Denmark to send its 'entire artillery' to Ukraine, the country's prime minister says

Yes. Honestly... The plan is to oblige to the NATO 2% requirement, which means that we will need to invest in war production instead of just clinging to old stocks. So even as bad as it is to increase a budget for something that we don't need, it's still better for Denmark to restart the production and give away the old stock. Denmark has reopened an old ammunition factory (which had been an eyesore for 50 years) and also collaborating with Germany on the bigger calibers.

Basically, Denmark is investing domestically, in EU and in Ukraine, and it's all according to agreement with NATO. (Regardless of Trump's stupid speech the other day, this needs to be done.)

It's like donating old bread before it goes bad. Let's hope the Ukrainians can find a Russian head to use it at, because we don't need it now, but we're obliged to keep production up.

Russia

blitzing

Does not compute

Easy there you're about to be called Hamas

right to self determination

Some stateless nations in europe have something to say.

Don't you dare even look at the Øresund, we still have our sticks.

Eh.

Looking through Danish new sites (Dr.dk, Information, Politiken), there is not a single headline about this. I'm curious as to why, and what the angle will be, whenever we get any domestic news on it.

In principle, I think this is a good thing, and something we should have done a long time ago. However, our current PM (Mette Frederiksen) has a history of promising the moon and then never actually getting around to delivering on it, so I'm kind of half-way expecting this to mean "we'll establish a comittee that'll start an investigation into what we can send and when we can send it" and then it'll take them a year or more to figure out the logistics of it, at which point it might be too late.

I should be excited about this, but I am so jaded by our politicans complete lack of interest in anything else than playing the game and staying in power that I struggle to be.

I think it's a very laudable act (if action follows words).

I think in terms of the rest of Europe, and especially NATO countries in Europe, we should certainly be providing everything we can while still being careful to provide enough means for our own defence. This is especially true with the threat (however realistic) of another Trump presidency, which could leave us on our own in this regard.

Provided we have our own Europe-wide defence covered though, yes we should be giving all the aid we can to Ukraine.

Its tank:

Sell is the keyword there.

Israel bought weapons.

Ukraine CAN buy weapons

Biden cannot gift weapons without congress approval

selling arms versus giving them the arms, for starters.

I've been wondering about this as well. My guess is there's already standing legislation specific to Israel that enumerates such powers.
