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.
what in the fuck leads him believe that Greenland is in danger?
The only country threatening Greenland is his country.
Yes. That’s the very definition of a protection racket.
It’s a racket, a stick up job. “Nice country you’ve got, it would be a shame if anything happened to it. We can help you keep it safe, for a price.”
Projection
Also, why do they get to talk like that when they’re threatening their owm neighbours and former allies.
