We both fought fascism in World War 2, we both have a constitution which defines a liberal democracy, and in both countries the greatest threat to that liberal democracy is Donald Trump.

️Not to mention Denmark responded to NATO’s Article 5 after the US was attacked on 9/11 and sent troops to Afghanistan.

please don't remind the USA for how long Denmark fought Germany in WW2, or it will reinforce their resolution. -

️@randahl Living in the US for a few years taught me that Denmark and the US entertain vastly different worldviews.

️@randahl 95% of American people have no issues with either Denmark or Greenland.
This is strictly another case of the Trump administration being alone in promoting this idea. It's bullying:
a.) Goading: It makes US domestic opposition feel like they have no influence over public policy and are powerless.
b.) Robbery: It involves theft of minerals (latest robber-baron pet hobby) and brazen violation of sovereignty
c.) Terrorism: It introduces the threat of withdrawing the USA from NATO.

️@randahl In Denmark there is likely not a significant percentage of the population that believes chocolate milk comes from brown cows. In the US, on the other hand...

@randahl @elCelio tbf i think most Danes are ashamed of that particular part of ww2, the shortness of the fight. But when that's said, please consider: we managed to save 95% of the Danish Jews from the Holocaust, and as Randahl stated: just because our politicians waved the white flag very quickly did not mean the Nazis did not have a lot of problems with the populace sabotaging them as often as they could manage.

️@randahl Most Americans would rather forget that the Nazis held a huge rally in NY Madison Square Garden in 1939, and that there were several Nazi-oriented summer youth camps in Wisconsin - actually, across several states! - before we joined WW2.

️@randahl
I abhor what my country has become. I also believe that many USAn veterans would volunteer to fight for Denmark, if it came to that, because I am not alone in my abhorrence.

️@randahl The world has changed since the twentieth century. Europe now faces a new geopolitical reality.
Where the transatlantic bond was once the cornerstone of security and stability, we now see the United States itself struggling with internal polarisation and unpredictable foreign policy.
Europe, with over 450 million inhabitants and one of the largest economies in the world, is a global player and must now shape its future as an independent global force.
