Following #JDVance's trip, on 31 Mar, Col Meyers is reported to have written: "I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the #US administration discussed by VP Vance on Fri are not reflective of #Pituffik Space Base."
…Appearing to confirm this was the reason for her firing, chief #Pentagon spox linked to the article in a post on X, writing: "Actions [that] undermine the chain of command or to subvert President #Trump's agenda will not be tolerated…."

Hundreds protested in #Denmark after U.S. VP #JDVance accused the country of failing Greenland and Arctic security during a visit to #Pituffik Space Base xhtxs.cn/2mc

@samlitzinger Complaining about NYT distracts from the way more important news they may have missed.

JD Vance tells US troops in Greenland, stationed in that part of the Kingdom of Denmark under an agreement with Denmark, that the US has to gain control of Greenland.

About as aggressive as it gets.

Let's be clear. #Vance did not visit #Greenland, because he realized he'd be met with protests if he did. He flew to #Pituffik Air Base (which I'm sure he wants to rename back to Thule Air Base, as an insult to the locals), met some US troops stationed there, and slinkered back to DC like the coward he is.

"JD Vance and his wife Usha, along with the US officials in their travelling party, have just boarded Air Force Two and will soon depart Greenland.

They spent just a few hours on the island, and will be up in the air for around six hours before landing at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

An overwhelming majority of #Greenlanders oppose the idea of #American annexation, a poll indicated in January. #Greenland's prime minister has said the #US visit showed a "lack of respect".

Vance & his wife were in Greenland for just a few hours, visiting just the #Pituffik Space Base, a missile defence facility in the remote north of the island, some 930 miles (1,500km) from the capital, #Nuuk. #auspol #USPol

🇬🇱 GREENLAND
🔴 JD Vance Alters Trip to Avoid Protests

🔸 VP Vance skips public events, visits Pituffik Space Base instead.
🔸 Greenland, Denmark weren’t consulted; PM calls it “unacceptable pressure.”
🔸 Trump again pushes for US control of Greenland: “We have to convince them.”
🔸 Protests, independence fears, and coalition tensions intensify in Nuuk.

@Nazani

the has a base there for a long time

now apparently called

Under agreement with

Because that's how it works: you make agreements with friends

But apparently the way it works now is an entitled child points his stubby fingers and goes "mine" and it's his, who gives a fuck what or think

They only live there- why do they matter? (/s)

And apparently means nothing

So fucking stupid
