Visiting Greenland, Vance tells Denmark: 'You have not done a good job'

Vance accuses Denmark of underinvesting in Greenland as Trump presses for US takeover of the island (Associated Press)

NUUK, Greenland (AP) — U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Friday that Denmark has "underinvested" in Greenland’s security and demanded that Denmark change its approach as President Donald Trump continues to talk of taking over the Danish territory.

The pointed remarks came as Vance visited U.S. troops on Pituffik Space Base on the mineral-rich, strategically critical island.

“Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland,” Vance said. “You have underinvested in the people of Greenland, and you have underinvested in the security architecture of this incredible, beautiful landmass filled with incredible people. That has to change.”

Vance said the U.S. has “no option” but to take a significant position to ensure the security of Greenland as he encouraged a push in Greenland for independence from Denmark.

Shady Vance rips a page out of the MF47's playbook. When visiting dignitaries do this nonsense, the host usually puts them on the next plane home.

1. And every American, in rare unision, says, "Oh, shut the fuck up, you idiot."

[birdographer]

10. How very true!

Granted, he is not stupider than donny, but he comes damn close. He’s like someone who has not spent much time with people and he just doesn’t know how to behave, what to say. Equally embarrassing.

[SheltieLover]

12. This! 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆

[forgotmylogin]

39. Put Vance on an ice floe and give him a push. n/t

[Scrivener7]

40. With a hungry polar bear.

[yorkster]

57. Go with the floe...jackass

[Blues Heron]

2. unbridled ugly american arrogance on parade

[GoodRaisin]

3. I wondered what he planned to there. Stupid me, should have known.

He went there to begin sewing discourse. Of course! That’s what the nazis always do!

[WarGamer]

28. sowing discord... meaning planting seeds to grow into chaos or problems

[Cirsium]

32. Sewing discord

Stitching together completely unrelated things to make a false narrative.

Alternately, one seamstress set against the other.

[mucholderthandirt]

43. LOL This is funny. We call ourselves "sewists" now, due to the confusion of "sewer".

[Cirsium]

47. Too dark

It's too dark in the sewer to do any sewing, isn't it?

[GoodRaisin]

61. LOL, yeah That.

[Paladin]

4. How many U.S. military personnel is this regime willing to sacrifice for this loony notion?

Might as well ask the tough questions now, rather than later.

Or am I the only old-timer who recalls a little conflict in a place called Viet Nam?

[Prairie Gates]

5. "this incredible, beautiful landmass"

He's such a herb.

[the nelm]

59. Silly question. Is that an expression of some sort? If so, never heard it before.

I'll just add that herbs serve a very useful purpose - can I propose "he's such a weed?" (Of the extremely pernicious variety.)

[Bo Zarts]

6. Persona non grata .. stat!

[NewHendoLib]

7. All republicans do is project. in truth, asshole magas are not doing a good job.

[dweller]

8. Go home couch fucker , your pResident needs you

[Meowmee]

23. Lol saw that one at twitter and reposted it 😹

[Cha]

26. OmGosh! Crazy Tragically Funny! Nice touch with the BAG of CHEETOS!

[canetoad]

33. The hand

Holding the bag of Cheetos is a bit suss, but I'll give it a pass.

[Attilatheblond]

9. Reading JD's complaint while in Hour 3 on hold for SSA, which used to work well before Elon cut employees

JD can stuff that propaganda BS up his poop shute. It's Team Trump that is not serving the people of THIS country. Why would people of Greenland want to be in the sinking ship with the US?

[SheltieLover]

17. Precisely!

[rurallib]

11. "Right back at you, Judy"

[SuzyandPuffpuff]

14. Fuck the cast and crew

How dare 47 insinuate his filth. He is a bully. He wants the entire planet to pay for the fact that he had a miserable life. Nobody liked him. Couldn't stand to b around him. Found him repugnant. And when he looks in the mirror he knows that he sees what we see. A ugly child who can't get past shitting his pants.

[cilla4progress]

15. Heinous and

evil shit.

We all see right thru it. Well, anyone with a brain cell.

[brush]

16. Who asked the uninvited asshole to opine on whether they've done a good job.

I bet if polled the Greenlanders would tell him to get lost.

[SheltieLover]

18. No doubt!

[cab67]

36. Actually, they did.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/u-officials-went-door-door-180606208.html

[brush]

37. Good on them.

[Blue Full Moon]

19. In that case

The republicans have not done a good job. So which country gets to take over the USA.

[DonCoquixote]

31. russia

which they have, sadly

[OMGWTF]

46. Rethuglicans may fk everything up so badly that Japan and Germany have to rescue us from ourselves.

THAT would be ironic.

