    I think he's making a joke regarding their reputation

    France used to go hard in the more distant past though

    Vance Makes Quick Trip to Greenland, a Place That Doesn’t Want Him
    Vice President JD Vance’s trip to an island that President Trump wants to “get” was a scaled-back version of the original White House plan. “He’s not welcome,” one Greenlander said.

    Vice President JD Vance spent three hours in Greenland on Friday touring a U.S. military base, on a contentious trip pushed by the Trump administration and angrily opposed by Greenlanders.

    In remarks with reporters, Mr. Vance said the United States had to “wake up” to China and Russia’s designs on the island.

    “We can’t just bury our head in the sand,” he said, “or, in Greenland, bury our head in the snow.”


    ____

    Shifty b**** will give up Ukraine to Russia for pennies on the dollars we already put in to spite Europe whenever he has the chance to say it, only to twist his orange-brown colored tongue and tell Greenlanders to "wake up" against Russia.

    Not a hard poll.

    Very doubtful Greenlanders are eager to give up universal healthcare, tuition-free college education, very robust social and work benefits for an unknown and evolving system in the U.S. that under this Administration is weakening worker protections, education benefits, and social benefits. This is not to mention respect for the environment, wellbeing of fellow humans, for laws, morals, ethics, and decency

    A good amount of bellicose talk about Greenland coming form the administration. In response, the PM of Canada is set to visit upon the opening of a Canadian consulate there and the following is being frequently shared among Canadians and Europeans.

    He's pointing at us, the United States of America.

    Too bad Canada doesn't have a real military in any sense of the word.

    The U.S. should have Greenland.

    Denmark can give it to us, sell it to us or we can take it.

    It would be the most sensible thing by far to choose one of the two former options. That way they can maintain healthy relations with the United States.

    I was stationed at Tyndall Air Force Base back in the day. Once a year we had an air to air combat contest between different bases called William Tell and the Canadiens were always in attendance and always faired quite well. Liked to party as well. Lots of Brodour beer

    The United States has 2,650 fighter Jets.

    Canada has 79 fighter jets... mostly antiquated CF-18 Hornet's...

    Our capabilities are worlds apart.

    Canadian service members are assuredly nice and friendly but that doesn't mean their military isn't impotent.

    Greenland is part of NATO. If the U.S. uses military force to "take it," they could invoke Article 5 for collective defense against the aggressor, the U.S. I can’t believe I just typed that. It’s a crazy time. And boy, some posters here are really revealing themselves now. I’m not sure whether it’s a cult of personality or they were lying all these years. Whatever it is, I have zero respect left for them.

    Trump and his supporters are evil, greedy POS's, all of them.

    They see a little guy get bullied, and side with the bully. They have zero moral compass. There are plenty of times I could have stolen, or raped and got away with it. But I never did because it's f**king wrong, it's not complicated.

    You can't just take s**t, but as we've established, Trump and his people are the rapey, take what they want type, and proud of it.

    How many fighter jets did North Vietnam have? Afghanistan? Iraq? An invasion of Canada would be immensely stupid and likely start a civil war here.
