CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The purpose is not to help the Greenlanders, but to create a situation that, whatever Denmark does, Denmark looks bad. (I should have phrased my previous post rather that way).

Except, it doesn't in either case. It just makes Trump look delusional, like he woke up in the middle of the night from a dream, yelling: "Greenland! Iceland! The people are calling my name! Send a hospital ship, they need my help!" And an aide nearby just nodded and said they'd get right on that.

Only problem is that denmark doesn't look bad for refusing the ship.

Given that Greenlanders are included as part of Denmark's universal healthcare system, perhaps its they who should be sending a hospital ship to America - where it can provide much needed medical care for those uninsured 2nd class American citizens that President Trump and the Republicans have abandoned!

The Trump Administration is setting themselves up to be the victim in an international incident?, no!
They had so much money sloshing around after DOGE shut down USAid (and those sweet, sweet tariff bucks), that once they find a hospital ship that can make the perilous journey, that’ll be up there, staffed with the best CIA officials available

Yeah cause there's no way the CIA could get there in a plane and land at Greenland's US air base.

Not for us, not for the civilized people. But the Trump administration is playing for a different audience.

No, it is good if Trump extends a helping hand to those in need. It seems that this isn't the case here.

Darn right. Like the scene from Guardians of the Galaxy when Drax is told that the comment went over his head, and he responds, "nothing gets over my head, I am too fast."

The King of Denmark and his officials keep saying healthcare is free for Greenlanders, but that doesn’t mean it's quality healthcare.No, it is good if Trump extends a helping hand to those in need. It seems that this isn't the case here.

Did the king give an opinion? Do you contend that it isn't quality healthcare that is available now? The Greenland government doesn't see the need, why should I believe you over them? What is your explicit argument?

Yes. Didn't you read the article?
The argument was already laid out. Free healthcare doesn't automatically equate to it being quality healthcare.
