“The comparison between life in the United States and life in Denmark is not just polemical. Musk-Trump treat Europe as though it were some decadent abyss… But Europe is not only home to our traditional allies; it is an enviable zone of democracy, wealth and prosperity with which it benefits us to have good relations, and from which we can sometimes learn.”

“Hans Christian Andersen told the unforgettable tale of the naked emperor. In Greenland what we saw was American imperialism with no clothes. Naked and vain.”

“We really do have a problem taking responsibility. The United States has fallen well behind its allies and its rivals in the Arctic, in part because members of Vance’s political party denied for decades the reality of global warming…”

“There are only a couple hundred Americans at Pituffik where once there were ten thousand; there is only that one US base on the island [Greenland] where once there were a dozen; but that is American policy, not Denmark’s fault.”

“Greenland, Denmark, and the United States have been enmeshed in complex and effective security arrangements…for the better part of a century. Arctic security, an issue discovered by Trump and Vance very recently, was a preoccuption for decades during and after the cold war.”

”…Vance opposes helping Ukraine, spreads Russian propaganda…, and is best known for yelling at Ukraine’s president in the Oval Office. …the response of Musk-Trump has been to ignore this larger reality completely while allowing Biden-era aid to Ukraine to come to an end. Denmark meanwhile has given more than four times as much aid to Ukraine, per capita, as does the United States.”

”It takes some patience to unwind all of the nonsense… When Vance says that Denmark is not protecting Greenland…, he is wishing away generations of cooperation, as well as the NATO alliance itself. … The threat in the Arctic…is Russia… But right now the United States is supporting Russia… No one is doing more to contain the Russian threat than Ukraine.”

So #ushavance is now NO LONGER going to #greenland as the travel agency involved said she is not welcome with them.

Then #vance had reps canvas house to house, and business to business trying to find a place for them to stay, and not a single person let them.

I love this, as #maga folks were talking up a storm about how Greenland wanted to be part of the #usa

Now the trip is cancelled, and there is no way to spin it that they do want this!

EVERYONE said no.

Lol.

“American representatives have been walking around [Greenland], practically knocking on one door after another in the past few days to ask if people might be interested in a visit from the Vice President’s wife [Usha Vance]. Everywhere, the answer was the same: ‘No, thanks.’"

It should be seen as a hint, that all the money spent ba Mark #Zuckerberg does not convince #Trump and #Vance, that #Whatsapp is a secure messenger. And having their poor understanding of technology in mind, it becomes clear, that whatsapp is obviously insecure.

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.

The Stupidity Is the Point

Trump’s Cabinet members proved their incompetence by including a prominent journalist in their private war chat. But then again, incompetence is kind of why they got their jobs.

Apparently when you travel to the US, free speech is not allowed. Vance comments in Europe about freedom and free speech sound more hollow then ever before.
"The tactics have unnerved foreign tourists and sent a chill through immigrant communities in the United States, who say they are being targeted for speech — not for breaking any laws."

Trump’s Deportation Agenda Expands to Legal Immigrants and Tourists

U.S. border officials are using more aggressive tactics at ports of entry as the administration scrutinizes green card and visa holders who have expressed opposition to its policies.

#vance is not misguided, he is a #fascist - plain and simple so everyone can understand that.

Oleksandra Povoroznyk, "My four-year-old gets anxious whenever he has to take his nap in the daycare's makeshift bomb shelter, which is almost daily. He also gets anxious whenever we wake him up in the middle of the night to take him to the bathroom because there are explosions outside our home. STFU. JD Vance, "Today while walking my 3 year old daughter a group of "Slava Ukraini" protestors followed us around and shouted as my daughter grew increasingly anxious and scared.

“Vance presents Zelens'kyi as a corrupt liar… The man who insisted that the Americans (and indeed he himself personally) were the real heroes, Donald Trump, told Jews last fall they would be held responsible if he lost the election -- among many other things.”

“If we consider for a moment the men who tried to humiliate him, …the picture only sharpens and clarifies. The man who asked him about his clothes, Brian Glenn, is a conspiracy-theorizing far-right journalist. … The man who demanded deference and spoke of "propaganda tours," JD Vance, had just returned from Germany, where he made a point of publicly supporting the German far right.”

