“It’s safe to say we would rather not have him [Vance] in Greenland,” a government source in Copenhagen said.

Perhaps in Pituffik, he can get handful of frozen sled-dog pooh or a nice yellow snowcone

Get a frosty reception wherever he goes? He has the personality of a bent shitcan. And trump is finding out that every day more and more Americans who voted for him don’t like bent shitcans.

11. OOoo I like that!!! Then again that might give tfg/musk/putin Ideas for a "false flag" operation...nt

7. Greenland should close our base there

Immediately. Refuse all incoming air traffic, only outgoing.

8. They should be spied on for sure and monitor their every move

But no high officials should meet with or greet them etc.

10. -20 or -30F and no one from Greenland to meet them

A few hundred airmen/spacemen, mostly US. Nothing to do, nowhere to go, not much to see, brutal weather.

12. Greenland would rather receive Americans.

Or at least that's my sense of things.
