WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that he’s joining his wife on a Friday trip to Greenland, suggesting in an online video that global security is at stake.

“We’re going to check out how things are going there,” Vance said in a video shared Tuesday. “Speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it’s important to protecting the security of the entire world.”

Could Greenland just turn them away?

[-] match@pawb.social 138 points 1 week ago

Detain them indefinitely instead.

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago

If they did this. I don't even think Trump would care. Probably tell the press "he doesn't know anything about it, you're telling me for the first time".

Then Pete gets drunk and forgets to launch the rescue mission. No one would miss JV Vance anyways.

Eh they'd need the Trump-Vance-Johnson trilogy though

They should. Just say the runways are unsafe to land on

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

Nah, let them come... and then don't let them leave.

[-] axh@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Deport to El Salvador Prison

[-] CircaV@lemmy.ca 154 points 1 week ago

Greenland should absolutely deny these invaders entry.

[-] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 52 points 1 week ago

That would be a shame if they got detained.

[-] witten@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Maybe they should have their cell phones searched just like those Europeans trying to enter the U.S... It's not like any Signal threads JD may or may not be on have classified information, right?

I hope Greenlanders chase him away like Vermonters did. Let him know he can't go anywhere without people making it known how much they don't want a little sycophantic dweeb like him around.

[-] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Please please please Greenland make this happen. Boo and jeer and hurl insults at him everywhere he goes every minute of every day.

[-] Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Or take him hostage. I’m sure loads of Americans would welcome that.

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 week ago

The US would just bomb Greenland. Until everyone died. Just like the zionist fucks do in Gaza.

USA's not sending their best.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

A couchfucker and his cuck... Yeah, I'd say that's not our best.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 58 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

If there isn't at least one snowball to the face I'll be disappointed in Greenland.

I'd also be cool with people reviving the tradition of throwing shoes at republican fuckers.

As a convicted felon, Trump probably isn't allowed entry to most modern countries.

[-] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 week ago

Did Couch Guyliner not express some horrible disdain for Europe recently on the leaked Signal app that his administration is famed for? And now he's visiting Europe?

I hope he receives the same treatment that Tesla dealerships are treated to in Canada.

[-] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Let’s be honest. How many people would care if Greenland just threw him in an ice cave? His wife probably wouldn’t even look for him until she ran out of mascara. No one in America cares about JD Vance. People who loathe Trump or Ted Cruz or whomever have to force giving a shit about JD Vance.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

There's no evidence Greenland even met with them. Greenland was with me at the restaurant all night. I'm sure my other friends could also corroborate that. Remember that guys? Greenland was cracking jokes all night. Dave almost peed his pants he was laughing so hard.

[-] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I’m sorry I don’t know the name of Greenland’s prime minister. They just had an election and I don’t know who will ultimately put a coalition together. I saw puffins in Iceland once who were headed that way and I know ice core samples often come from Greenland. (Shout out to Greenland for puffins and science!) But please excuse my ignorance.

My original point was that JD Vance is irrelevant. I don’t remember his wife’s name but I know it’s like 4 or 5 letters and multiple vowels and syllables. UEFA is not correct, obviously, but it’s like that.

[-] TheProtagonist@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

“We’re going to check out how things are going there”

WTF should be going on there JD? None of your business!

This is the geopolitical equivalent of your idiot neighbours crashing your birthday barbecue only to complain about the food. Loudly. While chewing.

Do not let these pieces of human shit into your country.

[-] drdiddlybadger@pawb.social 21 points 1 week ago

Its kind of weird how often they're talking about when and where he is going to be almost like they're inviting someone to knock him out of the sky.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 20 points 1 week ago

Couldn't the danish king like have him executed or some shit like that?

Let's have some big ass dude with a claymore go to town on his pasty ass.

[-] oxysis@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I’d prefer a halberd be used

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Bit to Renaissance era, go with something a bit more akin to the original Greenlander colonists the humble Daneaxe do it at Eriksfjord for extra spice.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Oh, a 6 ft flamberge would be sweet.

[-] Suoko@feddit.it 14 points 1 week ago

he'll probably need to apply for a VISA card now

[-] tiefling 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I hope they arrest them and treat them how the US government treats Middle Eastern travelers

Those guys were just dicks, these are assholes and loud pussies with guns.

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

I don't know much in this crazy, crazy world, but I do know that if you don't let us fuck this asshole, we are going to have our dicks and our pussies all covered in shit.

[-] thisphuckinguy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Don't let them land.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Remember, no official meetings, and they have to pay for the trip themselves.

[-] jenni007@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

Let’s hope nobody turns up.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Abhorrently disrespectful on a national scale flex but not ok.

[-] SoupBrick@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago

Praying for his safety and that NOTHING happens to him :)
