Anger in Iceland over incoming US ambassador’s ‘52nd state’ joke

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

Let's see how US ambassadors and diplomats will feel in 5 years, with all the bridges to allies that are currently being burned.

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.

One Americans point of view.

"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 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 actually believe him this was just a stupid joke but I still think they should deny him entry and reject him as an ambassador because fuck him, that's why. Don't give those fuckers any benefit of the doubt, use any excuse you can get to hurt them.

Calling it a joke is too charitable to this fascist.

He looks like a worthless old pedofile.

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.

This guy heard "Danish" and thought "cheese or raspberry", the fat fuck.

If “does this look infected?” was a person.

You dont have to accept the governor who’s been recommended by the us govetnment.

There's a guy who has indulged every craving he's ever had.

Let the ambassador move there then expel him a day later

So either Canada or Greenland is off the hook

I think Finland would have said bye bye to him for that. USA could then have sent someone else to replace him.
Iceland cannot, because it doesn't have an army of its own.

Look at that fat bastard. Just look at it!

This obese thumbheaded fuckwit should not be allowed into Iceland.

Big words coming from a guy looking like a molten E.T.

Go fuck yourself E.T.

Wait.. 52nd? Did something happen while I was sleeping?

This might as well where the words PERSONA NON GRATA are best applied.

Otherwise sic Bjork on him.

Ah, he’s from Misery. Shocker.

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.

"Joke"

Maybe the us will balkanize before Russia.
