      Honestly, I don’t even think the Trump regime knows whats going on. They’re kinda just doing whatever as fast as possible since they know midterms likely won’t go their way.

        Agreed. I can fully see martial law being implemented or an actual civil violence happening just as midterms are about to begin.

          According to the EO he signed on Jan 20th it might be sooner. They have 90 days to determine if we should declare a national emergency over the border. April 20th marks 90 days. It’s also Hitlers birthday and a pagan holiday.

          Hell I wouldn’t be the least but surprised if the US is otherwise dissolved by then, actually that’d be kinda funny all fifty states, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa independent with the US only existing in Guam while everyone hashes how who gets what.

        I don’t think they care about elections very much anymore. They just openly buy them now (combined with all the voter suppression of course). These guys are what the US is stuck with from now on unless forcibly ejected.

        I think they don’t really know what is going on because they are evil morons, they want everything done right now, without knowing exactly what “everything” is except more grifting and pleasing Putin.

    Backdrop of military folk because:

    • They have to follow orders, no matter how asinine
    • Because of The Implication
    • Nobody from Greenland would stand behind this clown

      Backdrop of military folk also because this press conference (to the several embedded press people they dragged along for the event) was held at the US military base on Greenland - because they were not invited to visit any other part of Greenland.

      So, they had literally nobody else who could be in the background of the shot except reporters and US base personnel.

      Both Denmark and Greenland governments responded by saying they view this as an escalation and that Vance had better watch his tone. I think they should start talking about cancelling the renewal date of the land lease for the US base (doesn’t matter if the date is far in the future, just telling them they’re risking expulsion is enough).

      Also, he is too cowardly to actually say this in Nuuk and has to say it at Pituffik Space Base 1000+ miles away, like the couch defiler he is.

      Isn’t 04/02 supposed to be some martial law day? Maybe he’s getting ready to declare that he can’t wear a suit again, until the “war” is over.

    Go fuck a couch, Vance. No one cares. Trump just grabbed you by your bussy so he could have someone who criticized him to scream “yes Daddy” when he pissed on your face. Posturing coward.

    Ok, I generally have a low opinion of lemmings, but I thought even you dumbshits would have figured this out by now. Let me spell it out for you:

    CLAIMING THAT A PLACE’S CITIZENS ARE UNDER EXTERNAL THREAT IS A VERY COMMON PRETEXT FOR INVASION. IT IS LITERALLY EXACTLY THE EXCUSE RUSSIA USED IN UKRAINE. WHEN THE INVASION BEGINS, THE US WILL BE CLAIMING IT IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF GREENLAND.

    Vance doesn’t believe this shit. No one believes this shit. He doesn’t expect anyone to believe this shit. He is publicly signaling to the world that the US is actively preparing to seize Greenland by force.

      Who said Vance believes this? Most comments on this post are implying or outright stating that Greenland actually needs protection from the USA, not any other boogeyman. You’re arguing against a strawman.

      The context of this post is not even about the statements from Vance anyway, it’s about pointing out the constant hypocrisy - Vance was just complaining about Zelensky not wearing a suit and heres Vance, wearing casual clothing at an official international press statement.

      But hey, your shouting, insulting and complaining at the whole Lemmy community is really helping get across your point that everyone already understood anyway. iamverysmart energy.

        To be fair, after reading his Signal messages: that guy really seems to swallow up his own propaganda, he really seems to be that stupid. Doesn’t mean, the overall government strategy isn’t exactly as described, could just be that Shady Vance is not in on the joke or he also needed to pretend for some others in that chat

        it’s about pointing out the constant hypocrisy

        Which is missing the goddamn point. It’s not regular garden variety standard MAGA hypocrisy, it’s a causus belli.

          Nah. The image screenshot is asking ‘where is his suit’ and OP is referring to it also. The fact you wanna go off on everyone about a tangential issue and say they’re missing the point is some cool irony though.

          Also, casus belli is an act or event used to justify a war - that’s not happened here, this is rhetoric only. You are probably thinking of jus ad bellum.

        Someday they’ll log off and touch grass instead of calling everyone around them the weirdo, when they’re the one no one likes.

        I miss when they were offline for a few months after the election. I think they’re just here to cause people to think every hardcore democrat is this insuffferable.

        Major sarcasm/irony on that, mind you.

      I don’t think a suit is going to make him any less of a jackass. He’ll just be a jackass in a suit.
