Attempting to seize the Baltic Approaches by asserting an Anti-NATO internationalist Bolshevist government, which would by default be having to seek the support of the Russians in order to effect such an action; you're the Quislings inside of our North Atlantic security zone.BjornP wrote:That's not what a Quisling is. What you're proposing, a foreign puppet, that's a Quisling. And the maritime chokepoint would only fall into the wrong hands if this hyper-hypothetical Unity List-Denmark allowed Russia or China the right to build bases on some Danish island somewhere.Smitty-48 wrote:You'd be the Quislings with all you "America is an evil empire" blah-blah-blah, we'd simply be preventing the maritime strategic choke point of the NATO Baltic Approaches from falling into the wrong hands, and the EU would side with us, you'd have nobody in your corner if you tried to go Bolshie on us.BjornP wrote:
If I've translated your florid prose correctly, I suspect I agree we'd get Quislinged by "you" in a heartbeat... if *cough* "you" did that. Good thing "you" aren't doing that, then. And somehow countries living outside NATO, get to live in frivolous hippie communes, too. And we started building our current hippie commune back in the 1920's. Funny how that goes...
The idea of NATO attacking a former member for leaving the alliance, even Denmark with its strategic position... Yeah, no, doesn't sound politically likely, and you'll need more than just your usual florid prose to sell it.
There'd be no attack, we'd simply have internal Danish elements depose the government and install a client government instead, no fuss, no muss, nary a shot fired.
