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.

    The amount of FUD is insane and I’m afraid people are gonna eat it all right up!

    https://www.berlingske.dk/politik/new-poll-shows-overwhelming-majority-of-greenlanders-reject-trump

    Only 6 percent of Greenlanders want to leave the Danish Realm in favour of the US, and 9 percent are undecided.

    The US can just build more bases in Greenland, instead of closing them down. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituffik_Space_Base

    I don’t think this is about national security. This is about exploiting the natural resources in Greenland.

      It’s fascist imperialism, because the US is a fascist dictatorship now, and should be treated as such.

        The US is on a anti-democratic trajectory. But no, calling it a dictatorship, at this moment, is wrong.

      This is not about natural resources or national security, but Russian influence in the US government, and trying to normalize imperialism.

      That’s ok, the ones who don’t want to join will get deported as illegal immigrants once they barge in. That, or put into remote reservations in land nobody wants.
