did they expect any different? Why would anyone on Greenland be aligned with someone who threatened to invade you?

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I can say with strong certainty that they were expecting to be welcomed with open arms as some kind of saviors. They really are that brainwashed.

Reminds me of the harsh really some other invaders found out 3y ago!

Let this be the blueprint for any further state visits

I can't imagine anybody who'd be interested in meeting Usha Vance. She's aligned with fascists, so that eliminates anybody who isn't a fascist. She's a brown hindu, so the fascists aren't interested in meeting her either.

Damn, I don't know if this is better or worse.

On the one hand, you rob the dickheads from coming in the first place, on the other you don't get show how unwelcome they are directly to them.

Eh, it is probably funnier to have them cancel the trip all together.

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think this is better. I would imagine the trip was to collect a material to make MAGA hate Greenland.

I don't see what's the reason to even have this trip in the first place.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They have enough reasons to make maga hate Greenland... they already hate anything 'Green'

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

Sure, but Vance already used his kid this way so I would be surprised why he wouldn't use his wife that way too.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Greenland should just ban the fucking lot of them from the country for life.

Ain't nobody got...

Ain't Nobody Got Time For Usha

I would have expected them to get denied entry at the border, anyway. Why would they allow someone who is a threat to their national security into the country?
