[KenroyTeague]

So now we're saving Greenland from Denmark. Like we saved the middle east from itself?

[Matt-lqxd]

They went door to door to try and get a sit down with a person in Greenland, but no one wanted to talk to them. Love it

[CAM]

I think its for greenlanders to say whether denmark has done a good job not the US...

[DaveCM]

LMAO! Denmark has one of the highest happiness indexes in the world. WAY higher than we have in the US.

[lorettagarcia]

Shame on this administration not recognizing the sovereignty and elevating the identity of a nation with support and not with threats of dominion. Collaboration strengthens more than condemnation. My prayers for honor and friendship for all.

[christina]

I'm an American and I stand with Greenland and Canada and Ukraine.

[eddie-gu]

Where is your suit ? Did you say thank you once ?

[kittylynndale]

Here’s an idea- maybe solve some of the homelessness and joblessness here in the country you’re actually in charge of before you go and try to take over another “beautiful landmass”.

[tonymechcatie]

One interesting point here is in addition to massively backfiring in Greenland and Europe this also makes Trump and Vance look like even worse tyrants to a larger share of Americans here at home.

[colerainfan]

Our message is very simple: we are arrogant, greedy, and aggressive jerks. And we want what we want.

[Richard-nnx]

Total BS! I thought we were in America first? Greenland isn’t asking for help. People in America need to be taken care of first!

[mikebarbee]

Denmark should make a similar statement about the USA

[elkeboos]

No one ever questioned Greenland's policy until Trump. All of the sudden Denmark is neglecting Greenland? What a bunch of baloney.

[jckyhn]

If Greenlanders really felt underinvested in they would have rushed out to greet Vance as their savior. But they didn't come out..at all!

[tthemkthec]

"Our message to Denmark is very simple. We covet your strategic location and rate earth minerals, so we are entitled to takeover Greenland because America is now a super-villain and we take what we want."

[BeloBettyOP]

Unlike my fellow Americans

The people of Denmark and Greenland know a conman when they see one.

[mike]

JD Vance is about as diplomatic as Charles Manson.

[fxtiues]

Putin said the same thing to Ukraine. "I'm here to help."

[williamhugo]

Is he wearing a track suit? How disrespectful when trying to take over a sovereign country

[Horsecatcher]

Green land needs to annex Mar a Lago for the security of Greenland
