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.

    Yeah I mean totally, all of that. If you got any idea how to rally a bunch of spineless dumbasses who let every chance to do something slip through their fingers I’m all ears. The politicians opposing Trump seem to wanna sit on their hands until it all magically blows over on its own, and the average citizen is too busy watching reality tv to get off their butts and do anything remotely uncomfortable. I’m living the prophecy of idiocracy and its driving me insane

      I don’t understand Americans and how to motivate them.

      I would hope an actual American would have a better idea about that than this Canadian dude…
