Denmark is already part of nato,they were a founding nation, they were asked if they wanted in on the missile defense system and then got threatened.
That's not rational negotiations.

Overly misleading title. Russia did NOT threaten nuclear war with Denmark.
It's just the Russian ambassador who said that IF Denmark opens a base for NATO anti-missile defense systems, the Dane Navy ships would be in the crosshairs of Russia for nuclear bombings. This doesn't even mean a direct retaliation, only that if they'd use those missiles against Russian ships in the Baltic sea, then the Dane ships would be nuked. That's all he said.

After reading the titles on that blog and seeing that everyone is anti-western. Sorry I am not going to read any Russian propaganda. ( I prefer sources the tell both sides of the story)
I'm just curious as to why a defensive missile shield would put Putin on the offense ?
Regards pitiful foppotee .

By joining this missile defence system Denmark are agreeing to becoming a target of Russian missiles as this I'd what the system has been designed for.

Of course, I mean, Denmark will have anti-rocket system, that could have a huge influence in the potential war between the west and Russia. It's very stupid from Russia to say that then, Danish ships will be targeted as well!
How stupid does that sounds?
Also, why's there a need to have an anti-missile system there, pointed against who and for what reason?
Poor attempts by some posters see to yet again twist things around and present Russia as a threat.
