I took off from organizing and writing Maksim\u2019s story, in order to demonstrate with a thousand others against US-Denmark wars, to tell both states: \u201cYankee Go Home\u201d, \u201cTake Back Denmark\u2019s Sovereignty\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This was September 2, the day that Donald Trump should have made a presidential visit but cancelled because the Kingdom of Denmark would not sell this real estate capitalist its colony island of Greenland. I suppose Trump figured that since Denmark had already delivered its foreign policy sovereignty to \u201cthe greatest country in the world\u201d two-three decades ago that it would be willing to sell him Greenland, so that the US Military Empire could have more military bases with nuclear armament placed there. But his logic was premature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that same day, \u201ccoincidentally\u201d, Denmark\u2019s \u201csocial democrat\u201d war minister, Trine Bramsen, sent four F16 war jets Denmark had bought from Trump-land years ago to Maksim\u2019s homeland, in order to \u201cprotect\u201d Lithuania from the big bad bear.

On that same day, Denmark also announced it was buying top-notch sonar, so it could play along with its Big Daddy, when they go searching for Putin-run submarines and, of course, there would be more funds for NATO. Not least, Denmark\u2019s war minister announced that she would assure that her elite killers\u2014Commando troops and Navy Seals (Jaegerkorpset and Froemandskorpset)\u2014will be used all the more to protect Denmark against Russia. She announced this without stating what the threat was, but assured us that this \u201cfellowship\u201d with NATO and the US will \u201cbe effective when there is need for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Big Daddy got what he wanted without wasting his time and tax money with a trip to Banana Kingdom Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On\n an historical note, we should recall that there are two direct opposite\n definitions of \u201cfellowship\u201d (or \u201cunison\u201d) for social democrats and \nsocialists and communists. Back during the days leading up to the \nRussian Revolution, the Russian social democratic party had two \nfactions, \u201cBolsheviks\u201d and \u201cMensheviks\u201d\u2014the former wanted socialism \n(leading toward a stateless communist society), and the latter opted for\n \u201csocial democratic\u201d capitalism\u2014a la Bernie Sanders of today. The split \nended with the Russian Revolution being attacked by social democrats and\n their allies, the aristocratic \u201cwhite army\u201d and its allies the US, six \nEuropean states and Japan. Before the 1917 revolution, German social \ndemocrats had gone along with the bourgeoisie\u2019s senseless world war, and\n social democrats have since followed suit in scores of countries and in\n hundreds of wars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I returned to Maksim\u2019s story the following day as Denmark\u2019s mass media obfuscated our antiwar action and boldly announced all of Kingdom Denmark\u2019s war plans to please Big Daddy and the Western war industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThese\ncontributions to US\/NATO war-making were not enough. On September 6, the ministers\nof State \/ Foreign Affairs \/ War announced that Denmark will contribute even\nmore to military and war by sending 500 more soldiers into various parts of the\nworld. They will also sail Denmark’s largest vessel, a frigate, to assist a US\naircraft carrier group. Denmark already participates in war missions in\nAfghanistan (now for 18 years) and Iraq, and “defense” of Kosovo and\nEstonia. They will continue to do so.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
