bstix,

Yes. Honestly… The plan is to oblige to the NATO 2% requirement, which means that we will need to invest in war production instead of just clinging to old stocks. So even as bad as it is to increase a budget for something that we don’t need, it’s still better for Denmark to restart the production and give away the old stock. Denmark has reopened an old ammunition factory (which had been an eyesore for 50 years) and also collaborating with Germany on the bigger calibers.

Basically, Denmark is investing domestically, in EU and in Ukraine, and it’s all according to agreement with NATO. (Regardless of Trump’s stupid speech the other day, this needs to be done.)

It’s like donating old bread before it goes bad. Let’s hope the Ukrainians can find a Russian head to use it at, because we don’t need it now, but we’re obliged to keep production up.
