JD Vance said Denmark was ‘not a good ally’ and no ‘screaming Europeans’ would stop the US taking Greenland – 17 properly shocked responses
It appears that nothing – not even the prospect of somehow making Canada the 51st state of America – will deflect the White House from its stated intention to take control of Greenland. By any means necessary, by the looks of it.

Here is Donald Trump’s VP JD Vance – you remember – basically saying the US was going to take it whether they – or anyone else – liked it or not.

This might be the moment historians point to as the turning point—the beginning of the end of American global leadership.
When the Vice President of the United States threatens a NATO ally and speaks casually about taking foreign territory as if it’s a Monopoly board, it’s more…

Truly remarkable—and by remarkable, we mean embarrassing.
Imagine calling Denmark “not a good ally” while threatening to do whatever you want with Greenland, as if it’s some empty piece on a board game. This isn’t diplomacy—it’s colonial cosplay.
JD Vance is confirming what the…

Absolutely deranged take from JD Vance.
Calling Denmark “not a good ally” while dismissing Europe’s concerns about Greenland like some colonial overlord from 1890?
