Proud of my Danish heritage
Can't believe that is a real post. And I can't believe we are in a world that it isn't far fetched.
Danish for “phuck off asshole”
Same. He’s everything they despise.
Denmark boosts Greenland defence after Trump repeats desire for US control
Army Maj Steen Kjaergaard of the Danish Defence Academy suggests it may have been Trump's intention to pressure Denmark into such a move.
"It is likely to be sparked by the renewed Trump focus on the need for air and maritime control around Greenland and the internal developments in Greenland where some are voicing a will to look towards the US – a new international airport in Nuuk was just inaugurated," he told the BBC.
"I think Trump is smart… he gets Denmark to prioritise its Arctic military capabilities by raising this voice, without having to take over a very un-American welfare system," he added, referring to Greenland's heavy dependence on subsidies from Copenhagen.

Denmark boosts Greenland defence after Trump repeats desire for US control
The huge package is announced after the president-elect said US ownership of Greenland was a "necessity".

Lasting approximately six hours, the German ground campaign against Denmark was one of the shortest military operations of the Second World War.
From the article
The Danish government has announced a huge boost in defence spending for Greenland, hours after US President-elect Donald Trump repeated his desire to purchase the Arctic territory.
Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said the package was a "double digit billion amount" in krone, or at least $1.5bn (£1.2bn).
Yep. The government debated, voted and passed a billion dollar package in a few of hours.

Denmark resisted Nazi control during World War II through a nonviolent and violent resistance movement:
- Nonviolent resistance: From 1940–1943, the Danish resistance movement used nonviolent methods to resist the German occupation. These methods included an illegal press and sabotage operations against German property, railways, and companies that collaborated with the Germans.
- Violent resistance: After August 29, 1943, the resistance movement became more violent.
- Results: The Danish resistance movement achieved several goals, including:
- Protecting Danish Jews
- Maintaining the sovereignty of the Danish government
- Limiting the amount of resources Germany could take from Denmark
- Contributing to the World War II victory
- Protecting Danish Jews
And in 2024 the Musk/Trump soon to be Presidency is propping up and endorsing the 2024 Nazi party of Germany.
I look forward to our new Danish overlords.
Tiny nation on Germany's northern border. Yeah. Yet kept their sovereignty, kept their people safe, kept their natural resources, and hurt the Third Reich enough to aid in their defeat. Some "win". Just can easily out-smart MAGAts of European or American persuasion.
They will ultimately do whatever we tell them to do, MAGA Forever.
That's awesome! Trump should do this with every country. Then the US wouldn't have to spend so much money on defending other countries. They could defend themselves.
Perfect response.
Yup, I’m proud of my Danish heritage and you are proud of the Nazis
Not surprised
LOL. Their money is good. I still have a few Krone left from my trip in September.
They have literally piles of money building up from the sale of Ozempic.
I realize current events is not a strong suit for you.
Don’t forget about Legos
That's nothing but pocket change when compared to the crowd DJT runs with.
Dude couldn't even come up with enough money to pay for his appeal. Lol.
The larger picture here is that the status quo for the last 80 years in post war Europe has been one of nonstop US largesse providing a safety blanket for the continent that has allowed them to enjoy enormous growth and prosperity - and it’s almost a third rail issue when politicians even broach the subject.
I forget who said it but a noted observer recently said that it was wise to take Trump “seriously but not literally”. He was right.
Greenland isn’t for sale. I’m not worried.
The Danes are about as intimidating as the Canucks. Ran into a ton of them in St Croix years ago, their slice of the Caribbean is a terrible version of paradise. Great people, but they struck me as quite basic.
Do you know why the movie was named for only one day?
Because Denmark surrendered in 6 hours.
