  1. It not help anything. See how useless weapons are in Ukraine. When will war happy MP Mette F invest in peace, I bet she have not used 1% on peace of what she have used on military and her Russia Phobia and love for Mr Greenshirt… There run a Non Democratic state.

  2. As a Canadian I stand with Denmark ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ and the European Union ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ and Ukraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Mexico ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ and Panama ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฆ and Greenland ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Trump will sit in the corner with his dunce hat on

  3. Denmark is a parasite country in nato that needs to double its defence expenditure to catch up with the years of underspending.

    It pays less than 2%.

    Ireland is the worst at 0.2% on defence.

    Make these parasite countires pay 3% as a minimum and to sop relying on countries like the UK or France to do all the spending.

  4. As an American I'm happy to hear this the rest of Europe should do the same. This was trumps plan all along…

  5. USA is isolating itself we're strong enough to take care of our continent, Canada is already on our side

  6. and they dont have enough money to hire any new soldiers, not a single DKK is going to new salaries of new soldiers, nearly hafe of all who wants to continue as a professionel soldier after their draft time cant be hired, because they dont have money for it …its a joke for all us Danes

  7. The minister of Crises. Mette Frederiksen is badest representative (pm) in danish history ever. She had been talking like this since she was elected for the first time. Crises , crises everything is a crises. She has so many illigal cases that she's hiding from, avoiding the critical press. She is going for the EU top, to rule EU like trump! Don't trust her.

  8. Where is Europe going to get its money, we are kicking you out of Africa. For years you have funded you economies literally for free using African resources, Here you are pointing a figure at USA with 'righteous ' indignation

  9. America here I want our European allies to know the time has come that the European NATO members can defend Europe Russia is no longer a threat the Ukraine war proves that America should exit NATO๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  10. That's cool, but many of these European countries are massively behind on their defense budgets. Bush, Obama and Trump told them for years they need to increase

    Military training and equipment isn't something that can be done over night it takes years for it to come together.

    Germany is 10 years behind where it should be.

  11. stop PM/MF the smug Gucci-queen! She is nothing to Denmark but carries herself around the world like another walking trophy. Panicking, she sees that everything she has fought for, namely an international top job, is disappearing into the blue.

  12. The country which didn't even last 6 hours have to chances to counter against usa. Denmark is a mouse compared to mighty usa.

  13. You may hate Trump all you like. But he's FINALLY made you do what you should have been doing for decades. Spend REAL money on your own defense instead of healthcare nonsense and other hand outs. It's about past damned time you people woke up and smelled the Russians at your door.

  14. Ok so Europe has been sitting on the fence while power nations going for it but i think Europe has good captial to invest and spend money if needed. And fast.

  15. Europe must stop buying weapons from America, the world needs america on its knees, especially in the next 4 years,,,๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ
