We need to exercise our second amendment rights and arrest this man

Critical assessment from a politician who's a failure by most assessments. As a person who doesn't care what you think, thanks for your opinion? I guess?

What's that? I think I heard your mom calling you. It's probably time to go home now.

Backdrop of military folk because:

  • They have to follow orders, no matter how asinine
  • Because of The Implication
  • Nobody from Greenland would stand behind this clown

The wide shot is also hilarious:

Also, he is too cowardly to actually say this in Nuuk and has to say it at Pituffik Space Base 1000+ miles away, like the couch defiler he is.

Thanks, that's exactly what I thought of when I saw this post

Did he say thank you even once?

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 73 points 1 week ago (3 children)

He's nor even wearing a suit.

[–] haulyard@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

I feel like he’s trying to pull off the Zelensky look.

The country disappearing its own citizens claims another country isn’t protecting its own

How quaint

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?

[–] alakazam@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

This. And why did the US abandon more than 10 other bases and operations up here since the end of the Soviet Union.

[–] courageousstep@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

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.

It worked for Trump. Twice!

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.

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.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (4 children)

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.

EU countries need to start making plans to remove us bases by force and destroy any US forces if necessary.

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.

They are going to do this for real. I hope europe shows some balls this time because if not we are on a very fast lane and there are no exits before we reach war.

He must have left it on the couch after the Shady Vance rendezvous

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Seen at a military base in Greenland.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 week ago

LOL - And the US is doing such a great job of keeping US citizens safe? Yeah FUCKING RIGHT!

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The suit stuff aside, what's with his weird grammar? "You have not done a good job by the people in Greenland." In this sort of sentence, "for" sounds much more natural than "by". And I think the common phrase that "Person A hasn't done right by Person B," is more of an exception.

But assuming he did mean it that way, then he's speaking as if the people of Greenland feel wronged by Denmark, but they don't.

In fact, Americans are much more disappointed with Trump and Vance than Greenlanders are disappointed with Denmark. If disapproval rating was the important thing, then Denmark would be acquiring the United States.

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am not a native English speaker but: "do right by" is a construction meaning to treat fairly. I assume that's what he wanted to say.

Also he is talking out of his ass. They couldn't find a single person willing to vouch for him and his wife when they wanted to visit. From tens of thousands of people living there they couldn't find a single person. Greenlanders don't like them.
