A Danish navy missile could launch any minute due to a technical error, forcing the country to close an area of air space and warn ships of a potential accidental strike.

...

'The launch vehicle, the booster, is activated, and currently cannot be disabled,' the military said in a statement.

IT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: –
“We invaded you last night– we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Dane—geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ‘em the Dane—geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: –
“Though we know we should defeat you,
we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”

And that is called paying the Dane—geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane—geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —

“We never pay any—one Dane—geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!”

Rudyard Kipling
Dane-geld

Never attribute to China what can be attributed to a hung over NCO.

Maybe Denmark should reconsider installing the Telephone Defense System that was proposed back in the 1970’s. This is how it worked: if the Soviets wanted to attack Denmark, all they would need to do is call a number and an answering machine would respond, Мы сдаемся (we surrender).

It’s a sea-skimming anti-ship cruise missile.
