So his excuse is people were joking about the US invading Greenland and so naturally they started joking about the US invading Iceland.
Yeah that tracks, a totally innocent comment that no one could possibly take offence to in any way. Except of course the US is threatening to invade Greenland so it’s not really a joke. More statement of future intent.
Even in current circumstances; your average Joe could perhaps pass the suggestion off as some kind of sardonic humour… but actually being the US Ambassador to Iceland and saying it? That’s either a brain-dead lack of self-awareness, a thinly veiled ‘flex’ to your Republican peers or, of course, both.
We have a sign for that.
Don’t know it in ISL although.
I don’t speak sign. What is this?
It’s a bull taking a s**t. Pretty cool

This is on lemmy:
When i hear US Ambassador the first thing that comes to mind is a clown.
"I apologise it was taken that way. I was with a group of friends and there was nothing serious about it.”
Haven’t we heard that enough by now to know that’s a pathetic, bullshit excuse? What you say with friends reveals something about you and how you think. The guy could’ve said nothing and he’d have been fine, but for some reason the idea of taking over Iceland was in his mind and for some reason he felt comfortable making light of it. If infringing on another country’s sovereignty is such a non-issue that he feels comfortable joking about it, he’s clearly not fit to be an ambassador. (Though as a Trump-appointee, it’s hardly surprising he’s not fit for the job.)
I’ve had mental health professionals use that non-apology and insist it must suffice and absolution is owed, I do not think it is going away anytime soon.
Fuck these people
I actually believe him this was just a stupid joke but I still think they should deny him entry and reject him as an ambassador because fuck him, that’s why. Don’t give those fuckers any benefit of the doubt, use any excuse you can get to hurt them.
I was with a group of friends and there was nothing serious about it
Nice of him to summarize his entire political decision-making framework for us.
This Jabba the Hutt motherfucker was my rep when I used to live in that part of Missouri. He is one of the most disgusting people I’ve ever seen.
If “does this look infected?” was a person.
He looks like a worthless old pedofile.
In America they call that “ruling class”
This guy heard “Danish” and thought “cheese or raspberry”, the fat fuck.
I guess the american imperialist assumption is that, come hell or high water, Canada will be the 51st state, so they are already on number 52.
There’s a guy who has indulged every craving he’s ever had.
Big words coming from a guy looking like a molten E.T.
Go fuck yourself E.T.
Look at that fat bastard. Just look at it!
Maybe the us will balkanize before Russia.
