I guess the american imperialist assumption is that, come hell or high water, Canada will be the 51st state, so they are already on number 52.
"I apologise it was taken that way. I was with a group of friends and there was nothing serious about it.”
Haven’t we heard that enough by now to know that’s a pathetic, bullshit excuse? What you say with friends reveals something about you and how you think. The guy could’ve said nothing and he’d have been fine, but for some reason the idea of taking over Iceland was in his mind and for some reason he felt comfortable making light of it. If infringing on another country’s sovereignty is such a non-issue that he feels comfortable joking about it, he’s clearly not fit to be an ambassador. (Though as a Trump-appointee, it’s hardly surprising he’s not fit for the job.)
I’ve had mental health professionals use that non-apology and insist it must suffice and absolution is owed, I do not think it is going away anytime soon.
Fuck these people
This oompa loompa looking motherfucker probably couldn’t even point to Iceland on a map. These backwater idiots need to just die already.
He looks like tweedledee fucked a toad.
Funny; I joined Lemmy today in hopes of a slightly higher standard of discourse than the last platform. But, I have to admit, that’s very accurate… well done.
Well there are multiple instances of Lemmy if you want to try another
That’s insulting to Oompa Loompas. Dude is Humpty Dumpty. These guys are really on the expansionist vibe. They just rooked the Americans and they think they can con the rest of us like we don’t let our people go to actual school or something?!
Maybe the us will balkanize before Russia.
So his excuse is people were joking about the US invading Greenland and so naturally they started joking about the US invading Iceland.
Yeah that tracks, a totally innocent comment that no one could possibly take offence to in any way. Except of course the US is threatening to invade Greenland so it’s not really a joke. More statement of future intent.
Even in current circumstances; your average Joe could perhaps pass the suggestion off as some kind of sardonic humour… but actually being the US Ambassador to Iceland and saying it? That’s either a brain-dead lack of self-awareness, a thinly veiled ‘flex’ to your Republican peers or, of course, both.
We have a sign for that.
Don’t know it in ISL although.
I don’t speak sign. What is this?
It’s a bull taking a s**t. Pretty cool
