J.D. Vance lashes out at Denmark: 'Not a good ally'

[tiger@sh.itjust.works]

Jesus that’s some scary dictator / aggressor ready talk, holy crap.

[disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world]

The second the US attempts to take Greenland we’ll be sanctioned to oblivion by the treaty we helped create. It’s beyond humiliating, but absolutely necessary.

[comment105@lemm.ee]

We're either going to see the EU/NATO lay flat while USA takes territory, or we're going to see USA annex and invade EU territory and be met with war.

Probably the former, but it won't be good.

Vance is also intentionally ignoring the fact that 85% of Greenlanders were negative to Americans seizing their country. He throws out the unhappy 55,000 Greenlanders speculation as if they haven't already been asked about the situation directly. He does not care what the Greenlanders think, he just wants to seize Greenland.

Honestly I hope we'll see neither of those scenarios but in the hypothetical event of a US invasion, the EU project would fall apart if it wasn't met with a direct answer.

I certainly hope this is just big talk of a delusional megalomaniac who wants to be emperor and some vice president with an intellectual impairment chiming in to either please him and lick boots, or because this is some elaborate strategy to spread fear and ask way too much, and then get a better "compromise". But yeah, sad to see the civilized world becoming smaller. I hope we stay strong, don't give in and in the end the good will prevail. We're going to find out either way.

[comment105@lemm.ee]

These next few decades will suck at least as much as the ones 100 years ago.

I get the feeling we'll let the fascists win this time.

[captainlezbian@lemmy.world]

Denmark needs nukes

[captainlezbian@lemmy.world]

I'd love to be liberated by Denmark

[hendrik@palaver.p3x.de]

Not the worst choice. They're the second-happiest country in the world. They have freedom, look down on bigotry. They have nice pastry...

[obviouslynotbanana@lemmy.world]

But what would the Swedes do when the little pond freezes over next time!?

[know_not_scotty_does@lemmy.world]

It's the same rhetoric that Russia has used to annex land. "They aren't happy, the people voted and supported us" and "they have always been Russian, the land was Russia's historically. We are just taking our land back"

[darkfuture@lemmy.world]

As an American citizen I can say that this dipshit freak only speaks for the dumbest among us. This guy's daddy is going to make America lose all its allies. So I don't think this loser should be talking about this subject.

[njm1314@lemmy.world]

Oh yeah, forgot about this guy. As did everybody else.

[hanrahan@slrpnk.net]

look down on bigotry.

Wot ? They're even more antiimmigrant and anti-muslim then the US. Look a ltttle deeper. They appear unified becase its basically the KKK, all agreeing on the same thing.

[hendrik@palaver.p3x.de]

I was more referring to religion, discrimination, being open toward sexuality, reproductive rights, gender equality... But yeah, you're right. Immigration is a bit of a strange one. I forgot about that. And I lack the background knowledge to understand what's going on with that.

"There are probably 330,000,000 people living in The United States who are not actually happy with the American government,” J.D. Vance fails to admit.

[corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca]

Sit down, Polievre.

[x00z@lemmy.world]

God, these fucking American politicians are the definition of vomit.

Fuckoff Vance.

[bitchkat@lemmy.world]

So, just because some residents aren't happy with Denmark, that means they would be happy with the USA? Lol.

[theacharnian@lemmy.ca]

Bro, in the US-Denmark relationship, you're saying WITH A STRAIGHT FACE that DENMARK is the problematic one? Bro.
