    Ever since the coup before the start of the war in Ukraine, European leaders should have understood that America doesn’t care where the battlefield is as long as there is one, and Europe is just as valid as Iraq and Somalia. 🤷

    I thin the wider European populations are already in no doubt. Politics can be very slow.

      Not just are politics slow, but it’s difficult getting governments aligned enough to:

      1. see the danger (some right wing governments may be more reluctant)
      2. agree that publicly acknowledging the danger is the best way to go
      3. actually do the thing

    Total power move doing it after the social media accounts thing, and not after the USA threatened war with them.

    Canada and Denmark have been ruthlessly fighting over a piece of land for decades with whiskey and good cheer! The world could learn from this.

      Denmark is also the leader of the EU movement to break encryption, mass surveil all EU citizens (to make sure nobody pushes back against the corporate bank ownership , but "for the children’s of course), then because they broke encryption, ultimately give access to everyone’s mass surveillance data to foreign nations and bad actors.

    They would be wise to caveat the security risk being only when Republicans are in power as it currently stands.

    This is much of Putin’s plan to fracture long held western alliances. He sees these headlines and sees his return on investment.

      It’s not Denmark’s burden to keep track of whether or not America is on or off it’s meds.

        Never said it was. I said it would be wise for them to do so and ultimately in their own interest to do so, though.

      BoTh PaRtIeS are always in power; one could not exist without the other, a massive good cop/bad cop routine. They don’t hide it; no conspiring is necessary.

      If you sit at a table with Nazis, you are a Nazi, and so on.
