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’m sorry, due to political instability travelers from your country must be held for seven days while we run a background check to be sure you’re not attempting to illegally enter our country.

        Here’s a 3cm thick mat and a 3m x 3m room that’s lit 24/7. See you next week. I suggest you take a vote on which corner is the bathroom."

        If they did this. I don’t even think Trump would care. Probably tell the press “he doesn’t know anything about it, you’re telling me for the first time”.

        Then Pete gets drunk and forgets to launch the rescue mission. No one would miss JV Vance anyways.

          Once the rescue mission is finally underway, they accidentally add the Prime Minister of Greenland to the thread where they’re discussing battle plans.

    This is the geopolitical equivalent of your idiot neighbours crashing your birthday barbecue only to complain about the food. Loudly. While chewing.

    Its kind of weird how often they’re talking about when and where he is going to be almost like they’re inviting someone to knock him out of the sky.

    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.

        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?

        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?

          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?
