President Donald Trump said the U.S. will "go as far as we have to go" to get control of Greenland, ahead of a planned visit to the Arctic island by the vice president.

Summary

Trump stated the U.S. will “go as far as we have to go” to gain control of Greenland, citing national and international security needs.

JD Vance will visit Greenland’s Pituffik military base, scaling back a broader visit amid backlash from Greenland and Denmark.

Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede condemned the move as “aggressive pressure” and insisted that “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.”

Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, asserting that U.S. control is essential for security.

        Anyone who didn’t vote is especially responsible.

        Fucking dumbasses that they are.

        Excuse me for missing that finally refined nuance.

              Everyone named plastic/ramses is a complete moron

              Well that’s great because my username isn’t that lol

              Also, only a complete moron would assume I’m blaming people who cannot vote because it is illegal.

              I’m blaming people like you, who would rather get bogged down in semantics than understand that Trump was much worse than whatever thing they blamed kamala for.
