    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.

            Denmark has not kept pace and devoted the resources necessary to keep this base, to keep our troops, and in my view, to keep the people of Greenland safe from a lot of very aggressive incursions from Russia, from China and other nations," Vance said. He gave no details of the alleged incursions.
            The U.S. vice president said Russia, China and other nations are taking an "extraordinary interest" in Arctic passageways, naval routes and minerals in the region and the U.S. will invest more resources, including naval ships and military icebreakers that will have a greater presence in the country.

            It sounds like there is one one group doing more aggressive incursions.

              So America already has bases there, and has free rein in its waters. That sounds like having all the benefits and none of the cost of having to have more land. Ah, he wants to strip mine it which he’s not allowed at the moment.

              If you want to stop Russian incursions, stop cosying up to them you spineless twats.

                Ironic. We (USA) can't keep safe from Russia or China either. And that's because of willful neglect.

                        I have to apologize. Venting is one thing, but I don't think I really have an excuse for that, so I'm going to leave it there and maybe I'll learn something. Having said that, the position this has put me in has been a nightmare to say the least. And I know I'm not the only one. The shit I've had to do in the last month alone to prepare for possible shtf is insane, and it's far from over. If it was just me alone, I'd be ok, but it's not. Just fuck. Sorry.

                            As another US person, I don't think you have anything for which you should apologize. Everyone, everywhere, should be angry about what the US is doing - internally and externally. I would never think it's wrong to say "I wish Nazi Germany had imploded before it became WWII and mass murder"; Nazi US is no different.

                            It's terrifying to be here but I don't think anyone should be quiet about how awful this is.

                            Hugs to you, friend. I hope we all come out of this okay.

                                As a citizen of fucking USA, I keep expecting to wake up one morning with bombs being dropped on us. And frankly, I fully welcome the bombs. Whatever keeps my family from reliving concentration camps.

                                I've often wondered how I would have acted during the Nazi invasion of Poland. Apparently, the answer is "become paralyzed with fear and thank my luck every day that they didn't come for me."

                                I've spent so much of my life trying to honor my family who died in the Holocaust by teaching kids about their lives and explaining how complacency will allow it to happen again. Yet here I am, metaphorically hiding under a blanket telling myself "but if the monster comes to get me, you know I'll get them then!"

                                I hate living through all this and grown to hate myself over the snivelling inactive role I play.

                                    Looks like they updated the title: "Vance accuses Denmark of not keeping Greenland safe from Russia, China"

                                    But really, journalists don't need to pretend any of this is legitimate. Add a "dubiously" in there. This is obviously not a sincere complaint. Stop assuming good faith just because he's got an official title.

                                      I doubt any countries are lining up to take in the average U.S. citizen

                                        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.

                                        Have Russia and China ever threatened Greenland? Because I can only think of one country that actually has.

                                          As a citizen of fucking USA, I keep expecting to wake up one morning with bombs being dropped on us. And frankly, I fully welcome the bombs. Whatever keeps my family from reliving concentration camps.

                                          I've often wondered how I would have acted during the Nazi invasion of Poland. Apparently, the answer is "become paralyzed with fear and thank my luck every day that they didn't come for me."

                                          I've spent so much of my life trying to honor my family who died in the Holocaust by teaching kids about their lives and explaining how complacency will allow it to happen again. Yet here I am, metaphorically hiding under a blanket telling myself "but if the monster comes to get me, you know I'll get them then!"

                                          I hate living through all this and grown to hate myself over the snivelling inactive role I play.

                                          I keep waiting for mass resistance to kick off so I can join in, but it never does.
