In an interview with Fox News Sunday, J.D. Vance that “it is possible” that the United States will take over Greenland.
At the same time, Donald Trump’s vice president is lashing out at Denmark.
“There’s something that I think a lot of people don’t understand about Greenland. This is really important for our national security.”
“There are seaways that the Chinese and Russians use, and frankly, Denmark, which controls Greenland, does not do its job. It’s not a good ally," J.D. Vance for Fox News.
“So you have to ask yourself how we should solve that problem, solve our national security, and if that means that we have to take more territorial interests in Greenland, that’s what President Trump will do, because he doesn’t care what the Europeans are crying out to us. He cares to put the interests of the American people first," J.D. continues. Vance.
The vice president of the United States also highlights another point that “people are not aware of.”
“There are probably 55,000 people living in Greenland who are not actually happy with the Danish government,” J.D. Vance.
“They have great natural resources there, they have an incredibly rich country that the Danes don’t let them develop and explore.”
“Donald Trump, of course, would have a different approach if he was Greenland’s leader,” the vice president said.

Jesus that’s some scary dictator / aggressor ready talk, holy crap.
We’re either going to see the EU/NATO lay flat while USA takes territory, or we’re going to see USA annex and invade EU territory and be met with war.
Probably the former, but it won’t be good.
Vance is also intentionally ignoring the fact that 85% of Greenlanders were negative to Americans seizing their country. He throws out the unhappy 55,000 Greenlanders speculation as if they haven’t already been asked about the situation directly. He does not care what the Greenlanders think, he just wants to seize Greenland.
It’s the same rhetoric that Russia has used to annex land. “They aren’t happy, the people voted and supported us” and “they have always been Russian, the land was Russia’s historically. We are just taking our land back”
Honestly I hope we’ll see neither of those scenarios but in the hypothetical event of a US invasion, the EU project would fall apart if it wasn’t met with a direct answer.
He keeps saying that USA has an interest in it because they have an interest in it.
There’s no reasoning except for daddy Trump saying he wants it.
Well he did mention the resources…
The resources have not been mined because it’s not financially feasible, yet.
China who are otherwise masters of long term planning discarded the idea about 15 years ago. They wanted to invest in Greenland by building airports and make a transport hub on Greenland for both cargo and passengers in exchange for mining permissions. They backed out because it’s simply not a good business.
Despite the ice melting, it’s going to take a long time for it to be worth the effort. Perhaps 30-50 years or so, assuming they’re still worth anything in the future and if transport can be done cheaply by boats. Donald Trump would be long gone by then anyway.
Denmark needs nukes
But what would the Swedes do when the little pond freezes over next time!?
O no the 55k people not happy. How about the tens of millions in murica that are not happy or can Canada start taking those northern states?
There’s something that I think a lot of people don’t understand about America. They’re currently making a lot of unwise economic decisions and destabilizing the world. They’re not a good ally.
So you have to ask yourself how we should solve that problem, solve our national security, and if that means that we have to invade the USA, that’s what [insert country here] should do. (Plus we can take their resources.)
I’d love to be liberated by Denmark
Not the worst choice. They’re the second-happiest country in the world. They have freedom, look down on bigotry. They have nice pastry…
The second the US attempts to take Greenland we’ll be sanctioned to oblivion by the treaty we helped create. It’s beyond humiliating, but absolutely necessary.
I certainly hope this is just big talk of a delusional megalomaniac who wants to be emperor and some vice president with an intellectual impairment chiming in to either please him and lick boots, or because this is some elaborate strategy to spread fear and ask way too much, and then get a better “compromise”. But yeah, sad to see the civilized world becoming smaller. I hope we stay strong, don’t give in and in the end the good will prevail. We’re going to find out either way.
They are not doing their country right, so we have to take it over and fix it, says nation where eggs are prohibitively expensive.
the Danes don’t let them develop and explore
Lmao, it’s not the Danes that aren’t letting the resources be explored, it’s the Greenlanders themselves
Yup. Rare earth minerals are profitable, but ecologically apocalyptic. They don’t want their island to become an ecological disaster zone.
Denmark might not be a good ally to the US in Mr Vance’s bigoted little mind, but for what the US are to Denmark and Greenland, there is a far better term describing a state that wants to annex another state’s territory: Enemy.
The amount of FUD is insane and I’m afraid people are gonna eat it all right up!
https://www.berlingske.dk/politik/new-poll-shows-overwhelming-majority-of-greenlanders-reject-trump
Only 6 percent of Greenlanders want to leave the Danish Realm in favour of the US, and 9 percent are undecided.
The US can just build more bases in Greenland, instead of closing them down. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituffik_Space_Base
I don’t think this is about national security. This is about exploiting the natural resources in Greenland.
This is not about natural resources or national security, but Russian influence in the US government, and trying to normalize imperialism.
It’s fascist imperialism, because the US is a fascist dictatorship now, and should be treated as such.
Always has been, also for Denmark
That’s ok, the ones who don’t want to join will get deported as illegal immigrants once they barge in. That, or put into remote reservations in land nobody wants.
“Dump em in a crevasse, it’ll spit them out in 10, 20 years”
Kid that wants to take everyone else’s toys, after being told no by a grown-up: “I hate you! You’re not my friend anymore!”
As an European citizen, I prefer having Danish people as friend than US ones right now (and maybe for the next 4 years)… Reliable friends are always better than unreliable ones…
Strengthening the alliance by going onto a known propaganda lie factory with more lies and insults about them. Great strategy.
And this should explain very well, what the US understands to be an “ally”.
I sincerely hate snow. It’s boring. It’s white. The sun reflecting off it can burn your retinas. It’s wet. You have to wear your entire wardrobe, at the same time, and still be cold. It sticks to your face. It piles too high, you have to shovel it, just to start again, when you’re just done.
But for this?
Get me a sled, a team of dogs and a club. I’m more than willing to go to Greenland and stand against the american invader to defend my fellow european.
Can I get to sample that weird cured shark while I’m there? Or am I getting my references mixed up?
The weird shark is an Iceland thing, although confusingly it is made from Greenland shark. It’s called hákarl
I apologize for the confusion. The animals are also endangered, to what I know, right?
So… what else can I sample in Greenland? I’m fond of unusual cullinary.
No idea, I’m afraid! I only know hakarl because of the many videos of non-Icelanders trying it. I do hope someone that actually knows about Greenlandic cuisine can tell us a bit though, I’d like to learn too
Shut up Vance. Nobody cares what the vice says.
The Musk cuck wants attention too hahaha
