Let me rephrase that: The US, which does not offer free healthcare to its own people, wants it's own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare.
Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.
@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?

@mc the funny thing is, he cannot get that ship into Nuuk harbor without permission.

@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?
@InfosecStuC this logic is puzzling. 1 USamerican got sick on a USamerican boat while being in the waters of Greenland. He needed evacuation to be treated. This seems to jolt the as you say "hearts & minds" action to send the health rescue, Greenland does not need. 1 Soldier = 1 totally superfluous "rescue health boat". This is not even "using a sledgehammer to crack a nut" because there is no nut - just the sledgehammer wildly thrown out the window. @randahl

here's another absurd story:
"Denmark's Joint Arctic Command said on Saturday it had evacuated a crew member who required urgent medical treatment from a U.S. submarine in Greenlandic waters, seven nautical miles outside of Greenland's capital Nuuk."
"WE ARE GOING TO INVADE! WE ARE THE TERROR!"
"ooh very scary! i'm proud of you, nice performance. but just pipe down now, it seems you need some help. let me get you a nice ride and a blanket"

@mc pretty great stuff! I loved those as a kid as well.

@randahl https://gcaptain.com/trump-announces-greenland-hospital-ship-mission-as-mercy-and-comfort-sit-in-alabama-shipyard/ Both of the Navy's hospital ships are in dry dock and will be for at least the next several months. He didn't even bother to check if our hospital ships were available to deploy before lying.

@randahl
Though you are absolutely right pointing out the absurdity. There is no such thing as free healthcare. Taxpayers fund it and mostly pay a lot more to cover non-taxpayers then they would just paying their own bills. I spend thousands of euros a year on this so called 'free' healthcare. -

@randahl Maybe you should think about the strategy behind this. It's obvious there is more to this. Maybe he's preparing for US soldiers being wounded. Or somebody b ing hurt. Maybe the hospital is a rude and will be filled with soldiers. Think a few steps ahead

@Ilka4You my point: it depends how long the hospital ship is stationed there, lets say 6 months, that might be 700 referrals that would otherwise go to Denmark that could be taken care of nearer home.
Of course the situation is a little more complicated than that, as to fly from one area to another in Greenland you may need to take flights via Denmark anyway - only a third of the population lives in Nuuk.
I agree, it's total Bullshit, the question for me is, does it bring Trump, arch Populist that he is, nearer to his goal of persuading Greenland's citizens that joining the US is a good idea?
Not to forget, that It also puts the DK or Greenlandic governments in the awkward position of refusing "help."
Currently the Mercy's is showing as in Mobile. The Comfort's transponder has been silent for 17 Days - so it may be underway with one of the task forces.
IDK It could all just be Trump living rent free in our heads again by flooding the zone. Probably this.

@randahl I just read the two hospital boats we have are in dry dock for repairs and that there was a US sub off the coast of Greenland that had a medical emergency for a sailor that the Danish navy rescued and took to a hospital. It seems Trump is confused by this.

working with the notorious white supremacist & pro-genocide/anti-masker Jeff Landry, he is not sending a "hospital boat" to any f'n body, that's a smokescreen for something else
we are literally talking about the same Jeff Landry who, when it was revealed early in the pandemic around June 2020 that POC were dying at 3x the rate of white people, he sued the state of Louisiana to end the mask mandate
whatever he's sending, it will NOT be healthy for indigenous populations

@peachfront @randahl theyre trying to cover up the fact that a very sick American sailor on a submarine in Greenland's water had to be evacuated to #Greenland to be taken care of. 🤫

Donald Trump ignores the vastly destructive problems he creates. As a fantasist, he prefers to invent problems that don't exist, so he can confidently and easily fix them.
So it is with saying he will send a hospital ship to Greenland, to care for the sick, something Greenland's universal healthcare system already does.
Meanwhile, Trump deprives his own people of health care and insurance, and destroys their public health infrastructure. The man is an obscenity.
@huntingdon He's not the problem. He's only the most glaring symptom of a much older, deeper, and wider problem. The president has no power to deprive his own people of heathcare and insurance. That's under the control of Congress; THEY are the ones doing the depriving. They did before he came along, even before he was born. Congress also has the last word on public health infrastructure.
