Vice President JD Vance sharply criticized Denmark and other European allies during his visit to Greenland on Friday, as the Trump administration continues to push U.S. ownership of the semi-autonomous territory.

Speaking to servicemembers at Pituffik Space Base, a U.S. Space Force base on the northwestern coast of Greenland, Vance argued that Greenlanders would be better off being under the protection of the U.S. than under Denmark.

“Our message to Denmark is very simple — you have not done a good job by the people of Greenland," Vance said. "You have under-invested in the people of Greenland and you have under-invested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful land mass."

Days after President Donald Trump said that the U.S. “would go as far as we have to” to take ownership of territory, Vance made a pitch to the people of Greenland: "I think that you’d be a lot better coming under the United States security umbrella than you have been under Denmark's security umbrella." ........................................

3. Seriously

Vance said to the Greenland people, “What are our options, other than taking Greenland or “LET RUSSIA TAKE IT???”
So they are concerned if Russia is TAKING sovereign ally territory?
GOD damned the muther fucking traitorous ass holes.

5. WTH s he talking about? Have we taken good care of Puerto Rico? Our Native Americans?

Greenland doesn’t want us, nor does Canada, Panama or anywhere else. We don’t have a healthcare system, education, climate challenge policies to offer. They see how we take care of the electrical grid in the states and Puerto Rico so why would they want us to take them over?

[RazorbackExpat]

6. Trump has totally lost it

Greenland has been part of the Danish monarchy for hundreds of years and is currently a semi-autonomous free state under the aegis of the EU and (hopefully) NATO. The only threats to Greenland are coming from Trump and his gang of idiots.

10. You State The Truth

"The only threats to Greenland are coming from Trump and his gang of idiots."

7. Nobody except Trump and Putin give a shit what

Vance says and I am not even sure they do.

[Timewas]

8. LOL

He would not recognize a "good Job" if it slapped him upside the head

[turbinetree]

9. Hey Vance do you know how long the Air Force as been in Greenland you twit.............

I remember when my dad was stationed there taking care of the rockets...............for missile defenses........you are a fucking idiot............and a disgrace to ever have been in the service.............

[tanyev]

11. Yeah, look at all the uninvited yobs that showed up there today.

😒

12. JD Vance: "The president said we have to have Greenland...We cannot just ignore this place. We cannot just ignore the pres

HEY JD--Trumpy sent you on a fools mission!!

18. Jeez, sometimes I wonder if a bunch of them all reincarnated together.

And I never really bought into reincarnation.

[thought crime]

25. That sent a chill up my spine... /nt

[tulipsandroses]

13. Even if that is the case, why is it any of your fucking business? When it comes to Ukraine, RWers claim " We cannot be

the world police". So why is it your damn business then if Denmark does not take care of the people of Greenland?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. Speak for yourself couch fucker

[Ray Bruns]

15. Well so far the only people threatening Greenland is you and stinky.

“I think that you’d be a lot better coming under the United States security umbrella than you have been under Denmark's security umbrella.”

[Progressive dog]

16. Crimnals are running our government.

This is extortion.

[love_katz]

19. Extortion. Exactly 💯.

He sounds just like a Mafia boss, selling a protection racket.

[cstanleytech]

17. Greenland becoming part of the US makes no sense. I personally think it might be part of a distraction for something.

Like say a sudden invasion of Mexico?

[thought crime]

26. Very possibly.

Watch the Greenland show while we change election laws, etc.

[cstanleytech]

33. Yup use any provocation to send send in the military.

[Sneederbunk]

20. NATO country threatening another NATO country.

Not a good look.

[OldBaldy1701E]

21. Every other NATO country replying that they will group and defend would be great.

Unfortunately, some of them are still too far gone to realize that the US is now the bad guy.

Does anyone remember when the rethugs were against 'globalization'? I guess it was just that they were not the ones in charge. When one gets to be the dic-tater, and wants to run the entire world, then it is okay.

[MayReasonRule]

22. Fox News is now engaged in a 24 hour operation to convince Americans that invading Greenland is normal.

Since Denmark and Greenland are part of NATO, seizing Greenland will call in Article 5 and put all of our traditional allies in the enemy column.

Is this what anyone voted for??

23. Kiss the Ring JD

embarrassing and disgusting.

[blue-wave]

24. Instead of acting like a mafia don

and attempting to steal the natural resources and the countries of our once great allies, how about NEGOTIATING with them for what you want? It's called playing nice on the playground. It is clear from recent news reports that neither Greenland, Denmark, Ukraine or Canada is willing to give up their sovereignty. Take your head out of (fill in the blank here ______) and start acting like a grown up.

[dchill]

27. Know who else has...

'not done a good job' at keeping their country secure? Who has, in fact, (deliberately?) made their own country FAR LESS SECURE? Uh huh. That's right.

[bucolic_frolic]

28. I take that to mean Denmark cannot repel our invasion?

Is that what he said?

[Lovie777]

30. NATO can................

[surfered]

29. Well, the Trump Administration has not done a good job of keeping US secrets secure

[ananda]

32. I'm not sure who Vance is actually talking to about this.

No free country is even listening, that's for sure.
