The vice president's decision to visit a U.S. military base in Greenland has removed the risk of violating potential diplomatic taboos by sending a delegation to another country without an official invite.

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.”

    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.

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

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