  • Data: Denmark not in top military condition according to NATO

    According to an internal NATO pm as Danish Tv2 have taken note of, it appears that Denmark is lagging behind in terms of NATO’s requirements for economic and military capability.

    According to the document, NATO assesses that Denmark is “not particularly well adapted” to NATO’s defense planning. It challenges Denmark’s position as a “core ally” in NATO, it says in the document, Tv2 reports.

    The image does not match Denmark’s self-image, Anders Puck Nielsen, military analyst at the Danish Defense Academy.

    – There is clearly a mismatch between Denmark’s perception that we are one of the puppets in NATO, and then NATO’s view of Denmark that we drag our feet and are one of the nations that try to escape as cheaply as possible.

    The PM must have been written after the latest NATO evaluation of Denmark in July 2022.

    LO chairman Susanna Gideonsson has previously criticized Coop due to the high food prices.

    Now Coop answers.

    – Just going and comparing on the edge of the shelf will be incorrect. We have pure flour in the bag and we don’t care, says the food giant’s CEO Marie Nygren, to TT.

    Gideonsson believes that Coop’s model of being member-owned should work well in these tough times.

    Nygren believes that a pure price comparison does not accurately reflect the situation.

    – I agree that our model works: Being member-owned, and our basis is to have good goods at a good price. But I am disappointed that she is speaking without having the facts on the matter, says Nygren.

    In the last four days, Tunisia’s coast guard has stopped about 80 boats with a total of over 3,000 people, the majority of whom should come from sub-Saharan African countries, according to BBCciting Reuters.

  • NATO after Putin’s nuclear announcement: We are prepared

    – NATO is prepared and follows the situation closely. We have not seen any changes in Russia’s approach to the use of nuclear weapons that would cause us to adjust our own.

    So says an unnamed spokesperson to Reuters the day after the Russian president announced that he is placing nuclear weapons in Belarus.

    According to Putin, the trigger is Britain’s decision to send armor-piercing munitions to Ukraine, which contain depleted uranium. Something that can be equated with NATO’s nuclear weapons expansion in Europe, according to Putin

    The statement is dismissed as “completely misleading”, according to the NATO spokesperson.

    Ukraine asks for a lightning meeting at the UN after Putin’s announcement.

    Hi Bengt! We also initially thought about what kind of copper it could be that the thieves tried to steal – but it was the metal copper, and not copper that you drink from, that the thieves were targeting in this case.
