    This is not a toddler, this is a guy bigger than you and with lots of guns and friends. Talking is our only option, especially because it means we can also go against the narrative that Denmark cannot defend Greenland.

    Which is true in isolation, but that’s why we’re in NATO and the joint arctic command and have the 1951 deal with the US that you guys can scale up military presence in Greenland at will. Yet it hadn’t happened in 20 years, only reductions.

    Personally I think we should have gone more into how Biden refused to increase the defense of the arctic region within the agreement, give the trumpists a way to call him names and solve the issue within the agreements we have.

    Still, Lars Løkke has been doing the rounds on Fox News and elsewhere to give our perspective, which could influence public opinion and help change the false narratives being spread in the US. From our perspective we had everything to gain from a meeting and very little to lose.

        That’s not the point, though. The point is to try and change the narrative to be more, shall we say, fact-based. And maybe talk to someone less mental than Trump.

            Well, that’s what our people did yesterday. Even if Vance is a piece of shit he’s not deranged like Trump, and Rubio is also someone you can have a productive discussion with as a foreign nation provided, of course, that the racist grandpa in charge of your nation calms down for a second and stops posting lies about Greenland every 30 minutes.

              Vance, Rubio and Miller are even worse war mongers and ultra rightwing fascist pieces of shit. They are worse than Trump becuse they are younger and can do more damage for a longer period of time. Trump, all his enablers, toadies, and yes men-need to go.

                No, they’re not worse than trump. They don’t have the cult of personality that Trump has. They’re also not as delusional as trump. They know that they can’t take on the entire world and would rather get what they want diplomatically. They’re definitely just as evil as trump, yes. But they simply don’t have the draw. Which… Fuck me, I don’t understand any draw at all.

                  There will be a critical mass of people (current sycophants) who extend Trumps fascist policies. This bullshit won’t be over when Trunp finally fucks off.

                    No, you’re right, but it won’t have the momentum that they had before. But Vance doesn’t have the “charisma” of trump. That narcissistic vibe of “I’m telling you the truth that others won’t” bullshit. Vance is just a guy, but Trump sells it like nobody else can. In their heads they’re like “who the fuck is Vance? He’s not a billionaire” he may be more evil, but he’s not as dangerous.
