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!!! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ IMAGINE EXISTING WHILST NOT AMERICA!!!! ๐๐๐๐"
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.
North Sea Empire and Kalmar Union kinda were, depend of your definition of "great power"
The Kalmar Union sort of was, even if it never did much other than massacre some Swedish nobles. The massacre was for stupid reasons rather than based ones, and it led to the disintegration of the union.
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 ๐คฃ
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.

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.
