    I still want to know about how a member of leadership from a foreign country could visit a host country, insult the host, attempt to make a propaganda film to support the forced annexation of that country, and repeatedly state their intentions to take the country by force if necessary and not have it be considered a declaration of war.

    Seriously, if this were literally any other time in human history or any other country involved, bombs would have been dropping by now.

      Declarations of war are formal documents delivered by a foreign minister to an ambassador and are legally binding.

      Some prat running their mouth, even if they’re a senior governmental official, has never been a legal declaration of war.

        You seriously think that any other world leader in history wouldn’t consider what Vance did a declaration of war because he didn’t file the right paperwork?

        At the very, very least, he would have been militarily escorted out of the country and had his base seized.

    Vance is full of shit.

    Denmark has kept it’s promises and patrolled the entire area for all these years. The latest encounter with Russians was by he Danish patrols. They all were.

    USA used to have 6000 soldiers on Greenland. Today they have 150. USA has done jack shit with their military bases on Greenland, except for leaving behind environmental disasters, which Denmark has paid for cleaning up.

    Is Denmark not treating the Greenlanders right? Maybe, but how will they be treated by USA? Will they even get to vote in American elections? I fucking doubt it.

      how will they be treated by USA?

      Women’s reproductive healthcare ban, end of universal healthcare, elimination of science in schools, state religion, child labor, concentration camps for protesters, end of free speech, slave labor wages and rigged elections.

      Not only that, iirc Denmark offered the US a much larger military presence on Greenland, and the Trump admin denied the offer. I think it even included some mining claims. Still not enough. It really seems like the goal is nothing short of full territorial control. But the reason appears murky. Like if it is saftey, why is larger military presence not enough? It really does appear to be a lie.

    Denmark has a movement to buy California from America. As an American citizen, I fully endorse this concept.

    What in the fuck even is this Greenland thing? There is obviously no way that any one would have ever taken it seriously so why even put it out there?

    Is this reaction fog of war they are injecting into the media narrative to obscure the fact they are running disappearance/ concentration camps?

      Sometimes I think they’re trying to scare up NATO spending, but they’re doing it in an entirely pyrrhic way.

      Mostly I think they have a 1970 RISK level understanding of the world and do not understand how alliances work.

      They talk about geopolitics like they’re 14 and think everything is zero sum, lacking even the most basic elements is game theory and economics.

    During his visit to Greenland, Vance added, “We can’t just ignore the president’s desires.”

    yes. yes we fucking well can.

    Typical bully behavior, beat up on the small kid, who cant defend himself. We used to be the big kid who stood up for the smaller bullied kids. Now we’re the bully. It makes me sick.
