    Who said Vance believes this? Most comments on this post are implying or outright stating that Greenland actually needs protection from the USA, not any other boogeyman. You’re arguing against a strawman.

    The context of this post is not even about the statements from Vance anyway, it’s about pointing out the constant hypocrisy - Vance was just complaining about Zelensky not wearing a suit and heres Vance, wearing casual clothing at an official international press statement.

    But hey, your shouting, insulting and complaining at the whole Lemmy community is really helping get across your point that everyone already understood anyway. iamverysmart energy.

      Who said Vance believes this?

      To be fair, after reading his Signal messages: that guy really seems to swallow up his own propaganda, he really seems to be that stupid. Doesn’t mean, the overall government strategy isn’t exactly as described, could just be that Shady Vance is not in on the joke or he also needed to pretend for some others in that chat

        That was the wildest part of that leak is seeing that his public and private personas are identical. I’m not sure if that’s comforting or terrifying to know

      it’s about pointing out the constant hypocrisy

      Which is missing the goddamn point. It’s not regular garden variety standard MAGA hypocrisy, it’s a causus belli.

        Nah. The image screenshot is asking ‘where is his suit’ and OP is referring to it also. The fact you wanna go off on everyone about a tangential issue and say they’re missing the point is some cool irony though.

        Also, casus belli is an act or event used to justify a war - that’s not happened here, this is rhetoric only. You are probably thinking of jus ad bellum.