[Blue Full Moon]

53. Worried that may be the case

[sop]

20. This sounds like the threat a mobster would make to the owner of a business he wants to muscle in on.

“I think you ultimately will partner with the Don. We could make you much more secure. We could do a lot more protection. And I think you'd fare a lot better economically as well.”

These people are gangsters, nothing more.

[Cha]

21. Says the Shithead who's in On Tearing Down America. FU Vump

[surfered]

22. Vance is embarrassing the USA.

[Meowmee]

24. Go f yourself jd traitor

Any news on their reception? We know the main reason psycho sent him along too was because Greenland said they’de ignore his stepford wife.

[TxGuitar]

25. This

Sounds like Hitler talking about the Sudetenland

Vance said the U.S. has “no option” but to take a significant position to ensure the security of Greenland as he encouraged a push in Greenland for independence from Denmark

[Disaffected]

27. An astonishing display of hubris, ignorance and

arrogance - all rolled into a small, cringeworthy humanoid.

[dem4decades]

29. How do you say "Go Fuck Yourself" in Greenlandic?

[angrychair]

30. I mean he has got to be right...

The people of Greenland obviously want to be free of all the awful things Denmark is doing to them.
The people of Greenland want to be treated like Americans:
1) Bankrupted by medical debt
2) The ability to be arrested right off the street and sent to a torture prison in another country despite no charges or a court order
3) to work three different jobs and still be homeless and drowning in debt and shamed for it and told it's your fault by some of the richest and most powerful people in Earth
4) a country where we force raped 12 yr olds to have their rapist's baby but also make it nearly impossible for that same child to get the medical and financial assistance she desperately needs
5) a country that has criminalized miscarriages.
6) a country that treats it's veterans as suckers and losers
7) a country that's shames Intelligence and makes bullies president

What's not to love.

[OMGWTF]

48. Denmark is considered to be one of the happiest countries in the world.

I still don't understand why TF anyone would want to come to the US. Srsly.

[Karasu]

34. Republicans don't get to talk about underinvesting in fucking ANYTHING. They're pushing austerity on fucking

everyone to "save" miniscule amounts of money while pretending to care about the deficit, and that ship sailed ages ago.

And the US sure as hell doesn't give a flying fuck about environmental standards or quality of life anymore, so why the fuck would anyone buy the shit he's selling?

[flashman13]

35. The arrogance and delusions of grandeur are stunning. They are power mad.

[relayerbob]

38. Says the guy that no one in Greenland will talk to

As always, just making shit up as they go along, to justify whatever evil plot du jour they have in mind.

[D00ver66]

41. One can hope

With any luck, Denmark will shut down the American base there as retaliation for forcing a visit that is intended to begin the “invasion “ of Greenland. It’s time other countries start to exercise their power to NOT allow US ships, planes or flyover to American requests any longer.

[Evolve Dammit]

42. TOTAL ASSHOLE. I can use all CAPS TOO.

[twodogsbarking]

44. Look in the mirror dipshitface.

[OMGWTF]

45. You have no fking business in Greenland. How about you make sure America is secure first, asshole.

I am so embarrassed to be an American. It happens every time a Rethuglican is in the White House.

[pwb]

49. The pukes act like we haven't had a military base there for

decades. Now military bases are not enough? Funny how they are blind to Putins Cuba threat eh?

[Crowman2009]

50. STFU Cpl. Vance!

I refuse to call him VP.

[Gimpyknee]

51. What a f'en a-hole

[TheFarseer]

52. They haven't strip mined anything

What a waste!

[Marcuse]

54. An interesting Danish "West Wing" type TV series featuring Prime Minister Brigette Nyborg's Greenland policy.

[Bread and Circuses]

55. Rhetorical Question - would Greenland become a US State or...

…because we’ll have Two Democratic Senators and One Congressperson.

My guess #47 wants to use it as a cashcow. But the catch is that the natural resources are buried deep underground.

Is he going to bomb it ?

[lastlib]

56. Hey, VD Dunce--MYODB!*

*"Mind Your Own Damn Business!"--Gov. Tim Walz

[calimary]

58. Who is HE to say, anyway?

Yeah. He wants to “ensure the security of Greenland” by swallowing it up, whole.

I’m sure those who call Greenland home will just LUVLUVLUV that.

[Diraven]

60. Musk should just offer every Greenlander

A million dollars if they vote to become part of the US. That's only a little more than he paid for Twitter. Since they said they're not enforcing the laws against bribing foreigners anymore.
