      I’m not kidding we (Denmark) just ordered more f35s and are in the process of buying a couple of US electronic surveillance aircraft and patriot systems… Our intelligence services use Palantir for all our personal info btw

      Our politicians are still thinking that we can appease the US by funding the US military industrial complex.

        You are not kidding, looking at the latest press releases from the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), Denmark has been ramping up its arms purchases from the U.S.

        Just in December 2025, they submitted four separate requests, totaling $6.5 billion.

      To stop buying US weapons could be seen as aggressive and an escalation. It is better to buy even more US weapons so they lose more if trade between US and EU is interrupted. /s if it is not obvious

      That’s crazy talk! Instead, Denmark will send a formal letter and order a few more billions $ worth of equipment exclusively to US makers. That should teach them!
