The Systematic Destruction of Denmark's Military Over 30 Years: "Ships that cannot sail; Planes that cannot fly; And cannons that cannot fire — Everything is missing"

Unfortunately for Denmark, the kingdom's position in relation to Donald Trump and Greenland is unlikely to be improved by the book that was published last November, Defenceless (When the Biggest Threat Comes From Within).

Sjællandske Nyheder has spoken with Peter Ernstved Rasmussen:

Editor and founder of the online media OLFI, the former reserve officer in the Danish Life Guard, Peter Ernstved Rasmussen, is known as a man who dares to speak out. Especially when it comes to the contents of his heart, Denmark's defense.

And there is little doubt that he does that in ‘FORSVARSLØS - Når den største trussel kommer indefra’, published by Lindhardt & Ringhof. 

The subject of the book is what Peter Erntsved Rasmussen calls the systematic destruction of the kingdon's Defense for more than 30 years.

"Today it consists of ships that cannot sail. Planes that cannot fly. And cannons that cannot fire. Everything is missing, from soldiers, air defense, artillery, anti-aircraft defense, submarines, tanks, night combat equipment, weapons, ammunition, radios, and binoculars to things as banal as socks, notebooks, and printer paper," he writes in a press release, where he also addresses who is to blame for the Armed Forces' miserable condition.

"The book describes a national tragedy that could only be made possible because successive prime ministers, finance ministers, defense ministers, department heads, defense chiefs and top officers lied with open eyes, manipulated and withheld the truth about the state of the Armed Forces — and at the same time tried to convince the population that we had the world's best defense."

 … [Incidentally, the film 'The Post' about the Pentagon Papers] has many parallels to the situation in the Danish defense and to the book 'FORSVARSLØS', adds Peter Ernstved Rasmussen.

Moving away from "barracks in disrepair" and more specifically to the Kalaallit Nunaat situation, the founder of OLFI seems sympathetic to Donald Trump, as he writes that Denmark Has Been Snoring Deeply Regarding Greenland: 

The Danish government is in a state of disarray. Instead of bringing the relationship with Greenland into balance, successive governments have continued the overlord mentality. It is with good reason that the Greenlanders feel provoked. So does the United States, because we have never wanted to take security seriously. Now the bill is coming, and it will be expensive.
