Vice President JD Vance traveled to Greenland to promote President Donald Trump’s claim that America has to have the Danish territory—and that Greenlanders would be more secure under U.S. protection.President Trump “has repeatedly suggested the U.S. should take over Greenland ‘one way or the another...
Vance is full of shit.
Denmark has kept it’s promises and patrolled the entire area for all these years. The latest encounter with Russians was by he Danish patrols. They all were.
USA used to have 6000 soldiers on Greenland. Today they have 150. USA has done jack shit with their military bases on Greenland, except for leaving behind environmental disasters, which Denmark has paid for cleaning up.
Is Denmark not treating the Greenlanders right? Maybe, but how will they be treated by USA? Will they even get to vote in American elections? I fucking doubt it.
Not only that, iirc Denmark offered the US a much larger military presence on Greenland, and the Trump admin denied the offer. I think it even included some mining claims. Still not enough. It really seems like the goal is nothing short of full territorial control. But the reason appears murky. Like if it is saftey, why is larger military presence enough? It really does appear to be a lie.
