J.D. Vance lashes out at Denmark: 'Not a good ally'
-
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?
-
The weird shark is an Iceland thing, although confusingly it is made from Greenland shark. It's called hákarl
-
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.
-
And this should explain very well, what the US understands to be an "ally".
-
the US should just be honest and start calling their "allies" subs instead
-
-
They are not doing their country right, so we have to take it over and fix it, says nation where eggs are prohibitively expensive.
-
-
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?
-
-
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.
-
The Musk cuck wants attention too hahaha
-
This is not about natural resources or national security, but Russian influence in the US government, and trying to normalize imperialism.
-
Well he did mention the resources..
-
Yup. Rare earth metals are profitable, but ecologically apocalyptic. They don't want their island to become an ecological disaster zone.
-
The resources have not been mined because it's not financially feasible, yet.
China who are otherwise masters of long term planning discarded the idea about 15 years ago. They wanted to invest in Greenland by building airports and make a transport hub on Greenland for both cargo and passengers in exchange for mining permissions. They backed out because it's simply not a good business.
Despite the ice melting, it's going to take a long time for it to be worth the effort. Perhaps 30-50 years or so, assuming they're still worth anything in the future and if transport can be done cheaply by boats.
Donald Trump would be long gone by then anyway. -
"Dump em in a crevasse, it'll spit them out in 10, 20 years"
-
Strengthening the alliance by going onto a known propaganda lie factory with more lies and insults about them. Great strategy.
-
Jesus that’s some scary dictator / aggressor ready talk, holy crap.
