American tax payers will now pay for a hospital ship which will be sent to Greenland, Trump claims on Truth Social.

Yep. Me too. First thought, and it is still sticking.

@randahl it’s probably trump’s attempt at a trojan horse, it can’t be just plain stupidity, right

"Even if many an illusion flees, That once your heart rejoices, the wine already gives you comfort through oblivion! Happy is he who forgets, which cannot be changed."

ARD Klassik: Strauss (Sohn) · Glücklich ist, wer vergisst! · Polka-Mazurka nach Motiven der Operette 'Die Fledermaus' · WDR Funkhausorchester · Alfred Eschwé · WDR - hier anschauen

Das WDR Funkhausorchester unter Leitung von Alfred Eschwé spielt 'Glücklich ist, wer vergisst!', eine Polka-Mazurka nach Motiven der Operette 'Die Fledermaus' von Johann Strauss (Sohn). Die Aufnahme von 2024 ist eine Produktion des WDR.

"Happy is he who forgets what can no longer be changed" comes from the operetta "Die Fledermaus" by Johann Strauss, whose libretto was written by Karl Haffner and Richard Genée.

.. However, centuries earlier, Emperor Frederick III had already adopted the Latin version Rerum irrecuperabilium felix oblivio as his motto.

.. and in this particular case, DT has certainly and fortunately already forgotten that the world will remember all these "little" scenes ..

@nygl @randahl greenland has six hospitals, bed capacity per person comparable with the usa, and free healthcare. why would they

[claushc@mastodon.social]

@randahl Considering the State of American health care in general, and the stupidity of the health care practice promoted by Kennedy in detail, would it then be possible to prosecute the ship and its doctors as quacks or snake oil salesmen after the local laws in Greenland and/or Denmark?

@randahl Doesn't look like it. https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=7390454 and https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=7390478 . Seem to be docked or moored. At full speed they would be there in 8days, but time to activate ist 5 days. But i can't find any reoports for this. If they would leave dock or mooring, the ship spotters would be all over it.

Guess where this US hospital ship seems to be coming from… Louisiana.

@randahl my guess is neither TACO nor Whiskey-Pete thought about that. it's just the old and boring "hej, look - a squirrel!"-game.

[anotherdaniel@chaos.social]

@markus_falk @notsoloud @Vonskinnback @randahl The US has an even more special position in this regard, at least for now: the Dollar being the de-facto world currency means that you can issue debt (print money) like there’s no tomorrow, because Dollar debt used to be a desirable (and tradable) asset. Which the US has been living off for decades, at this point.

@deadDuck @AnnieBuddy @randahl do you suppose the "caregivers" are all vaccinated?

[the_turtle@mastodon.sdf.org]

@randahl no, it's time for brain removal.

If I was Greenland, I would refuse them at all ports and tell them to go the fuck home before they torpedo it or strafe it like Venezuelan boats.

[rjohnston@techhub.social]

@randahl It's just such a bizarre proposal. And I've never heard of an ice-reinforced hospital ship from Louisiana. Damage seems inevitable.
