*“It was a combination of a little bit of commotion from Danish leaders combined with Vance wanting to go for a while,” said the official, who added that the vice president argued that if Danish and island leaders were going to get “worked up” over his wife’s visit, they could get worked up over him, and his entourage, traveling to the territory.*

Didn’t Denmark send troops to both Iraq and Afghanistan? Have they even been thanked for that yet by JD Vance.

Many people would take pride in being criticised by Vance. If he thinks you are wrong, you are probably right.

Imagine the trillions of collective minutes of countless people’s lives around the world being wasted reading about this gang of morons every day. I can’t keep this up for another 4 (20?) years – it’s such a waste of my life.

The USA’s behavior is odd. It would be odd if let’s say the Danish PM’s people went around USA neighborhoods asking for people to meet her or her husband. Weird.

You are organizing a party at the house you threaten to take over, and you are surprised that the owner is not cooperating.
What kind of detachment from reality is that? What an audacity to attempt in the first place?

Maybe Greenland should officially change its name to Illegal immigrants. So that the Republicans want nothing to do with it anymore.
“We need illegal immigrants” doesn’t have the same ring to it for the MAGA crowd.

Unfortunately the US has spent decades (actually more) to treat people of Puerto Rico as second class citizen and most of US mainland too. They treated some costal and northern states populations as citizen but of cource not people in places like Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama as no such thing to mention just a few. Some of those US proper states looks more like developing countries and the population is illiterate (at least with very low education outcome) and not very seldom drugaddicts etc.
If one compare diffrent parts of the US, one could not complaine that much of the danish governments focus on Greenland. The US may want to focus on their own population if concern for peoples well beeing was at all on centerstage, which it is not.

turning a cultural visit into a political confrontation risks straining diplomatic relations. greenland holds strategic significance, and cooperation should take precedence over public criticism. Productive dialogue strengthens alliances unnecessary tensions do not..

How is an expectation considered news? I mean I have as much disdain for the guy as the next dude, but can’t we at least wait until he actually does something stupid again. It’s not like we’re gonna have to wait that long given his track record.

America has a petulant child man for a VP in Vance. This guy has major mom issues and projected it on his wife to solve daddy Trumpy’s latest obsession. It shows intelligence can’t replace psychological inadequacy. Good riddance to these fools.
