Hvordan skal vi nogensinde kunne tage de her kraftidioter seriøst igen?

The same people who spent the last 4 years arguing that Russian expansionism is not a problem, and that Ukraine being invaded was the fault of the West, are now arguing the US must take Greenland by force to stop… Russian expansionism.

It is astonishing how dumb their supporters are.

I like my beer dark. 😋

Vurderingen i analysen fra artiklen tror jeg ikke på.
Men så længe vi ikke kan fastholde personel så forbliver forsvarets skoler "pølsefabrikker". 🫡

2/2

Værnepligten er og har altid været en stor kilde til rekruttering.

"- Det vurderes, at en længere værnepligtstjeneste - alt andet lige - vil kunne resultere i lavere frivillighedsgrad samt forringet rekrutteringsevne til videre uddannelser og jobs i Forsvaret, fremgår det af analysen."

1/

Igen bliver der fokuseret på rekruttering og ikke på fastholdelse og kompetence udvikling af dem der allerede er ansat.
Så ender det med at de nye værnepligtige "bare" skal fylde huller i de måneder de har fået ekstra ift. den gamle værnepligt..... 🫡

Small State Power: Be Like Denmark In this week’s Europe Dispatch, Minna Ålander writes about how Denmark is showing that even small states can punch far above their weight and lead by example.

Vær som Danmark. Pæne ord fra @alanderminna.bsky.social - og jeg har en fornemmelse af, at ros fra en finne er på niveau med ros fra en vendelbo. Det er en 100 års-begivenhed. #EUDefence

For godt et år siden lavede @anderspucknielsen.dk en episode af Krigskunst Podcast om Søværnets behov. Nu ligger den længe ventede flådeplan klar, så tiden er kommet til en opfølgning. Er det de rigtige kapaciteter, man indkøber? Er tyngden lagt rigtigt? Vi lader igen Carsten Fjord-Larsen svare.

God weekend. 🤟🏻⚓

Trump just put tariffs on a bunch of penguins in the middle of nowhere...

US have had 17 military facilities in Greenland - now only one.
US had 10.000 men in Greenland - now only 200.
There is every possibility to upgrade in accordance with the agreement from 1951 - resigned in 2012 by Colin Powell. Don't shout - better talk like friends.

Putin says US push for Greenland rooted in history, vows to uphold Russian interest in the Arctic Russia’s President Vladimir Putin says that President Donald Trump’s push for control over Greenland wasn’t surprising given longtime U.S. interest in the mineral-rich territory.

Putin would love to see the US use military force to seize Greenland.This enormous mistake would legitimize Russia's invasion of Ukraine. We should work with Denmark and Greenland to build unshakable economic and security ties. But using force is completely wrong. apnews.com/article/russ...

Søværnets skibe og en dansk helikopter fulgte russisk destroyer To af Søværnets skibe samt en af Flyvevåbnets Fennec-helikopter fulgte i sidste uge den russiske destroyer Severomorsk under dens sejlads i dansk nærområde. Det er normal procedure, at Forsvaret følge...

I slutningen af sidste uge fulgte bl.a. to af Søværnets skibe en russisk destroyer tæt, da den sejlede gennem dansk farvand. Det sker samtidig med, at NATO med aktiviteten Baltic Sentry har skruet op for overvågningen af Østersøen. Læs mere: www.forsvaret.dk/da/nyheder/2... #dkforsvar #BalticSentry

1/ 🧵 Et skoleeksempel på en spareøvelse, der nu kommer tilbage for at bide Danmark i haserne – på det værst tænkelige tidspunkt. Lad os tale om Grønnedal, Grønland og et regnestykke, der aldrig gik op.

Ah, super. Hvis vi bare fortæller til svendene, at en økonomiprofessor har regnet lidt på det, og at de faktisk får for meget, går deres frustrationer utvivlsomt i sig selv.

Hvad skulle Battle of Britain egentlig til for? Der havde slet ikke været nogen ‘battle’, hvis briterne bare havde overgivet sig. Tænk på alle de liv, det ville have reddet! Skammeligt, at fredselskende Tyskland blev bragt i den ubehagelige position af en obsternasig Churchill. #magalogik

I Rusland hverver man over 30.000 soldater om måneden.

I Danmark har vi indtil videre brugt over 700 dage på at producere 0 patroner og 0 granater.

Det er rigtig godt, at regeringen nu vil afsætte endnu flere penge til oprustning.

Text from Rob Kunzig on Facebook: Seems to be a lot of talk about our NATO Allies’ contribution to the Global War on Terror. As in: “Hey, Europe, what have you done for us lately?” Well, nobody’s asking me, but I have shit to say, so here we go again. In 2018, I was interviewing a Danish infantry sergeant named Kim. He’d shouldered me and my pesky camera aside during live-fire drills a few hours earlier, so this sit-down was a little awkward. Big guy. Built like a fridge. Stared at me with cool, even eyes as I bounced questions off him like pebbles. But when I asked him about his service in Afghanistan, something gave way. His posture changed. He started talking about a machine gunner he’d lost to an IED while clearing a compound. He paused. He fought back tears. His words came out as croaks but he managed to complete the sentence.

Kim serves a nation of roughly 6 million people. When, in the wake of 9/11, the United States requested that NATO rally around it and go to war, Denmark heeded the call. Between 2002 and 2018, 48 Danes died in Afghanistan. If you just thought “Only 48?”, you should know that, during the heaviest fighting in Helmand Province, the Danes were absorbing more casualties per capita than any other NATO nation. The reciprocal question from a Dane might be: “What were we doing there in the first place?” Only it wouldn’t be a question, of course. Denmark understood its responsibilities as a NATO ally. When you’re a small country without much of a military tradition, the loss of just a handful feels devastating. They weren’t the only ones who lost. The United Kingdom, our most stalwart allies, lost more than 600 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Eighty-eight French soldiers died in Afghanistan. Again, if you’re saying “Only eight-eight?”, you need to sit down and have a good think. What if one of those eighty-eight were yours? How would you feel when their tricolor-draped casket came home? How would you feel today, when the United States seems poised to walk away from the alliance that your child died to protect? What has Europe done for us, lately? That’s a question answered in blood. (Photo: Danish soldier from Vidar Company during a live-fire exercise in Latvia, 2018)

"What has Europe done for us, lately? That’s a question answered in blood."

OLFI - Der er ingen undskyldning længere – vi har brug for handling nu! Blot halvanden måned efter, at Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste (FE) udgav den omfattende trusselsvurdering ”UDSYN 2024”, har tjenesten fundet anledning til

"Det kræver, at befolkningen nu får indsigt i de overvejelser, der gøres om det nye forsvar, og at der sættes politisk handling bag ordene. Det handler om vores fælles sikkerhed, og som det fremgår af FE’s opdaterede trusselsvurdering, er tiden ikke på vores side."

Uegnet til ubådsjagt i Nordatlanten: Danmark lever ikke op til centralt krav fra Nato De danske antiubådsfregatter er skrøbelige i Nordatlanten og mangler vigtigt system, mener flere topofficerer.

Today, we bring yet another chapter in the saga of Denmark’s Arctic shortcomings.

The Danish frigates, set to play a key role in the new Arctic package, are unfit to operate in the region’s harsh weather. 🚢❄️ #dkpol #defense

British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read - London Daily “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

I posted the text from this on Twitter, and it has been incredibly well received. I don’t have the time right now to post the long thread required again, but here’s a link. It’s a brilliant piece, and really hits the nail on the proverbial head.
