    This oompa loompa looking motherfucker probably couldn’t even point to Iceland on a map. These backwater idiots need to just die already.

      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?!

    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.

        It is. Collapse the US economy and alienate its citizens internationally so they have no where to run. From the ashes the techbro billionaires build a libertarian hellscape of FreedomCities.

      US companies won’t get expelled. They’ll be forced to rename and still funnel money. As long as the EU has capitalism it’ll find a way to get money to the US billionaires.

        Not expelled maybe, but the trade will totally crash. Trading with a US company will be an enormous risk and EU citizens will be fourius.

    I was with a group of friends and there was nothing serious about it

    Nice of him to summarize his entire political decision-making framework for us.

    "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.)

    This Jabba the Hutt motherfucker was my rep when I used to live in that part of Missouri. He is one of the most disgusting people I’ve ever seen.

      Nah, the US is going for the “easy” targets first.

      My guess for the order is Greenland, Iceland, Mexico, Canada with other small Middle American countries sprinkled after Mexico and during/after Canada.

      I just hope the US implodes first.

        The US cant even maintain a war against rice farmers. They arent going to sustain wars against that many countries with hostile populations. The US military may be the best in the world but the US itself can barely hold itself together, let alone new territory.

        Also if they invade us I will personally go down the Geneva Convention list and implement every war crime imaginable.
