You know, you could imagine a world where the US was a good neighbor, the kind you could borrow salt from in a pinch, the kind that didn't threaten territorial expansion, where Usha Vance could have had a nice little three-day vacation, seen the sights, taken in a sled dog race, mingled with the locals--without being protested. Sure, they might not have been as thrilled to see her husband, but that would only because Jerkwater Dipshit Vance is kind of a pill.
We don't live in that world now. We live in a world where people went door-knocking to see if anyone wanted to visit with the Second Lady and everyone in Greenland was like, "Hard pass."
This is why what could have been a nice little weekend became three hours at Pituffik AFB, where VP Vance, with servicemembers as a backdrop, made a kind of creepy speech in Greenland's general direction, with comments that sounded along the lines of, "Nice but very cold place, would be a shame if something happened to it," and "Denmark could never love you the way we could."
Some people are just not very good at picking up the vibe that they are not wanted.
Despite trying to put a good face on this definitely not supposed to be about "maybe if we don't get what we want we take it because what are you all gonna do about it, cry?" Janky Dialoguer Vance let the feline slip out of the knapsack:
Q: Do you agree with Trump that we 'have to have Greenland'?

Vance: The president said we have to have Greenland, and we can't just ignore his desires pic.twitter.com/i781wYNF73
"We can't just ignore his desires." Nothing particularly changed to make the situation more dangerous now than it had ever been. The president just wants what he wants and JD is here to facilitate. Like a comic book supervillain's henchman, he isn't here to think about the point of the megalomania, he's just got a paying job and not a lot of scruples about it.
Did I ever mention I sure do hate JD Vance?

Yeah, I respect a good, well-deserved hate.
I laughed my ass off while watching these two clowns deplane to a mostly empty reception. Set diplomacy back to "Ugly American" status. Maybe the Vance's should self deport to Moscow. They'll fit right in.
And you know every single one of those service members providing a breathing backdrop for Vance was thinking: “Why the fuck would we want this frozen shithole?”
