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.

Did he say thank you even once?

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 71 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 indeed didn't do enough to keep Greenland safe. They let Vance go there.

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 72 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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?

[–] 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.

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.

This is mafioso protection racket language.

"Be a real shame if someone came into your shop and busted up the place... Howz about youz guys let us take ownership? You can still manage the joint and we'll protect it as a favor to youz. We take all the risk."

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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 36 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.

Who exactly are you shouting at, as if everything you're saying isn't obvious as day?

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

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (18 children)

Why do Americans always think in violence. The American people put a bunch of nazis into power, now you want Europe to fix it with a full out war. It's like the US is full of toddlers. Idiocracy was a meant as a comedy, not a manual.

[–] freeman@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am not American. I don't want Europe to try and 'fix' the US, my suggestions are merely for the EU to avoid being taken over by the US.

Since the US has put a bunch of nazis into power it's possible it will come to violence or threats of violence. It's better to be prepared. It's also better to act first if you know violence is inevitable.Or you could just acquiesce to any demand when threatened. Tariffs, give your natural resources to US companies, ban gays, ban 'communism' etc.

How have fascists typically been successfully handled by the international community in the past?

He is trying to look like Zelensky. How pathetic is that??

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At the same time he looks like he forgot to remove the eyeliner from last night.

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.

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

Seen at a military base in Greenland.

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] 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!

[–] dick_fineman@discuss.online 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Go fuck a couch, Vance. No one cares. Trump just grabbed you by your bussy so he could have someone who criticized him to scream "yes Daddy" when he pissed on your face. Posturing coward.

Isn't it for the Greenland's to say whether Denmark has "done a good job by the people of Greenland"? He is just the most pathetic, spineless simp ever.
