And particularly when it detracts from his agenda and his feeling that these first two months have been enormously successful in terms of dominating the news cycle, flooding the zone, as they put it. This stuff does distract from that.

Es sieht nicht gut aus. Es sieht nicht besonders kompetent aus. Es sieht ein bisschen sensationalistisch aus, wenn ich das Wort benutzen kann. Es sieht ein bisschen wie die Jungs und ihre Spiele aus, wenn man sich die Details anschaut. Es war nicht sehr sauber, war es nicht? Es gab viele Leute, die Emojis zurück und zurück sendeten. Wir sprechen hier über Bomben und Missilien fliegen.

Der andere Risiko für sie ist, dass in Bezug auf Moral in den Armtservice, es viele Leute, viele Ex-Militärtypen in den letzten Tagen gesagt haben, wenn ich das gemacht hätte, wenn ich in der Uniform wäre, hätte ich mich verurteilt. Es ist also ein Gefahr, dass dies die Disziplin im Militär unterbreitet und manche Leute denken, wenn sie es tun können, warum kann ich es nicht?

Er sagt in einem Video-Statement, dass er seine Frau nicht all die Spaß haben wird und er will die Sicherheitssituation dort beobachten. Er geht also zu dieser militärischen Base, die Amerika's most northern base ist, im Nordwesten der Insel, wo sie Missilesurveillance und Spacesurveillance machen.

I think it's slightly out of the blue in the sense that, you know, this was just a video statement that dropped today. I don't know whether it has anything to do with the current news cycle that the administration is in, which is not a good one for them with the security problems over this signal group with the details that were shared with the journalist.

The thing it definitely does is it really raises the temperature, the diplomatic temperature, because he's now the most senior person, senior administration person to make the trip to Greenland.

When the original trip was announced, Usha Vance was going to go to this dog sled race, which she's not going to, and Mike Waltz, the national security advisor, along with another cabinet member, were also going to go. Und Greenland's Prime Minister at the time said this was an aggressive move. And Greenland has just had some elections. They're in the midst of forming a new government.

And, you know, they are clearly feeling the pressure. So if they think the Second Lady and a couple of cabinet members are an aggressive move, then adding the VP to that mix doesn't really diminish that.

Not as far as we know. And in many senses, I don't know the details of the agreement that the US has over that particular base, but it's not unusual for members of the administration to visit bases. But the wider context of this is clear, and it's that the US would like... for two reasons, more access to Greenland.

One is its natural resources, but also Greenland has been and is hugely strategic in its position. It's in the mid-Atlantic, it's on the edge of the Arctic Circle. We know that the Arctic is increasingly a place of great power politics for various reasons. So there are all sorts of reasons why geopolitically Greenland is of interest to all sorts of people.
