JD Vance on Thursday accused Denmark — a fellow NATO member — and the rest of Europe of failing to protect Greenland from the intentions of Russia and China.
“I guess my advice to European leaders and anybody else would be to take the president of the United States seriously,” Vance told journalists at the White House when asked about Greenland.
After the US military successfully captured Venezuela’s leader Nicolas Maduro last weekend, Donald Trump renewed his push to acquire Greenland, with the use of military force not out of the question.
Vance especially urged Europe to respond to Trump’s insistence that the United States needs the island for “missile defense.”
It’s important to understand that a VAST majority of Americans are against this, and are going to resist this action strongly. There are even high-ranking MAGAs who are speaking loudly against it.
There is only a tiny number of people who want this, probably less than 5. If they try it, they will have very little support for it. And most of that will dry up quickly when American soldiers start dying for Greenland, which nobody wanted in the first place.
People keep saying this, but it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference
I really hope you’re right. Great parts of X seem to be all for it, and usual right wing influencers are also onboard.
