Usha Vance was reportedly scheduled to attend a dogsled race in the foreign country, sharing in a video statement on Instagram that she was “reading all about it with my children” and was looking “forward to meeting” the island’s residents.

“I’m also coming to celebrate the long history of mutual respect and cooperation between our nations and to express hope that our relationship will only grow stronger in the coming years,” the second lady said. “See you soon!”

Has she not noticed that her husband and his boss keep promising to invade these people’s country? Has she not realized that people don’t like being threatened daily with invasion? Does she not know that “hope that our relationship will only grow stronger in the coming years” is completely incompatible with threatening every day to destroy the people you’re talking to?

Is this about Americans not realizing that other countries are real places that real people care about, and not just quaint scenery for the taking?
