So, what, there are going to be twelve Danes in arms instead of 6?
Why is there international reporting about these weird, quaint little quasi-countries? My high school class was bigger than Denmark. Why does a national border catapult you out of the local interest section?
Cringe American comment
This is how they actually think about the world.
When Europeans first arrived in China people refused to believe that all these tiny little European countries existed. Makes no sense for some peninsula smaller than 1/3rd of Shandong to be its own country.
We had Danish exchange student visit once and they literally talked about crossing the border to buy groceries.
The Kingdom of Denmark is the 12th-biggest country in the world.
European Denmark has a little more than half the population of LA county. I’m not shitting on your culture or anything I think you and all the other nordic countries should re-unify. RETVRN to tradition, invade Norway.
; )
on the contrary, i think we should build a catapult with which to launch denmark over some national borders. be pretty funny to fling denmark into slovakia i think
did denmark drown your cat or something?
No, Danes are phobic about water after the incident where the moose swam over from Norway a few years ago.
I cnut imagine how that would turn out.
Your highschool class was the size of Wisconsin?
I’m not American and know about Idaho because they have potatoes and sketchy apps that cause Mayor Pete to win primary/caucuses, and they’re 1/3 the size of Denmark.
It’s not like this is a completely town-like country, like Andorra or San Marino. Being the setting of Hamlet and having Lego count for something.
Yeah, I’m just being a shit. We should make Denmark and Wisconsin fight, though. Put them both in a jar and shake it to find out who the true heirs of the Vikings are.
Re: Idaho - Despite having a much smaller population, Idaho has like six times the land area of Denmark. It is very much a “shithead ignorant american” thing, but the scale of many other countries compared to the USA is often so skewed it makes comparisons weird. I’ve lived in metropolitan areas with populations several times that of Denmark. I’ve lived in states that are about a quarter of the size of the EU, but with less than 1% of the population. America is a whole ass trip.

Besides Alaska there aren’t multiple states that would fit that description tho. Texas is about one-sixth of the size of the EU but has a huge population, Montana’s the 4th biggest state (after AK/TX/CA) but around one-twelfth the EU’s size
You’re probably being hyperbolic or smth this is just me being pedantic lmao I have OCD
Ayo someone namedropped my state
Being the setting of Hamlet and having Lego count for something.
Not really
Being the setting of Hamlet
Lmao this is the same mindset of people from small towns where a movie was once filmed
Lol, you completely destroyed my point.
If anything those small-towns have a better mindset because at least the director actually stepped foot in their towns, Shakespeare didn’t go anywhere.
Wisconsin have high quantities of beer and cheese (not necessarily quality), and redlettermedia. Idk how you can really quantify places you’ve never been to other than by your cultural/food export.
I will go to the small town, I will feign being impressed when the local greasy spoon has a picture of Sylvester Stallone’s second cousin eating while shooting a movie there.
ahahaahahaha the fucking danes have an active conscription programme? the fuck they need that for lmao
møøse
And squirrel.
And swedes
in practice a good majority of people support it and basically see it as “community service”, with it being more relaxed than US service and most people doing jack shit for several months (it’s also not really mandatory since you can get out with conscientious objection and a number of other things)
a lot of european countries (pretty much all the north) have it, mainly from russia fearmongering and “pulling their weight in NATO” to make up for not giving as much money to it as america would like (i.e. denmark gives the US intelligence, supports them in missions, and lets them use greenland for military bases)
short answer: being good little imperialist minions for the empire. it’s random selection so around 10% of danes are picked
OMG IT’S FINALLY A DIFFERENT MAP

I would be proud to be conscripted by Cuba.
Jesus this thread is ruined by Americans…
This is the core of why I hate Americans. Just the mention of another country’s name and they start shouting at the top of their voices, “HHAHAHHA OMG YOU GUYZZ ANOTHER COUNTRY!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 IMAGINE EXISTING WHILST NOT AMERICA!!! 😂😂😂😂”
Comment thread is complete with “hey this is like an obscure American pop culture thing!!!11!!!” , plus excruciatingly detailed discussion of irrelevant American geography.
Americans are scum. Imagine not being able to hear the mention of any other country without feeling the need to howl your disrespect. I have beaten people up irl for this shit.
Nah, it’s because our armed forces are a joke and have been since like 1870. Denmark has never been a great power and our elites seem satisfied with just being leeches on the Americans. The current government’s obsession with “strengthening the army” is just a way to ensure that the SocDems don’t get wallopped because everything has gotten worse and Mette Frederiksen is a lunatic who’s eyeing a job at NATO. Fortunately for us, she doesn’t seem to be itching for another war the way Anders Fogh Rasmussen did, but she is still hellbent on proving her dedication to the Neoliberal circus.
Hahahaha! Your non-American post reminds me of this one time when I was in Denmark, New York for the 4th of July. Haha! Imagine being a country named after a random place in New York 🤣
I have beaten people up irl for this shit.
Cringe.
theese thoughtless americans don’t appreciate the impact of the 1 (one) division the danes are actually able to field
Instead of unlearning chauvinism, most ameriKKKans just learn when people will think its funny for them to be chauvinist instead.
[#NOTALLAMERICANS]
If you can name 100 different countries in the world, you’re practically halfway to being a dual citizen.
What if I can’t name 100 different countries but I’m already a dual citizen?
Anyway, I’m just joking. I think most American are scum myself. Haha
Either I shit on Denmark for being 1/3rd the size of Shandong or Europeans start using Shandong being 3x the size of Denmark as a reason for drawing their shitty Balkanization maps. Sorry buddy you guys started this one. It really is none of my business but if I don’t point out the absurdity of Denmark and Norway being seperate nations then I’ll have to constantly be on the rhetorical defense.

We should edit it to say “sent by the Danes” instead so @[email protected] feels properly included.
They say the next ones will be sent by a Danskvinne!
Really makes you feel like you’re a part of hygge.
New taste, same classic irrelevant vassal state
“irrelevant” to what/whom?
yes
but who will stay home and maintain the household legos?
Poorly paid migrant workers, of course.
Denmark does seem to be flexing itself militarily more than it ever has in recent history.
someone tell Taylor Dane!
