Want to know what's really sad about the news that Trump suggested a hospital ship be sent?

this was an opportunity to learn the history of the relationship of the Inuit people of the area with Denmark

Instead, everyone rushes to the ramparts to fight the battle. Trump-can't-do-wrong crowd just defends a bad idea. Anti-maga just wants this opportunity to bash Trump, the usual-suspects-media leaving out the full story. Good journalism would have given plenty but instead mostly just trolled along with the worst.

The truth is Denmark and the Greenland Inuit have a disturbing history. The worst is the Forced Sterilization program Denmark imposed, their idea of birth control…. up until the 1990s!! Along with this, they did the same Child Separations that Canada has been profusely apologizing for, without apology themselves until 2020. As for current health care, Inuit entitled to as Denmark citizens, the googlebot says this:
“In 2026,
Greenland's healthcare system—serving a predominantly Inuit (Indigenous) population—remains significantly underserved compared to mainland Denmark despite recent multi-million dollar investment pledges. While residents have access to free, universal care, they face a 10-year lower life expectancy and a system backlog estimated at 1 billion Danish kroner ($158 million) “
Emphasis mine. There is plenty more to learn if you want to go look for it


What's going on with his "Bored With Peace" crap doesn't give me much confidence in Trump.

Also Trump can't convince the left of anything if he himself doesn't lead with how he's going to help Inuit in the deal. What did we hear from his own mouth from the beginning. "We have to have Greenland." "We're not ruling out force." "They will sell it to uis" Or else, often said or implied.

Why would we want to take over a country in order to help a bunch of alcoholic eskimos?

Canada is closer were that in fact our aim.

BREAKING: In response to the U.S. sending a “much-needed” hospital ship to Greenland (according to Trump), Denmark has reportedly announced it will dispatch a specialized vessel to the United States — staffed entirely by psychiatrists.
