATO and they punched above their weight to support America. And now they are dumb for wanting territorial integrity including Greenland. Did Vance also explain that the Danes had let the US put as many military bases as they needed on Greenland over the years? That the Danes are all for mineral development in joint ventures? I give it 10 months for the fever of fear to break in South America and Europe before those people in those countries fight Trump (Miller) with everything they got at every turn. It took America 10 months to do it. They see the light. Americans are fighting on the beaches and on the landing grounds as Churchill would say. Probably why Trump has pivoted to bullying outside of America because he is losing at home and he can't get the left to appease him anymore. The rest of the world will soon follow. ~ Applegrove
JD Vance: "They'll say 'we fought together in World War 2' or 'we fought together in the War on Terrorism.' We're grateful for that. We love having these allies. But just because you did something smart 25 years ago doesn't mean you can't do something dumb now."
