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.
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.
No worries, I get it. This shit is terrible, and while its not all Americans, its embarrassing how many of us are for the craziness. I always knew I was surrounded by dumbasses but holy shit, its way worse than I ever expected.
It should also be embarrassing how few of you are actively fighting back against the collapse of your own country.
Those few hundred person protests? They should be millions. And they should be constant.
That’s the only way you’ll reclaim your country from the fascists who are taking it over and destroying ~250 years of progress.
