This is mafioso protection racket language.

He is trying to look like Zelensky. How pathetic is that??
At the same time he looks like he forgot to remove the eyeliner from last night.

WTF is going on anymore?! I feel like we are living in a fever dream.
Honestly, I don't even think the Trump regime knows whats going on. They're kinda just doing whatever as fast as possible since they know midterms likely won't go their way.

I'd say the people of Greenland are way safer under Denmark than the US for one simple reason, public healthcare.
And other public safety nets to prevent people dying.

Denmark isn't doing enough to keep Greenland safe?
First of all, is there some conflict there that I'm not aware of?
Second of all, we have a goddamn US military base there. Are the troops behind you not doing enough to keep it safe?
The “Big Lie.” Even Hitler was “open” about it - in positing that the “Big Lie” was Jews being responsible for Germany’s failure in WW1, he was asking his audience to accept a true “Big Lie.”
Allegiance to outright falsehood is about a marker of being of the right ideology. Political parties have always been like football teams to some of these folks - it’s about having the correct tribal markers and spouting the slogan. Words aren’t really supposed to mean anything - what they are communicating to everyone is “we want to invade Greenland.” They are signaling to their audience and just know that they can say whatever they want, while we scramble to respond to the words and not the meaning.
I am so sick of the persistent invention of bad ideas they're trying to make real. It's like they think of they can say whatever they want often enough and enough people will hear it, then suddenly it's a real fact.
Stop trying to make Fetch happen, Vance. It's never going to happen.
I don't know if you actually believe that repeating a lie does not increase the number of people who believe it or if you're saying you don't think it should work that way. Either way, I think the state of this country proves pretty decisively that it absolutely does work that way.

Ok, I generally have a low opinion of lemmings, but I thought even you dumbshits would have figured this out by now. Let me spell it out for you:
CLAIMING THAT A PLACE'S CITIZENS ARE UNDER EXTERNAL THREAT IS A VERY COMMON PRETEXT FOR INVASION. IT IS LITERALLY EXACTLY THE EXCUSE RUSSIA USED IN UKRAINE. WHEN THE INVASION BEGINS, THE US WILL BE CLAIMING IT IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF GREENLAND.
Vance doesn't believe this shit. No one believes this shit. He doesn't expect anyone to believe this shit. He is publicly signaling to the world that the US is actively preparing to seize Greenland by force.
Who said Vance believes this? Most comments on this post are implying or outright stating that Greenland actually needs protection from the USA, not any other boogeyman. You're arguing against a strawman.
The context of this post is not even about the statements from Vance anyway, it's about pointing out the constant hypocrisy - Vance was just complaining about Zelensky not wearing a suit and heres Vance, wearing casual clothing at an official international press statement.
But hey, your shouting, insulting and complaining at the whole Lemmy community is really helping get across your point that everyone already understood anyway. iamverysmart energy.

Who exactly are you shouting at, as if everything you're saying isn't obvious as day?
Angrily shouting something that everyone knows to be true while insulting them for not knowing the thing they actually know.
Yeah you're a real genius there bud

Go fuck a couch, Vance. No one cares. Trump just grabbed you by your bussy so he could have someone who criticized him to scream "yes Daddy" when he pissed on your face. Posturing coward.
EU countries need to start making plans to remove us bases by force and destroy any US forces if necessary.
Why do Americans always think in violence. The American people put a bunch of nazis into power, now you want Europe to fix it with a full out war. It's like the US is full of toddlers. Idiocracy was a meant as a comedy, not a manual.
I am not American. I don't want Europe to try and 'fix' the US, my suggestions are merely for the EU to avoid being taken over by the US.
Since the US has put a bunch of nazis into power it's possible it will come to violence or threats of violence. It's better to be prepared. It's also better to act first if you know violence is inevitable.Or you could just acquiesce to any demand when threatened. Tariffs, give your natural resources to US companies, ban gays, ban 'communism' etc.

How have fascists typically been successfully handled by the international community in the past?

Because the US is NOT a democracy and every single right we have was only won through violence. Civil rights? Malcom X and the Black Panthers had to resort to violence. Gay rights? Please see the Stonewall riots. The right to unionize? Workers had to take up guns and fight the police and military multiple times for the mere right to unionize.

Dear anyone from Greenland: Given how little of a shit the US Government cares about the US, I hope you aren't falling for this bullshit.
General Zod wore it better, makeup and all.
Isn't it for the Greenland's to say whether Denmark has "done a good job by the people of Greenland"? He is just the most pathetic, spineless simp ever.
American politicians are a disgrace I find it hard to understand how people can be paid to lie, destroy diplomatic relationships, victimise veterans and what will be collapse the economy
Obscene wealth. All of these people have sold their souls to billionaires.
Did he say thank you once ?
"We'd best close that foreign air base then."
LOL - And the US is doing such a great job of keeping US citizens safe? Yeah FUCKING RIGHT!
This image is proof that it was a fantastic idea from the citizens of Nuuk to not allow the Vances in their town. They’d have been abused for an image like this. This is the only reason why Vance wanted to visit Greenland.
So now they’re using their soldiers as backdrop to pretend they’re Greenlanders.

Denmark = the flawed boyfriend who knows he's been letting her down and is trying to fix it.
Greenland = the pretty girl who is tired of her boyfriend's behavior, but wants to make it work because he is trying to improve.
America = the nice guy incel who who used to be Denmark's best friend and thinks he has a chance with the girl.
America doesn't understand that Greenland isn't interested. America doesn't understand that Greenland isn't her boyfriend's property. America doesn't understand that Greenland is her own woman with her own hopes and dreams. She's nothing more than a pretty girl he wants to boost his ego. She keeps telling him that she's trying to work it out with her boyfriend and even if they decide to break up she still doesn't want to be with America.
America = that's just your boyfriend talking. I know you want me.
Proceeds to harrass and stalk her wherever she goes with unwanted advances and ignores her rejections. Makes alphamale threats toward Denmark who is just standing there like "please respect my girlfriend's boundaries."
Tune in next time when we find out if America decides to cross over from stalking and threats to rape and murder or if he finally accepts the rejection.
Canadians used to be your besties. Backed you in your BS wars. Had your planes land in Canada during 9-11. We opened our homes to you. We did what Canadians do, made sure you were all fed and looked after. That’s what Canadians do.

checking in from J.D. Vance's hometown. fucker has no connection to reality. city council logs from early 2025 show his mom, of Hillbilly Elegy fame, demanding they do some shit to acknowledge the boy and his little adventures in governance.
