The US could never win from Denmark. Every tank or plane they destroy, Denmark just rebuilds as they are made from Lego.
Honestly, I have 15 years of naval experience, the Danish are one of the best trained and most modern navies I’ve ever seen or worked with (together with Germany and Norway) while the Americans nearly shot down their own helicopter by mistake, MULTIPLE TIMES, if it wasn’t for an allied unit to intervene at the last moment like:
“This is US warship, hostile contact incoming, final warning read, opening fire.”
“This is NL warship, hold your fire! wtf guys, did we miss an exercise or something? Are you aware you’re about to open fire on your own helo right now?”
“This is US warship, hostile contact now friendly, out.”
I’ve never seen a more incompetent navy out there, and I’ve worked with Italian, French and Peruvian navies too so that, says a lot.
They may look impressive, with all their tech and carriers, but remember: They fought a 20 year war in Afghanistan against illiterate nomads with 60 year old kalashnikovs who live in caves, and they lost.

Hey now. The US also lost a war against jungle villagers, and then later started losing ways against inanimate objects like drugs.
LordWiggle@lemmy.world 4 months ago
At least it’s not as bad as Australia. They lost wars against emu’s, beatles, toads, rabbits and mice.
Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I can’t think of a war where the US decidedly won it since the civil war, which is purely on the technicality that the confederacy was not the US.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Everyone loses to Vietnam and Afghanistan though. They’re both famously good at home turf guerilla warfare

Nobody wins a Lego war. You think that unexploded munitions left behind from conventional wars are bad, imagine condemning generations to come to live in a world where you could step on a stray Lego brick at any time.

That said, Afghani peoples have successfully fought off a lot of superior forces over the centuries. Most recently before the U.S., the Soviets.
Afghanistan is just not a great place for a military to root out a guerilla force. Those caves you’re talking about are a big reason. The people who know the land have used that knowledge to their advantage for millennia and it’s not something modern technology can really win against unless you’re talking dropping a nuke on them.

Also USA basicaly just won. They just didint really had a plan for afghanistan.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 months ago
In order to understand American military doctrine you need to understand a few things. First we’re an engineering power masquerading as a military and cultural one. Second we had three major advantages in the world wars: we came in late to both, our civilians and manufacturing capacity were on the other side of the world, and we had more experience with an industrial war than anyone else thanks to our civil war. And third, we know we’re insane and so does everyone else, sometimes that means we surprise Hitler, other times it means we accidentally shell Mexico.
And yeah the guy who shelled Mexico? L. Ron Hubbard, founder of scientology back when he was in the navy.
I’m not even a little surprised Danes had to stop ourselves from shooting our own helicopters.

Americans think they are insane, the rest knows they are dumb.

Hey Danes, if murica ever invades, just teach your farmers guerilla tactics. It’s like a cheat code against them.
isthingoneventhis@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Is it a charcoal gruerilla or propane guerilla?

Eh, I was was more thinking about silverback guerilla 🤓

I am looking forward to the day when HM Queen Margrethe II officially decrees Solvang to be the new capital of the new semi-autonomous Danish territory.

Why? Just because it’s Danish without any of the swedes or Norwegens you have to deal with in Minnesota?

You know, Lincoln really pushed that whole “a house divided cannot stand” thing, but what is the actual reason that this particular geographic area has to be organized under one big government like this? Politically speaking, I don’t want anything to do with the vast majority of you. My state being ruled from Washington D.C., might as well be ruled from London like it was originally, there’s no political autonomy and rampant tyranny.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 months ago
That would actually solve several of my problems and I wouldn’t even have to learn a new language

AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
Danish is a horrible language please dont do that. You have 4 nordic languages to pic from and you not only pick the worst one but also the one thats probably one of the worst languages of all time. Lotr and star trek trying to create the most disgusting sounding languages failed because danish was already a thing. Danish is so revolting that you start vomitting from it when you hear it and danish people think youre just replying to them.
lemmylommy@lemmy.world 4 months ago

SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 4 months ago
And Swedes sound like Stitch.
ZC3rr0r@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
Accurate though. Danish sounds legit like super drunk Swedish at a distance, and uncanny valley up close to anyone speaking Swedish or Norwegian or German.
Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 4 months ago
There are way more than 4 Nordic languages to pick from. Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Faroese, Icelandic, Greenlandic, Sami. Still Danish is of course the worst one.
bstix@feddit.dk 4 months ago
Du’ dælme smart.
dojan@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I’m sure there are more than that. Älvdalska comes to mind. Isn’t Sami a group of languages rather than a singular distinct language?
AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
Ahh i didnt count faroe and i only thought of the north germanic ones. Interesting mistake because i live in sweden and i myself am a finno-ugric speaker by being a native hungarian speaker.
rabber@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
Could pick the one that sounds like elvish but no let’s pick the one that sounds like mouth full of potatoes
Absolutely disgusting

Then again, US-American English is not exactly the most sophisticated sounding language either.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 months ago
English is considered one of the hardest languages to learn because we have rules. And then we don’t use them. It doesn’t help that it’s actually something like a 5 language mash up.
woelkchen@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I’d rather learn Danish than Finnish (also, I count 6 Nordic languages: Danish, Swedish, Finnish, the two Norwegian languages of which one if a Danish dialect, and Icelandic, plus there are surely a few minority languages, probably in the far north or so).
AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
As another commenter said you also have faroe, sami and a lot of languages in greenland. The two norwegians dont really count as two different languages. Calssifying north germanic languages can be a bit hard because its a language continuum.
ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 4 months ago
If this is all I have to worry about. Then I’m all in.

you’re gonna get their pronunciation too and it’s going to bleed over into the rest of the language. might as well throw away your hard consonants right now, it’s all rødgrød med fløde from now on
