JD Vance admits that he wasn’t entirely sure why Trump wanted Greenland in the first place

Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance visited the territory for just a few hours

Vice President JD Vance told U.S. service members at a Greenland base that he only recently realized what they were doing there.

Vance and his wife, second lady Usha Vance, went on a “national security” visit to the autonomous territory, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, on Friday. The vice president’s boss, President Donald Trump, has said the US needs Greenland for international safety and security and has suggested his willingness to take it by any means necessary.

The Vice President has now fully embraced Trump’s point of view, despite conceding that he understands Americans’ apprehension over the pursuit of the land.

“I think a lot of Americans wonder why does Greenland matter so much?” Vance said during his remarks at the Pituffik Space Base. “And I have learned a lot about that today myself. You can read about it in a book, but I saw it up close and personal."

2. Landing lights..

Sorry JD this isn't manifest destiny, or the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, under the Newlands Law.

Trump is so stuck on McKinley he is mimicking some of his policies, ala tariffs.

3. Assuming it's all true, and Greenland is so important for international safety

and security, what's wrong with leaving it under the protection of another NATO member, Denmark? Why does the US have to own it? We have a large military base there and probably could negotiate to increase US presence - there used to be more bases in Greenland. The answer, of course, is that Greenland looks really huge - much bigger than it really is - on a Mercator projection map, which makes Trump's willy tingle. Also, it has mineral resources buried under hundreds of feet of ice.

4. Yeah, JD "saw it up close and personal."

When Trump told him to jump, JD responded, "How high, Sir?"

5. So American foreign policy is...if we want something just take it?

[WestMichRad]

6. Yes, of course!

“If we want it, it should be ours.”

Manifest destiny run amok. Idiocy.
