JD Vance in Greenland: why visit could deepen US-Russian rivalry

4 comments

1. For Greenlanders, JD Vance’s visit can hardly be described as welcome. The outgoing prime minister, Mute Egede, denounced the trip as “highly aggressive” and the tour was scaled back this week to avoid offending the hosts.

   Despite the conditions President Trump believes an American presence in Greenland is vital for US security — and will only become more so as the ice sheets melt, attracting predatory interest from China and Russia.

   “We need Greenland for international safety and security,” Trump said this week

2. Then work with your allies you muppet. The way he’s going about it no will only increase tensions.

3. I really don’t understand their angle. Greenland and the Danish were already good allies before you started all this bs. They would have cooperated and given you whatever you wanted/needed militarily. Instead you insulted them, threatened them, and now want “scale it back to not offend the host?” Too late. They’re already offended. I just don’t get it. Somebody make it make sense for me.

4. What US-Russian rivalry? There’s no such thing as that

   Not anymore at least
