Summary

A YouGov poll found that 46% of Danes view the US as a major threat, surpassing concerns about North Korea and Iran but trailing Russia (86%).

Additionally, 78% oppose selling Greenland to the US, though 72% believe Greenland should decide its own fate.

The poll follows heightened tensions over Trump’s repeated claims that acquiring Greenland is an “absolute necessity” for US economic security.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has sought European unity in response, warning of shifting relations with the US.

      It’ll be nice to have the option to settle or visit there without having to go through customs.

              I traveled to Europe for the first time only a few years ago, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to enter (as an American). The customs officer at Frankfurt didn’t utter a single word to me, just checked my passport and waved me through. Guess I’m too used to American government processes and institutions where efficiency and convenience are low priority for the end user.

      I live in Denmark, and was at a farm store, where the attendant said that musk did not do a nazi salute. I then jumped in and said “well, let’s see your do that”, which she did, and none of the others reacted to a girl in her late teens doing a nazi salute. You have no idea how many supports AfD and Trump has in Denmark…

      Where i work, there’s about 120 employees. 5 of them loves Trump, and one even proudly wears a MAGA hat. It’s a fucking shit show in the country side.

        Do the schools teach history well in Denmark? Part of the problem in the USA is that people simply don’t know the history of Nazism and the Holocaust.

          I’m Norwegian, so the educational system is basically the same. Though, I’m not sure about today, but growing up in the 90’s, we learned a lot about WW2, including pictures of when our elementary school was overtaken by the Nazis, so you’d think they’d be aware of it.

      There’s always about 25-30% insane people in every population. It’s roughly the same percentage of Canadians who are SOMEHOW pro-US invasion of Canada

      YouGov is a poll that pays points pr. poll. These points can be used to buy actual products or gift cards worth real money. Lots of people click through them without reading the questions.

      They sometimes add “click option 2 to verify that you’ve read the question”, but even then it’s likely that some percentages just click the right option by chance. On a short poll like this, they probably didn’t even do the check.

      Except it’s nearly half, meaning the majority do not see the U.S. as a threat.

      And they should, because it is. To the world.

          Who’s desperate to move there? The people from wartorn, corrupt and/or oppressive countries who just want to move anywhere else?

          Or do you mean rich people from other wealthy nations who won’t immediately go bankrupt from your broken healthcare system, and only want to move to take advantage of your completely broken tax system.

          If it’s the former, I can’t see that dream lasting much longer, what with the camps you guys aren’t wasting any time setting up.

          If it’s the latter, you can keep them.

      I think Canada or Mexico should carve up the us and make it part of them. I also think they should leave the welfare states in the south to fend for themselves as the remainder of the us
