Meanwhile. JD Vance and his wife spent only three hours in Greenland during a visit—entirely on a U.S. military base. Protests and a full business boycott forced them to leave, as locals refused to serve or admit them anywhere.
@noelreports How do the brains at the Maga White House work?
"We are going to occupy your country soon. But first we will pay you a visit and we expect all of you to cheer us on"
Really?
They keep hoping history repeats itself, like when Hitler annexed Austria and the people there were told to be thrilled when he visited.
@Sanderde @QuantumAspect @noelreports @gemelliz Unfortunately, most Austrians did welcome the Nazis and didn't mind being part of Germany. No fun being communist or social democrat though.
@nichni @Sanderde @QuantumAspect @noelreports @gemelliz
Hitler was from Austria. Would Austrians see it as Germany annexing Austria or Austria annexing Germany?
Perhaps the people in Greenland would see things differently if a Greenlander had assumed power in the US and wanted to unite the US with his home country?
@leeloo @Sanderde @QuantumAspect @noelreports @gemelliz Correct, I had forgotten that part. Also bear in mind that Austria must have been in a kind of existential crisis after the loss of the Empire after World War 1.
