  • Denmark, probably, just learning how gangsterism works (didn’t listen to the Global South at all).

      Denmark, like much of Europe, helped further US interests and imperialism, also in Iraq.

      Imperialism doesn’t require annexation.

        I get it, and none of that was ok, but threatening to annex another country is still not ok

          Eating people’s faces isn’t okay in general, but the point is that Denmark went along with that kind of shit…

          This is actually a leopard eating the face of someone who joined the leopards eating people’s faces campaign…

    I read recently they lost more soliders per capita than the USA did. It’s really incredible how the Americans are simply threatening one of their allies. But yeah I guess this goes with the imperialism ends up coming home. In the same vein of seeing the police become more like the military, as if they were on enemy land.

    No no, Danmark has allied with the strongest bully since WWII. And normally it means they get to keep their lunch money. They’ve known all along. It just sucks to find out you have an oil rich colony the bully wants.

      Well said that’s exactly what I was trying to say.
