In case you were wondering - yeah - we're the assholes.
Honorable people step up. Allies come through on their commitments. They help when it's needed, even if you've treated them like shit.
And this is not an exercise in shaming Americans. It's Danes doing what they know is right.
If you feel shamed when someone lends you a needed hand, you'd best be getting your own bad self to a nunnery, Ophelia.
Denmark evacuates US submarine crew member off coast of Greenland
It came as Trump announced plans to deploy a hospital ship to the island
Denmark's military has conducted an urgent medical evacuation of a United States submarine crew member off the coast of Greenland.
The operation, confirmed by the Danish Joint Arctic Command on its Facebook page, took place on Saturday about seven nautical miles (13 kilometres) from Nuuk, the capital of the vast, ice-covered island.
A Danish Seahawk helicopter, deployed from an inspection ship, retrieved the individual.
The crew member was subsequently transferred to a hospital in Nuuk for urgent medical treatment.
Also late on Saturday, President Donald Trump announced plans to deploy a hospital ship to Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, alleging that many people there are sick and not receiving care.



Trump said the USNS Mercy was “On the way to Greenland” to provide medical care for the people of Greenland. Two problems with that plan:
- Greenland has fully paid healthcare - same as most developed countries - and they don't need our help with it.
- USNS Mercy is not ”on the way to Greenland” She's in dry dock in Mobile, Alabama for a little refitting.
The earliest Mercy could sail is late summer or fall, and of course, Trump will have forgotten all about it by then.
Because Trump lies - all the time - about everything.
