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.”

    Why can’t Greenland officials meet them at the airport, detain while going through their social media , and then put them back on the plane and tell them to not come back? I think that would be fair.

      You don’t need, that comma.

      But I’d like to point out that this isn’t a criticism of, your comment. Just, the punctuation. I’m, sorry. And I will now take, my downvotes. See you, tomorrow.

        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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

        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?

        They can stay in the base but should be denied leaving imo

          Interesting point. Can the US military just fly anyone they like into their overseas bases in Europe etc, then just exit the base into the hosting country, having skipped immigration controls?

            Well technically they can fly anyone into them, nothing stops the host country denying them entry if they try to leave the base though.

            Probably wouldn’t ever happen except in a very rare case like this one but yeah it could happen somewhere the way America’s been trolling Europe in general.

        The us can control anything they want.

        Foreign minister shows up with a paper reading persona non grata, that’s it.

          And how do you picture the Danish Foreign Minister getting to this air base that is the only one in the region, and getting past the American security?
