Denmark has chosen the Franco-Italian SAMP/T air defense system over US Patriots, in a massive win for Paris and a blow to Donald Trump.

Well duh. You can't buy American systems now. You don't even know if the country will even exist in 5 years.
It is a must to be able to get spareparts from an ally!
Great choice
Sticking it to Felon 47.
Europe FIRST 💪
Not to suprised. Trump can order parts of thr navigation get turned off asking them useless.... We can not trust the USA for our defence.... Thats the new world and new partnerships are forming
Good.
Nice
Europe first 👍.
bravo
You're losing your touch Trump. Bullying and extortion doesn't seem to be working so well anymore, does it?
👏👏👏 The right thing to do, Denmark. Let's hope other EU countries show the same moral clarity when deciding whether to get their defence systems from their own domestic market or from King Gimme's America.
Denmark, one of our staunchest allies, that lost more soldiers, per capita, supporting us in Afghanistan than the USA, no lonfer trusts us. Hence the pivot to a European weapons system. Hey, US defense contractors, how do you like trump now? Biden got you respect and business; Trump got you distrust
Well, recently we bought MQ-9B Skyguardians and seems like there will be an extra 16ish F35s and ammo on order soon. Hence, we’ll still buy American if needed - at least for a while⛓️💥😅🥹
Please don't! The European defense industry needs to ramp up quickly, and diversify across the EU (avoiding Slovakia, Hungary, and maybe a few other places?). You're used to right-wing parties, but they seem to have about a 30% ceiling. We have blown thru that, and recovery may be difficult😱.
I get you, and yes, it must. The thing is that we are already implementing the F35 and for a small nation it seems way too costly to opt for a second platform now. Further, right now the Skyguardian has no real competition and we need the capability yesterday. If feasible, we buy European - and 🍎
-Korea -Denmark, -Canada. Trump is a fucking LOSER. MAGA is made up of LOSERS.
It wasn't that good of a system.
The word Trump could be swapped out for America. They did elect this guy Twice - he's the chosen representative of the American people!
77 million out of 350 million people is far from a landslide, a mandate or worthy of calling America Trump. Hell, Biden got more votes in 2020.
This is so important. It isn't "Trump", it's half of America and the entire US government. We have to use the right the words.
92% of black women voted against him. I think we deserve an asterisk. We did not choose any of this.
You deserve that asterisk. Now knock some sense into your men!
It is very much old, uneducated, white men who continue to support Trump. Exactly who you'd picture being a MAGA person, that's them.
🤓Brilliant. Go Denmark💪
Perfectly logical move.
Who would anyone buy anything from an unfriendly, unreliable supplier who may not even exist in a couple of years? President Pedo's US is no longer a friend to Europe.
Good for them. The rest of Europe should follow suit and stop buying US weapons altogether. 👍
To be fair you can't really tell Europe to look after its own defence, and then get cross when we do.
But wait for Trump to give it a try. We have them the best deal for the best weapons and they turned it down. So ungrateful. So ungrateful.
•gave• them dammit.
Keep the money within the borders ❤️
smart decision
To be fair to Trump, Denmark noted that the delivery time for Patriot systems is very long due to high demand. It’s great that they opted for a European system.
Il y en a qui vont être contents! @xtytelman.bsky.social
Buy european!
🇪🇺
It's a good habit - never buy a weapon from an ally of your enemy
Finally a country in Europe makes a courageous decision.
Oh yes let's hope this is the beginning of making our own stuff.
Uhm, choose a defense system that you can import from closeby from close allies or choose a defense system from a nation that has threaten to attack you and annex your territory? What a dilemma!
Yeah, I'd never be able to choose
Shakespear'esque
