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

@randahl Wonder if it has anything to do with this https://www.reuters.com/world/denmarks-joint-arctic-command-evacuates-us-submarine-crew-member-greenlandic-2026-02-21/

@randahl Will they have vaccines on board?

[rolfcronberg@mastodon.nu]

@randahl The first scan didn’t find any?

[oliver_schafeld@mastodon.online]

Maybe the Danish navy could return the favor by sending a ship to Louisiana?

Offer poor people in Florida Danish health care plans?

@randahl all at the same time Artic Command helo evacuated an american sailor from a US submarine to emergency treatment in Nuuk

@markus_falk @randahl with both ships seems to be in dry dock for maintenance, it backfires badly the moment they decide to interrupt that.

@randahl @rjohnston IMO a mix between being actually really stupid and sabre rattling. Nobody knows what's going on in the orange head.

I didn't really know much about this, for anyone else who wants to read up on this too:

Let’s see if he still recognises the zebra…

@randahl

I think there's nothing left to scan any more

[notsoloud@expressional.social]

@randahl
Maybe they can pick up a stash of vaccines to bring home?

(It is actually yet another fascist demonstration that "our stupidity is stronger than your smarts")

[waldschnecke@chaos.social]

@randahl I just realized that it's entirely possible that oragnie confused countries again. Could be any, Cuba, Venezuela or any other he's trying to dictate over.

[notsoloud@expressional.social]

@markus_falk
Well yeah, but try to fund a well sized government only by printing money. Hello inflation.

If you want more expeditionary hospital ships, one way or another you'll have to tax more.

@randahl

[dalfen@mstdn.social]

@randahl That's absolutely insane.

And this country ABSOLUTELY provides no healthcare for most of its population. What is the admin trying to do — persuade Greenlanders that it does?

[tanyakaroli@expressional.social]

@benroyce I immediately thought of this as well! He must have heard of this incident and couldn’t bear that Greenland appears the hero.

@randahl Or do you mean:
