The prospect of war weighs very little in Denmark, for the record. There was quite a shock in Denmark, when Sweden announced its 'war survival guide' a few days ago. There seems to be no indication that the Danish government is going to do the same, or anything similar. The argument being that Denmark is in NATO (Sweden is not).

Lol! I was interviewed about it by a Dutch TV team a few weeks ago and I had no idea what they were talking about! I got it in the mail last week, a little brochure called "What do to if war or crisis comes." I threw it in the trash and refused to take it seriously.

The value of being a part of NATO seems at best fluid with the current US president. That means that your NATO membership might not be as valuable as you thought it was. I'd even go to say as far as saying that Denmark and Norway are being complacent in case they depend on the US for reinforcements - with Trump at the helm.

On the other hand we all know that Trump will be gone by the next US election.

(Besides the current context I am incredibly frustrated with Sweden's unwillingness to join NATO. And just when were gaining some momentum to join, Trump goes and does his thing.)
