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.

    its embarrassing how many of us are for the craziness.

    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.
