Clip from the interview on Fox

Kid that wants to take everyone else's toys, after being told no by a grown-up: "I hate you! You're not my friend anymore!"

[meldrik@lemmy.wtf]

The amount of FUD is insane and I’m afraid people are gonna eat it all right up!

https://www.berlingske.dk/politik/new-poll-shows-overwhelming-majority-of-greenlanders-reject-trump

Only 6 percent of Greenlanders want to leave the Danish Realm in favour of the US, and 9 percent are undecided.

The US can just build more bases in Greenland, instead of closing them down.

I don’t think this is about national security. This is about exploiting the natural resources in Greenland.

[nanook@lemm.ee]

Always has been, also for Denmark

[whatamlemmy@lemmy.world]

It's fascist imperialism, because the US is a fascist dictatorship now, and should be treated as such.

[jeebaichow@lemmy.world]

Shut up Vance. Nobody cares what the vice says.

[hendrik@palaver.p3x.de]

There’s something that I think a lot of people don’t understand about America. They're currently making a lot of unwise economic decisions and destabilizing the world. They're not a good ally.

So you have to ask yourself how we should solve that problem, solve our national security, and if that means that we have to invade the USA, that’s what <insert country here> should do.

[redex68@lemmy.world]

the Danes don’t let them develop and explore

Lmao, it's not the Danes that aren't letting the resources be explored, it's the Greenlanders themselves

I sincerely hate snow. It's boring. It's white. The sun reflecting off it can burn your retinas. It's wet. You have to wear your entire wardrobe, at the same time, and still be cold. It sticks to your face. It piles too high, you have to shovel it, just to start again, when you're just donne.

But for this?

Get me a sled, a team of dogs and a club. I'm more than willing to go to Greenland and stand against the american invader to defend my fellow european.

Can I get to sample that weird cured shark while I'm there? Or am I getting my references mixed up?

[skua@kbin.earth]

The weird shark is an Iceland thing, although confusingly it is made from Greenland shark. It's called hákarl

[qyron@sopuli.xyz]

I apologize for the confusion. The animals are also endangered, to what I know, right?

So... what else can I sample in Greenland? I'm fond of unusual cullinary.

[melchior@feddit.org]

And this should explain very well, what the US understands to be an "ally".

[davidgarcia@feddit.nl]

the US should just be honest and start calling their "allies" subs instead

[foni@lemm.ee]

We need European armed forces for yesterday

[adam_y@lemmy.world]

They are not doing their country right, so we have to take it over and fix it, says nation where eggs are prohibitively expensive.

[bstix@feddit.dk]

He keeps saying that USA has an interest in it because they have an interest in it.

There's no reasoning except for daddy Trump saying he wants it.

[spacehooks@reddthat.com]

O no the 55k people not happy. How about the tens of millions in murica that are not happy or can Canada start taking those northern states?

[theobvioussolution@kbin.melroy.org]

That's ok, the ones who don't want to join will get deported as illegal immigrants once they barge in. That, or put into remote reservations in land nobody wants.

[trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works]

Denmark might not be a good ally to the US in Mr Vance's bigoted little mind, but for what the US is to Denmark and Greenland, there is a far better term describing a state that wants to annex another state's territory: Enemy.
