I hope they mean the Caesars (again), not the self-propelled mortars they have left…
To everyone else, be like Denmark 🇩🇰
Denmark did send all its Ceasar Artillery to Ukraine. This was announced in January 2023.
The more important part of the speech is this:
“Ukraine is asking us for ammunition and artillery now. We, Denmark, have decided to transfer all our artillery to Ukraine. So, sorry, friends, there is military equipment in Europe, it is not only a matter of production. We have weapons, ammunition, air defense systems, which we do not use yet. They must be handed over to Ukraine,”
Proud of the Danes. While the US Republicans become traitors to every freedom fighter, some still lean in to battle against oppression.
Denmark showing the example. Now we all need to do the same.
Giving all your ammo and relying on NATO to protect you is a true trust in shared security. Everyone can’t do that.
This is exactly the right thing to do. Russia can’t fight a war with the rest of Europe as long as it’s bogged down in Ukraine. European countries that don’t have a direct land border with Russia should send their full shell stockpile. This buys us time to ramp up our domestic production of shells ready for a future conflict. It’s a win/win.
Together by the power of Denmark’s brave donation and Czechia’s newfound shells…
Hopefully Ukraine is better able to hold the front in the next battle. It really hurt my soul in watching some of the Avdiivka maps and analysis toward the end of that fight. Ukraine had wanted to try a powerful flanking maneuver at one point toward the northern area after some units arrived, but even though they would have been willing to take the manpower losses, they just simply didn’t have the shells for an offensive tactical maneuver against that many russians. Nor enough artillery shells to keep the 40,000 reserve troops Putin had moved up at bay.
People don’t realize that Ukraine is now in a truly desperate fight at industrial scales. Major wars are not counter-terror operations where you use a few fancy weapons a day and bob’s your uncle. Everything is computed in thousands and tens of thousands.
Ukraine must be given truly industrial warfighting power. We need politicians to be bold.
Makes perfect sense. Send them now and they will be used to fight the Russians in Ukraine. Withhold them and they will be used to defend against the Russians in Denmark. If they are going to be used against Russia anyway, might as well be now. They will weaken Russia to the same degree as if Denmark had retained them and Russia invades Denmark.
There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction.
The Russianist/Putinist need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Putinist regime and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.
