JD Vance Echoes Trump’s Suggestion To Use Military To Take Over Greenland

During an interview on Fox News this past weekend, Vice President-elect JD Vance echoed Donald Trump’s recent suggestion that we may end up using our military to take over Greenland. Vance made the suggestion by reminding the world that the US already has troops in Greenland because we have a major military base in the territory. We now have an incoming administration openly threatening to invade a sovereign country, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Not only has the incoming president of the United States suggested that we could use military force to take over the territory of Greenland, but now the incoming vice president of the United States, JD Vance, has also suggested that we could use the military to take over Greenland. And he says it'd be pretty easy to do because we already have troops in Greenland because we have a military base there. On Fox News Sunday, JD Vance was asked about, you know, Hey, Trump said maybe we could use the military. What do you think? And JD Vance said, we don't have to use military force. Shannon. The thing that people always ignore is we already have troops in Greenland. Greenland is really important for America strategically.

Now here's the thing. Greenland, of course, is a territory of Denmark, but it has its own government has its own prime minister. Uh, it is a self-governing territory. And I cannot speak for Denmark, nor can I speak for Greenland. But if I were either one of those countries, right, and I'm watching the incoming president of the United States say that he is not ruling out using military force, the incoming vice president of the United States laughing it off and saying, we've already got troops there. Do you know what my response would be? My response would be, you're about to not have troops here because we're kicking you out. We do have that authority. We are allowing you to be in our country. We're allowing you to have a military base over here, and we don't have to allow you to do that anymore. We can tell you to pack your things and be outta here by noon if we want.

Because as you just stupidly admitted, JD Vance, Greenland is very strategic for you, militarily speaking. How would you feel if you suddenly lost that strategic advantage? 'cause we can do that like that. That should be the response of either Greenland, Denmark, or both of them combined. Obviously, they're not gonna do that, right? They're not as big of, you know, a-holes as I am. But if I were running either one of those places, that is exactly the response I would have coupled with a how dare you? How dare you threaten to invade a sovereign country, an ally to take it over and steal our resources? 'cause that's what this is all about, folks, as the ice sheets melt in areas of Greenland, because we do nothing about climate change, minerals that were once pretty much off limits due to the ice sheets are becoming

Available, and those are minerals that the US government and US businesses desperately want to get their greedy little hands on. That is why there's all this talk about Greenland. That is why Trump is obsessed with it. And if I were them, they hold all the power right now. I know that seems weird, right? We're the United States, we're the biggest, we're the baddest, we're the bestest, right? Well, not exactly. They have something we need. We don't have something they need. So who has the power in that situation? They can kick us out in a heartbeat. They can start selling off those minerals and say, you know what? We're not gonna sell to you. So that's where it's at. But when you have both the incoming president and incoming vice president threatening to use force against a sovereign country, that is something that should alarm everybody.
