JD Vance gives much longer speech and answers reporters questions inside the US military base in Greenland:
Greenlanders got a pretty good deal from Danish rule, I'd say. Good living standards, Christianity (albeit Lutheranism), European education, and a high degree of autonomy. You look at a place like Gaza and thank God it was some Danes and Norwegians who landed on your shores centuries ago.
Christianity helped every land it spread to, the belief and gospel of God and Jesus are beautiful enriching things. Islam and Judaism just trashed whatever they came across including my ancestors lands.
Inuit Greenlander society is comparable to that of their cousins in Canada, aka high suicide rates, high sexual abuse rates, high alcoholism and drug abuse rates and high unemployment rates. Like in Canada the dysfunction gets subsidized by the State.
Link below is about a case study in Tasiilaq that revealed that about half of the people under 60 were sexually abused as a child, often by their immediate family. Also close to 1/10 of the Greenlanders (which includes Danes who bring the statistics down) end their life by suicide. That means that in every school class (~30 kids) on average 3 alumni will eventually hang or shoot themselves.

Trump and Vance on the geostrategic importance of Greenland. Highlighted below that is confirmation of the growing Chinese engagement with Greenland. Just yesterday the Greenland FM stated that Greenland will prioritize cooperation with China.

Denmark is a longtime NATO member state. They helped occupy ("peace-keep") Kosovo and have basically gone along with most American military misadventures (e.g., actively supporting the invasion and occupation of Iraq). Now they are listening to Americans like JD Vance talk about how Denmark cannot protect Greenland and that the United States is needed to keep the peace. I bet many Serbs are grimacing.
Pete Hegseth was in Panama yesterday, progress on increasing cooperation with the Panamese. The US and Panama signed a deal on free and prioritized passage for US warships and auxiliary vessels in the canal.
Additionally there are rumours of a joint Mulina-Hegseth Declaration, so far there hasn't been a US equivalent of the Spanish version below meaning it's likely fake. Points mentioned. 1. Panama leaves the Silk Road/BRI, 2.Panama and US resume military exercises and 3. Panama will help rollback communist advances in the region.
In addition Hegseth mentioned US' intention to reopen US military facilities in Panama like the jungle school

Danish ambassador to the US isn't happy about the new wave of memes
Katie Miller, who posted the US flag covered picture of Greenland, is Trump Advisor Stephen Miller's wife, so this was indirectly from the Trump administration.

Someone is trying to move the Overton window on Greenland!
Bro, my new American Dream is to die in Greenland with a hot Venezuelan wife.
All the chuds have been F5ing skyscanner like crazy, everything sold out and everyone wants to be the first dollarized blue eyed gringo jumping off that plane. Once at destination do watch your wallet and kidneys though.
The theory I've seen going around is that the US will pay $1,000,000 to every man, woman, and child in Greenland if they agree to join the US. That's about $50 billion, which would be a decent price given the strategic value, not to mention the potential economic value from mining.
I suppose the threat of military force as an alternate solution provides a nice carrot and stick setup.
The crazy part is that this would work, let them vote who the hell would vote against it other than maybe the less than 1% who don't want the money or have an underlying agenda. A million isn't a crazy amount of money anymore but I wonder what that does to have every member of a population all of a sudden become a millionaire, that would be interesting and come with some issues I'm sure....
You could pay the million dollars to each person in 10 or 20 or 30 year installments, depending on a person's age.
That's smart, that would alleviate a lot of issues and you would get some really patriotic citizens overnight
. I would do it over a long period regardless of age, alleviates it even more. Tell them you're getting a little under 3k a month for 30 years, decent percentage of the population doesn't see it out and the 3k is worth less and less as time goes by. Haha it will never happen but it would work!
