Vance slams Denmark for not keeping Greenland safe from Russia, China

No. I'm telling you that "They paid almost 3 percent" is bullshit. I'm telling you that you're lying. I make no claim for anything else other than you're full of shit. You're making shit up to complain about "orange man" and not looking at what's actually made them pay. Which was Russian aggression.

And no, you can't just take the average when there's a clear pivot point of an event. Someone had to make up the shortfall in the pre-Russian invasion time-frame. That wasn't just free. They were average 1.6% in the 6 years prior to Russian invasion of Ukraine. Well below the benchmark.

But wait! Turns out I copied and pasted the wrong table... I grabbed it from a page down because I was an idiot and scrolled too far!

Here's the real data..
Denmark 1.15 1.11 1.15 1.14 1.28 1.30 1.38 1.30 1.37 2.01 2.37

1.556% as an average... with pre-invasion looking closer to 1.2%

So even now they don't hit the benchmark even after Russian invasion. So not only are you really full of shit, but you're SUPER full of shit. They've never paid anything close to 3%. Let alone actually maintaining their 2%.

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

Same as it ever is. Their Russian handlers and their mouth breathing, Nazi loving supporters.

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...

It's a racket, a stick up job. "Nice country you've got, it would be a shame if anything happened to it. We can help you keep it safe, for a price."

All I can say is that it isn't all of us.

The south have been like this since the founding, we took away their slaves and they never forgave us.

Unfortunately social media means they aren't contained in their hell hole anymore, and we no longer have the strength to stop them.

Also, why do they get to talk like that when they're threatening their owm neighbours and former ally.

[kulunkelboom@lemm.ee]

Vance says whatever he's told to say.

[rektdeckard@lemmy.world]

Yes. That's the very definition of a protection racket.
