In an interview with Fox News Sunday, J.D. Vance that “it is possible” that the United States will take over Greenland.
At the same time, Donald Trump’s vice president is lashing out at Denmark.
“There’s something that I think a lot of people don’t understand about Greenland. This is really important for our national security.”
“There are seaways that the Chinese and Russians use, and frankly, Denmark, which controls Greenland, does not do its job. It’s not a good ally," J.D. Vance for Fox News.
“So you have to ask yourself how we should solve that problem, solve our national security, and if that means that we have to take more territorial interests in Greenland, that’s what President Trump will do, because he doesn’t care what the Europeans are crying out to us. He cares to put the interests of the American people first," J.D. continues. Vance.
The vice president of the United States also highlights another point that “people are not aware of.”
“There are probably 55,000 people living in Greenland who are not actually happy with the Danish government,” J.D. Vance.
“They have great natural resources there, they have an incredibly rich country that the Danes don’t let them develop and explore.”
“Donald Trump, of course, would have a different approach if he was Greenland’s leader,” the vice president said.
We’re either going to see the EU/NATO lay flat while USA takes territory, or we’re going to see USA annex and invade EU territory and be met with war.
Probably the former, but it won’t be good.
Vance is also intentionally ignoring the fact that 85% of Greenlanders were negative to Americans seizing their country. He throws out the unhappy 55,000 Greenlanders speculation as if they haven’t already been asked about the situation directly. He does not care what the Greenlanders think, he just wants to seize Greenland.
It’s the same rhetoric that Russia has used to annex land. “They aren’t happy, the people voted and supported us” and “they have always been Russian, the land was Russia’s historically. We are just taking our land back”
Honestly I hope we’ll see neither of those scenarios but in the hypothetical event of a US invasion, the EU project would fall apart if it wasn’t met with a direct answer.
