WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that he’s joining his wife on a Friday trip to Greenland, suggesting in an online video that global security is at stake.

“We’re going to check out how things are going there,” Vance said in a video shared Tuesday. “Speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it’s important to protecting the security of the entire world.”

    America’s allies alarmed by a leaked group chat about attack plans

    As wake-up calls go, the alarms don’t get much louder. Allies of the United States see the group chat between top U.S. officials about a planned attack in Yemen that accidentally included a journalist as a jaw-dropping security breach which casts doubt on intelligence-sharing with Washington and the security of joint military operations.

    Israel just killed two journalists in Gaza on ‘another bloody day’ of genocide

    Because the apartheid state has prevented international reporters from entering the occupied Palestinian territory, local reporters have been the ones putting their lives and jobs on the line to get the truth out about Israel’s war crimes. And occupation forces have murdered around 200 Palestinian media workers since October 2023.

  • Look at this guy justifying the extermination of literal children with a timesofisrael articles and a wikipedia page… this is unhinged. You can try and spin it as an educational post, but reading through the different statements you’ve made regarding this genocide, you clearly do not value the lives of Palestinians and their right of self determination as highly as you do israelis.

    I laughed when I read your futile attempt at moral redemption.

    White supremacists hunting down and exterminating migrants and POC

    You: "I mean there are several reports about criminals being POC and migrants eating pets, look at this Joe Rogan podcast or this Newsmax article. Still I do not condone violence, it’s very very bad."

  • Biden and the democrats are far left? Come on... As a European, that sounds absurd.

    In the US political spectrum, democrats are center-left at most. Compared to European politics, they'd even be considered center-right or conservative on many issues.

  • Fair point, It could be. Just know that, in any case, my comment was not directed towards yours.

    I only used this opportunity to further explain my perspective regarding BBC coverage, that I wasn’t endorsing any kind of whitewashing.

  • Ahah it truly does! Especially when I invite partners, some get uneasy, thinking it’s some kind of trophy of some kind. Can get awkward but it’s a pretty effective glass breaker.

    On the advice of my highly paid counsel, I respectfully decline to answer that question and invoke the fifth, trump style.

  • I worked in courts and the sketch artists are something else. One time, one of them sketched me in 5min. I looked so bummed and guilty that I felt like I was staring down a 25 year sentence. To this day I still keep the drawing on my wall ( ˘ ³˘)
