JD Vance on Thursday accused Denmark — a fellow NATO member — and the rest of Europe of failing to protect Greenland from the intentions of Russia and China.
“I guess my advice to European leaders and anybody else would be to take the president of the United States seriously,” Vance told journalists at the White House when asked about Greenland.
After the US military successfully captured Venezuela’s leader Nicolas Maduro last weekend, Donald Trump renewed his push to acquire Greenland, with the use of military force not out of the question.
Vance especially urged Europe to respond to Trump’s insistence that the United States needs the island for “missile defense.”
I’m not European, but my country is in NATO and we will be called upon to defend Greenland if the US should invade. JD, I want you to know that I take every fucking thing that Trump says seriously. Whenever he or you or that nosferatu-looking piece of shit miller say something stupid or evil, I completely believe you. Never do I think you fuckwits are bluffing or joking or whatever. I honestly believe, with my whole being, that you are the evil motherfuckers that you say you are.
That being said, I still don’t intend to comply.
It’s important to understand that a VAST majority of Americans are against this, and are going to resist this action strongly. There are even high-ranking MAGAs who are speaking loudly against it.
There is only a tiny number of people who want this, probably less than 5. If they try it, they will have very little support for it. And most of that will dry up quickly when American soldiers start dying for Greenland, which nobody wanted in the first place.
People keep saying this, but it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference
I really hope you’re right. Great parts of X seem to be all for it, and usual right wing influencers are also onboard.
Vance knows he will never be taken seriously.
At least Pence had some pushback and opinions about Trump’s antics. Vance literally crawls out of Trump’s ass everyday just so he can kiss it before he crawls back in.
Really sympathetic to his mother for trading him for a couple perc pills. She knew bad vibes when she saw them
Theil thinks it’s cute when he acts all tough. Really turns him on.

Here is a response: fuck you and die you traitorous, murderous scumbag
For the last 10 yeas everyday I’ve been looking at the paper with constant headlines of Russia and China taking over Greenland and imposing their will…
Oh wait, not even once have I ever seen this problem.
Well they can’t just come right out and say we want the warming, Artic shipping lanes and rare earth minerals.
We are taking him seriously, that’s why we’re improving our defences and strengthening our resolve to defend ourselves from military aggression.
Would Europe and her allies “win” a war with the USA? Difficult to say, depends what the win conditions are. Maybe not.
But she’s got enough strength to make it a many years long affair, ending in nukes if up against the wall. Europe may not win, but it’ll be a pyrrhic victory for the invaders.
Hopefully that knowledge will persuade the USA not to wage war against us. The best outcome is peace and international cooperation through mutual trust and a strong moral center.
We can only hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
It will be Russia invading Europe and China with Taiwan while the usa takes the western continent.
That’s their plan.
You’ll be busy with Russia when it happens.
Yeah, we (every European country) should acquire nukes and show in a very public way they are aimed to Mar-a-Lago.
They know just how bad it will look and how unpopular it will be if they just take Greenland by force. They’re trying to convince the Danes to sell it under duress to give it a veneer of legitimacy.

Missile defense? Against whom, exactly‽
Giving it to him probably just presents an advantageous position to move on the EU, when he decides he wants that next. He’ll probably start with the U.K since it excused itself from the group.
In slightly more seriousness (because my previous idea sadly isn’t out of the question in clown-world, stupid as it was.)
China or Russia is the obvious one to want to defend against, but why so desperate as to break existing alliances to do it by force?
The entire world started posturing up and increasing defense spending dramatically largely in response to the Orange Bully’s peacocking all over the place.
It’s going down in history that this bastard and his sycophantic simps are literally responsible for stoking WWIII, all because a rich child-raper couldn’t fathom the inside of a jail cell.
Were he doing it for actual-security, he’d just do it, & not make a macho-show out of it.
The fact that it’s now a macho-show, means this is part of his need for “respect”, & it’ll be one-upped as soon as it’s done, and that ( the subsequent annexation-of-Canada ) will be one-upped ( by doing to Canada what Putin’s been doing to Ukraine ), next, etc…
Perpetual-escalation.
Until the US is … finished.
But so long as nobody after Trump is “important”, then … he wins!
Understand the game, the rules that some unconscious-minds play.
It’ll happen, & nothing will prevent it, or stop it.
Same with his war on Canada, later.
Tipping-point’s in 2026, probably early.
Prep or get popcorn, whichever you feel is more effective.

Something could definitely stop it. Trump’s not going to live long enough to do as much harm as he wants.
Ok, sanctions then?
I really like Doctorow’s suggestion of repealing anti-circumvention laws. The US tech sector would likely cave very quickly.
Hey Greenland, JD Vance desperately wants you to this is an emergency: order slipcovers for all your sofas
Don’t worry, Europe sees what you are doing to your own citizens, Europe will.
Will… What?
Reading comprehension, huh.
Then Europe gonna tell him to take Europe even more serious.
What a pig.
Or else.
