We have our quarrels on planet earth, but I always imagined, if the day came where an asteroid was on the way to destroy our planet, humans would throw our differences aside and cooperate to defeat the threat.

Imagine my disappointment when an existential threat hit The White House, and instead politicians from around the world came to Washington to kneel before it.

We clearly need more courage in politics.

@randahl Existential threats have nukes.

A lot of nukes.

We dont.

***

Ok, UK and France have some but they too live in polarized and unstable "winner takes it all" voting systems.

Nordic countries, Poland and the Baltic countries dont have nukes. And the "dont have nukes" actually have some courage to help Ukraine.

In a new threat assessment, the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) for the first time in Danish history lists The United States as a security threat to Denmark.

I suppose we knew this was coming after Trump's threat to attack Greenland, but it still breaks my heart, as this will have huge consequences for Danish-US relations.

@randahl Hey! Any interest in Denmark for co-op in #nukesForDemocracy ?

I think that in Finland it is the people who have to demand strong deterrence for our protection. Like people of Finland had to drag Finland to Nato. And our MPs followed when given no options from voters...

Just think that would be kinda hard to have to fight of both ruzzia and UZA in the same time without nukes.

Though we kinda did fight of both soviets and nazies in ww2... 🤔
