Newsweek - Denmark Issues Warning to JD Vance: 'We Don't Appreciate the Tone'

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has received a stern rebuke from Copenhagen about his criticism of Denmark's treatment of Greenland.

Why It Matters
The Danish Foreign Minster Lars Løkke Rasmussen laid down the gauntlet by expressing Copenhagen's unhappiness with White House rhetoric about Greenland, signaling a spat between NATO allies which could have wider diplomatic dimensions.

What To Know
Rasmussen called for an end to Washington's hostile rhetoric about the semi-autonomous island which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark

During a visit to a U.S. military facility, Vance said Denmark had underinvested in the territory.

Rasmussen said "we do not appreciate the tone" of such remarks which follow President Donald Trump's repeated calls for the U.S. to acquire the resource-rich island.

1. Vance's reply

I demand a Thank you!

2. Polite way of saying "fuck you."

Time to bring out your inner Viking, Denmark.

3. If you can get a Canadian or a Dane made @ you

...the problem isn't with them but with you. They are really nice people.

4. JD Vance also flat out said that Denmark has been a bad ally,

Waiting for Congressional Democrats to respond to Vance. Vance needs to have the guts to apologize to the parents and loved ones of Denmark soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting along side US troops. Krasnov and Vance both need to apologize to Canada and Denmark who fought with us.

Democrats never did have a unified message that they can repeat over and over again.

I bet not many people know who the chairman of the DNC is? He was just elected last month, got 246.5 votes out of 448 votes. My pick, Martin O'Malley only got 44 votes.
