JD Vance to host Greenland talks at the White House
Source: Guardian
JD Vance will host a meeting with the foreign ministers of Greenland and Denmark amid rising tensions over Donald Trumps push to gain control of the Arctic island.
Denmarks top diplomat, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, said he and his Greenlandic counterpart, Vivian Motzfeldt, had requested the meeting with the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and the vice-president had asked to take part and would host it at the White House on Wednesday.
Our reason for seeking the meeting we have now been given was to move this whole discussion
into a meeting room where we can look each other in the eye and talk about these things, Rasmussen told reporters in Copenhagen on Tuesday.

Denmark will also host a meeting of the foreign, security and defence policy contact committee of the Danish, Greenlandic and Faroese governments on Wednesday. Officials said this would be an opportunity to discuss the political and economic situation.

Vice Troll Juvenile Delinquent Vance isn't qualified to do anything other than troll and kiss Trump's ass, let alone host a high-level meeting.
But apparently JD and his puppetmasters are worried that Rubio might be even semi-rational and adult if he handled the meeting himself, so Vance will be there to interfere and deliver stupid threats as red meat for MAGA.

(12,574 posts)Land in Greenland to steal all the Natural resources, then kill half the population with guns, then spread deadly diseases in gifted blankets like Measles, Covid, Polio, mumps and pretty much every disease we once conquered with vaccines, that kill another 2/3, will we herd the survivors into Reservation's and allow Trump Casinos and legal weed in those reservations to appease and calm the indigenous people down? (Just keep your culture in there, tourist can come see it if they want to)
Why the hell are we surprised at America repeating history, especially when theft for greed is involved?
Maybe we will get another Thanksgiving celebration, and holiday that we spend millions on for stuffing our oversized guts. All to emphasize How much they love us for civilizing them, and bringing our version of Christianity to them.
MAGA, God bless America. (Some more)

(129,215 posts)against all those diseases. Greenland is not a Third World country; it's just not densely populated, and the indigenous Inuit people aren't primitive. They also carry guns as protection against polar bears.
Traildogbob
(12,574 posts)Good they are vaxxed. We will not need to pass out blankets. We will carry the diseases in our unvaxxed military asses.
As a Navy vet, we got dozens of shots for each deployment. I wonder if that happens under Hagueseth.
But comparing Americans for invasion to steal resources holds true. Especially historically as Christians.
Question
..will we not be immigrants there?
Hypocrisy is deep.
I did not mean to and apologize to the Inuit people.
I am certain they are extremely tough people.
I hope NATO has their back.

The Meeting in Berlin (March 15, 1939)
Context: After the Munich Agreement of September 1938, in which Britain and France ceded the Sudetenland border regions to Germany, Czechoslovakia was left militarily and economically vulnerable. Hitler, ignoring his promises, intended to occupy the remainder of the country.
The Meeting: Hácha, who had succeeded Edvard Bene as president, traveled to Berlin on March 14, 1939, to negotiate with Hitler, hoping to preserve his nation's independence. He was kept waiting for hours and finally met with Hitler and other Nazi officials (including Hermann Göring and Joachim von Ribbentrop) at 1:15 a.m. on March 15.
Coercion and Threats: Hitler informed Hácha that German troops were already ordered to march into Czechoslovakia at 6:00 a.m. and that any resistance would be "broken with physical force". Göring explicitly threatened to completely destroy Prague from the air.
Hácha's Collapse: Faced with this intense pressure and the dreadful ultimatum, the elderly Hácha suffered a heart attack or fainted during the meeting. He was revived by Hitler's personal physician, Dr. Theodor Morell, with an injection to continue the negotiations.
The Agreement: At 3:55 a.m., Hácha was forced to sign a document placing the fate of the Czech people and country "in the hands of the Führer".
Aftermath: German troops entered Bohemia and Moravia that same day, encountering virtually no resistance, save for a small skirmish at Místek. Hitler made a triumphant entry into Prague by evening, proclaiming the German Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia on March 16, 1939.
Records and minutes of this coerced meeting were later used as evidence during the Nuremberg Trials.

Oo! Oo! Maybe President Baggypants really wants to nuke the ice sheet! He's always wanted to nuke something.

(1,253 posts)Apprentice JD Vance is on the Greenland Beat. Apprentice Marco Rubio is currently well ahead, having taken much (but not too much) credit for the adventure in Venezuela, and this is JDs big test. Can he pull off some muscular Diplomacy by forcing Denmarks capitulation at the point of a gun? Can he convince Greenlanders to shake off the Nanny State to become the Empires tip of the spear? And by the way; nice ICE jobs for everyone, right there in Greenland.
Does Denmark understand that they can end all this by making a significant investment in World Liberty Financial and just promising to stop building God-damn windmills?
