#Nuuk

WARNING: OJoelsen is RIGHT. Moving the #US Consulate from a small hut to a 32,200 sqft concrete building signals plans for invasion and annexation. Closing 10 embassies and 17 consulates in #Africa & #Asia to establish a base in #Nuuk suggests preparing for military occupation, involving Homeland Security, ICE, and American police. DanishMFA should cancel this lease immediately.

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

lol apparently the reason JD Vance's trip to #Nuuk was canceled was that they could not find a single person in #Nuuk who wanted to receive an in home visit from the vice president's family.

According to Danish TV they literally knocked on every door in the entire city (not that hard, there's only ~5,000 houses) trying to find someone who wanted an in home visit from Usha Vance... and 100% of the Greenlanders said no.

"Huge crowds streamed into the polling station in Greenland's capital, Nuuk, throughout the day, warmed by sunny skies. Exhausted voting officials closed the polls well after the planned 8pm local time (2200 GMT) to make sure everyone in line got a chance to cast their ballot."
