    Denmark has ordered 37 F-35 Lightning II fighters from USA and the only ones that are allowed to service the planes are Lockheed Martin employees. If shit hit the fan that servicing stops real quick. Reeeally clever move. Should’ve bought Gripen from Sweden instead…

      I don’t think Denmark would care who is “allowed” to service the planes in case of a war.

      Of course they wouldn’t have as much technical knowledge or tools

        Aye on more than one front. Chat control is also something that “socialdemokratiet” is pushing hard for.
        Tbh, not a lot could’ve predicted the government that we have today, because a government “across the middle” hasn’t existed since 1978 which was a total failure, but today we have “Venstre” (means “left”, but they’re actually right on the political scale), the social democrats and a center populist part called “the moderates”.
        In many ways it’s mirroring UK what with labour becoming so much more right wing than previous versions.

          That’s just how US politically colonize other nations and turn them into right wing vassal states. I believe Nyrup were the first of a prepared US manipulation of Danish politics. If anyone wants to know more about how US takes over nations politically, I’ll recommend Brian Berletic on YT, or a search for ‘colonization of the mind’ as a starter. You can also read the site ‘homosociologicus’ by the Danish sociologist Lars Jørgensen. Though there are thousands and thousands of good sources to choose from. All pointing to US Oligarchs pulling a fast one on the people of their conquered vassal states (G7, Nato members etc). There’s a lot to take in that doesn’t exist in the US/liberal echo chamber, so strap in…

            This is certainly interesting because Poul Nyrup Rasmussen didn’t seem like that much of a neoliberal at the time, he even condemned right leaning parties like “Dansk Folkeparti” (Danish folk-party aka Danish nationalists (I suppose)) back in 1999 with the words “living room ‘clean’, that, you’ll never become”. But 15 years later, Socialdemokratiet became pretty much the party they despised.
            And while I’m anything but a Danish nationalist, it is concerning that the country I live in and grew up in has only become more of a US lap dog over time. You’d think EU membership changed things, but no, Denmark is still a US bitch.

    Why would they trust the now fascist states? Might as well trust North Korea at that point.
