The Swedish ship Vasa. She sank shortly after launch in 1628, but thanks to the conditions in the Baltic, which is tide free and has brackish water, her hull was almost perfectly preserved when raised in 1961. #SwedishNavy #Stockholm #Ageofsail

Colby's thrashing continues in full swing. This from a Danish MEP is precious, especially the ending. 😘🤣

European efficiency: Denmark's artillery factory also still hasn't produced any shells, but it has produced nothing for a lot less money.

Joyeux 14 Juillet! Bonne Fête Nationale 🇫🇷

The symbolic strategic awakening of Europe on this Bastille Day. The flags and soldiers of more than thirty European countries not least Ukraine 🇺🇦 but also our allies from Canada 🇨🇦 & Australia 🇦🇺. And one big flag was missing, that of the United States of America 🇺🇲.

That European defence fragmentation costs as much as €57bn annually (~France’s defence budget) illustrates the vacuity of % spending targets blind to capabilities, integration, value for money and industrial sovereignty www.reuters.com/business/aer...

Den traditionsrige militærparade i Paris bliver i år brugt til at signalere europæisk handlekraft i lyset af truslen fra Rusland og USA’s turbulente tilgang til NATO. Danske soldater deltager i optoget. 🎁 link nedenfor

Her er Statsministeriets tekst: stm.dk/statsministe...

Three old, well-worn russian propaganda tricks are gaining ground these days. 1 Threats of nuclear war if we help Ukraine win; 2 The danger of alleged out-of-control chaos in russia following its defeat; 3 A ceasefire agreement. The last narrative is the most dangerous as some are pushing for it.

Lindsey Graham was not a particularly strong supporter of Ukraine. He made all the right noises, but ultimately he mostly just contributed to keeping pro-Ukrainian Republicans quiet. He gave them an illusion to cling to, that any moment now Trump will finally get tough on Putin.

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man to understand. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-kn...

Apropos of absolutely nothing at all, that Mark Twain quote was actually from Clarence Darrow, and it's: "I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction."

Deutschland gibt Rekordsummen für Verteidigung aus – 108,2 Mrd. Euro im regulären Etat, plus Sondervermögen. Doch das System bleibt dysfunktional: „Wenn man die Strukturen nicht ändert, kommt nichts Besseres heraus.“ 🧵 web.de/magazine/pol...

Trump is incapable of understanding this.

While the P-8 has been sold to the 🇩🇰Danish public for its surveillance capability, it has something that is often forgotten: internal & external weapons hard points for a range of systems turning it into a platform for long range operations/fires in remote areas e.g. 🇬🇱Greenland

På det seneste har der været tale om, at nu pegede pilen fra NordStream sabotagen på Ukraine. Gerningspersonerne skulle være en håndfuld ukrainere på en sejlbåd. @anderspucknielsen.dk har begået en glimrende video om, hvorfor det slet ikke ser så ligefremt ud alligevel. youtu.be/Wf_1Y2UYPXQ

🇩🇰Denmark and 🇩🇪Germany has signed an agreement about training, maintenance and coordinated operations of the combined Danish-German Boeing P-8A Poseidon fleet which will total 10 planes (including initially two Danish planes) operating from Nordholz Naval Air Base in Germany.

Yep!

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

On Russia Many prominent Russian athletes are members or hold rank in military and security service sports clubs, such as CSKA (Central Sports Club of the Army) and Dynamo, which have actively supplied the Russian military with specialized equipment and drones during the conflict.

🇩🇰 Mette Frederiksen says Article 5 applies to Greenland: "We are ready to defend every inch of NATO, including our own territory. One of the reasons why we built NATO many years ago is that, if anything happens to one of us, then everybody should stand up for each other."

BREAKING: Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen again rejected Trump's demand for the US to control Greenland at NATO. She said Denmark is “ready to defend every inch of NATO including our own territory.”

🇩🇰 Mette Frederiksen replies to Trump: “Of course Greenland is not for sale. We have made that clear from the start. The Greenlanders do not want to be part of the USA. They have also made that clear.” Frederiksen says expects all NATO allies to respect Denmark's sovereignty.

Så er det også slut med at se OL. Godt vi stadig har Danmarksserien.

As per today's announcement from the 🇩🇰Ministry of Defence, Denmark will acquire initially two Boing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft for operations the Arctic and North Atlantic area. Cooperation with e.g. P-8 operators like Norway, UK and/or Germany is very likely.

🇺🇦Ukrainian local defence plays a significant role in anti-drone defence. During the #Coldwar 🇩🇰Denmark had 40mm Bofors manned by the Home Guard (here Naval Home Guard). Let’s seek inspiration in the past and present and set up local air defence again (HJV history centre FB)

For 250yrs America‘s greatest power has been reinvention. Reinvention of power & who wields it. Of identities & industries, statecraft & storytelling, machines & music, of the very limits of human possibility. But its ceaseless reinvention isn’t manifestly destined to result in a more perfect union.

“NATO’s former No. 2 says the alliance must rebuild without America. Starting now” I could not agree more For Europe’s future, but also for US tax payers who shouldn’t pay for Europe’s defence Stop the Rutte speak & focus on a fast transition where enablers are replaced ASAP

Amazing ancient Lurs from Bronze Age Denmark. Thirty-nine of these bronze horns have been found in Danish peat bogs, likely deposited as ritual offerings some 3,000 years ago! Fun fact: Lurs are the inspiration behind the name and logo of Denmark’s Lurpak® butter! 🧈 🎺 🇩🇰 #FindsFriday #Archaeology

I have been making a similar point for some years: if Putin says Russia is at war with NATO, it doesn't matter if NATO says it isn't at war with Russia: they are at war. How you fight the war is a different matter, but if you keep pretending you're at peace, you're in trouble.