“It's all right there: the demand for deference, the obsession with money, the claims of corruption and dishonesty, the encirclement, the loud voices, the bizarre grievances, the underlying sense that a Jewish person does not fit and must be expelled.”

“As always with antisemitism, facts are no defense. Zelens'kyi consistently thanks Americans, as can be easily verified. He is the elected president of a country that is a democratic republic under a constitution. Zelens'kyi won the last election with 73% and his approval rating is now 68%… Zelens'kyi has been personally courageous. He stayed in Kyiv when everyone expected him to flee.”

“Zelens'kyi was portrayed as someone who was taking our cash, giving is nothing in return, ripping us off. He was also mocked for not knowing how to dress for the space, as not belonging. And his deference was demanded: "Have you said thank you once?" "Offer some words of appreciation." And then was thrown out of the White House. And told to resign his office as president of Ukraine.”

“The Americans portrayed themselves as the real heroes because they provided some of the weapons. The suffering of Ukrainians went unmentioned. An attempt to refer to it was cruelly and falsely reduced to a "propaganda tours" led by Zelens'kyi. The Americans portrayed themselves as the real victims of the because they paid for some of the weapons. It was all, bizarrely, about money.”

”It was all there, in the Oval Office, in the shouting and in the interruptions, in the noises and in the silences. A courageous man…had to be brought down. When he said things that were simply true he was shouted down and called a propagandist. There was no acknowledgement of Zelens'kyi's bravery in remaining in Kyiv.”

”…my first, reflexive reactions was: these are non-Jews trying to intimidate a Jew. Three against one. A roomful against one. An antisemitic scene. And the more I listened to the words, the more that reaction was confirmed. … These things are complex, and personal. But not for the antisemite.”

”The way that I reacted to the scene in the Oval Office, and how I have pondered and considered it since, have to do with my research… Jews had to show deference. Germans mocked the ways Jews dressed. That was before they were sent to the ghetto and murdered. Jews were scapegoated, made responsible for what the Germans wished to do anyway.”

Antisemitism in the Oval Office

A confrontation seen with a historian's eye
Timothy Snyder (Thinking about...)
#Trump #antisemitism #zelensky #zelenskyy #JDVance #vance #Zelenskyj #zelenskyi

”In the White House, Zelens'kyi asked Vance whether he had ever been to Ukraine, which is a reasonable question. … Indeed, one of the most striking moments…was Vance yelling at Zelens'kyi that Zelens'kyi is "wrong." Vance makes judgements on the basis of numbers, without any knowledge of how the battlefield looks or works. He also ignores the human factor, treating war as a math problem in which big numbers always win…”
—Timothy Snyder, The War Trump Chooses

#zelensky #zelenskyy #JDVance #vance

”Also telling was the way Vance responded to Zelens'kyi's question. … He started with the weird idea that Zelens'kyi was to blame for Vance's failure to visit Ukraine, because Zelens'kyi just took people on "propaganda tours." … He was, after all, a United States Senator, and then the Vice-President of the United States. He could have planned the journey as he liked, and others would have made the arrangements for him.”
—Timothy Snyder, The War Trump Chooses
#jdvance #vance #zelensky #zelenskyy
#zelensky #zelenskyy #JDVance #vance

”Perhaps sensing the awkwardness of his position, Vance then shifted to yelling at Zelens'kyi that he needed to thank President Trump. … In this setting, the compulsive demand for ceaseless gratitude on demand is not only unreasonable: it shifts into the abuser's need to be portrayed by the victim as the great benefactor.”

”The courage of Ukrainians made possible an American and European policy to hold back Russian aggression. That same Zelens'kyi, the man who was brave enough to stay and lead his country when the Russians were approaching the capital and the assassination squads were already there, was yesterday made the subject of a public attempt at humiliation by Americans.”

”Yesterday Vance and Trump repeated familiar Russian propaganda. One example was Trump's claim that it was the Ukrainians who, by resisting Russia, were risking "World War Three." The truth is exactly the opposite. By abandoning Ukraine, Trump is risking a terrible escalation and, indeed, a world war.”

”In the White House yesterday, those who wished to be seen as strong tried to intimidate those they regarded as weak. Human courage in defense of freedom was demeaned in the service of a Russian fascist regime. American state power was shifted from the defense of the victim to the support of the aggressor. All of this took place in a climate of unreason, … in favor of a world in which he who attacks is always right.”
