Vice President JD Vance criticized Denmark on Friday for what he called an "underinvestment" in Greenland, saying there was "very strong evidence" that Russia and China want the island and access to its resources. Vance's remarks at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland come as President Donald Trump advocates for a United States takeover of the island.

"Our message to Denmark is very simple," Vance said during the visit. "You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland. Denmark has not kept pace in devoting the resources necessary to keep this base, to keep our troops, and in my view to keep the people of Greenland safe from a lot of aggressive incursions from Russia, from China, and from other nations."

"Why does Greenland matter so much?" Vance said. "We know that Russia and China and other nations are taking an extraordinary interest in Arctic passageways, Arctic naval routes, and in the minerals of the Arctic territories. We need to ensure America is leading in the Arctic."

Nothing like a little fearmongering to show your weakness, Vance. magas are stupid enough to believe it but the smarter people of Greenland sure the hell won't.
