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

@randahl
The Greeks sent a horse to Troy.
Just saying…

[mc@toot.houbahouba.de]

@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.

[javensbukan@mstdn.ca]

@randahl Time to reset the "Days since I've read the dumbest thing in my life so far by Trump" counter.

[david@cosocial.ca]

@vampirdaddy @randahl And the actual hospital ships they have are both in dry dock for year-long refurbishing.

[lauriekay9@mastodon.social]

@randahl Somebody must have just told him the story of the Trojan horse. He thinks he’s being brilliant.

[jasonb@sigmoid.social]

@vosje62 @markus_falk @randahl Or it's a play, he's not sending them (due to dry dock) and sending something else? I mean he thinks if he says it then everyone in the world will believe it's true.

If I was Denmark/Europe, I'd be taking a closer watch at what is approaching Greenland from the US now.

[vosje62@mastodon.nl]

@jasonb @markus_falk @randahl

I don't care what he does...
In this it is totally his problem.

[asbjornn@expressional.social]

@randahl Do we know the name of the ship? Would it hapen to be "Delay. Deny. Defend."

[firefly@m.ai6yr.org]

@deepmud @randahl spot on.

[heinlenstein@social.vivaldi.net]

@vosje62 It’s everyone’s problem if he sends a warship. @jasonb @markus_falk @randahl

[vosje62@mastodon.nl]

@heinlenstein @jasonb @markus_falk @randahl

Nothing moved so far.
We will see in 5 days, as that seems to be the time needed to get one of them operational.

[infosecstuc@infosec.exchange]

@randahl so the US has two hospital ships the USNS Mercy and the Comfort both with about 1000 Beds all told. This is 10 times the capacity of Greenland's own hospital facilities.

For a lot of maladies Greenland's people are sent to mainland Denmark far away from friends and relatives and referred to the Rigshospitalet.

So while, for US citizens picking up the bill, this might seem questionable, as a hearts and minds exercise it may not be that stupid.

I guess the real question is, what happens when the orange one gets bored or offended or starts a war with a country with some military capability. Will Denmark suddenly find itself having to ship 1K patients back to Europe?

[ilka4you@mastodon.social]

@randahl but since it is "free" it doesn't cost Felon 47 a penny, so why not help those, who absolutely don't need it?

[jaypeach53@calckeymusic.social]

@randahl@mastodon.social the American public, especially the troglodytes that voted for Mr Moron, is being taken for a ride. Where’s the money coming from? And how is the grifter making money off the scam?
