She’s right. I would vote for her. And NATO/Europe needs to be prepared to act without the US
She’s good!
can you please be german chancelor too? thy
Meanwhile, Scholtz as Russia is killing refugees in Germany and trying to assassinate a German citizen CEO …
She has a very good view!!!! So True!!!!
Most people want to be nice, kind and civilized. Most.
But when the person that is sitting across from you does not share those values and is actively trying to undermine your position, when that person becomes an existential threat to your existence then there is only one recourse.
Meet the violence that is projected against you with so much overwhelming force that the threat to your existence is eliminated. You can not reason with a person that is working to kill you. Being nice doesn’t work. Being civilized doesn’t work. You can only eliminate the threat , and if you lose, if you cannot eliminate that threat then you will be under the yoke of your oppressor.
She’s entirely correct. The default and long-held position of the West has been appeasement, de-escalation, and outright kowtowing for far too long.
I think a part of this is also the fact that so many EU and NATO countries actually slacked far behind both their own and their expected contributions and allocations for military spending & production — something which wasn’t necessarily widely or publicly known about prior to the 2022 phase of the Ukraine-Russo war. Some nations quite simply don’t have much to contribute in the first place, but still, the U.S. and the U.K. could have and should’ve had far harsher responses to these “micro-aggressions” a.k.a. plain-as-day terrorism.
As a dane, you can stop saying she’s “good” etc. She’s anything but. One scandal after another in the last five years, and most Danes want her gone.
Right now her political career is sinking at home, and she is angling HARD for an international post to get some more for her retirement fund.
So she’s gambling hard on being seen as a “hardliner” in regards to Russia. Personally she doesn’t give a fuck.
Fuck her.
Wait, for years, they’ve told us there isn’t anything we can do, and we have to let everyone in.
Now it’s different because the same people come from a different direction?
“Hybrid warfare is a modern challenge.”
Too polite or too coward?
Close all of Russias embassy in Europe and send them Spies back to Russia.
Absolutely. Please tell it to our re*arded chancellor Olaf Scholz.
And way too polite towards China… is Europe scared of China?
Absolutely! And it’s perceived as weakness by pukin. Rightly so.
If only 80% of European leaders would be as smart as her and act on their beliefs. The war would be over within 4 weeks
I agree, because what she is saying is, unfortunately, true.
I would phrase it as reacting too civilized, something IVAN cannot do.
Then stand up and fight? America has given more to fight Russia than all of the EU combined and multiplied. All of free Europe spent 35 years with our planes hovering in the wings ready to dispense instant death to the USSR while Europe sipped it’s wine, took their vacations, and slept soundly without putting any effort into their own defence. Now these Danes are seeing that this isn’t a ‘WESTERN’ problem, this is a European problem, for European peoples. And when you start putting out that the ‘West’ needs to do more, we ALL know you’re saying the United States.
It has to be a woman who has the balls to say it out loud. Our leaders are weak!
Amen sister!
One hundred percent, we are way too nice and are too afraid of escalation.
She is so right. We are being attacked deliberately on all fronts. Attack is the best defense and we always seem to be a step behind. Those who know the ruZZians through and through also know the answer. We should listen to them more closely.
