    Denmark has never been a net importer of food. Denmark was built on farming and agriculture exports were also the foundation of industrialization. Meaning that the majority of Industries were founded to serve agricultural production or used the byproducts from farming to produce goods.

    Uhm, I can't really recognise much of your claims. I'm Danish. "Allied raid destroyed much of the Danish infrastructure", that's completely, utterly, not at all, in anyway, true. You're confusing Denmark with another country? Like seriously. WTF. Allied air attacks on Denmark. I am aware of one, that was ordered by the Danish resistance against the Gestapo HQ. Everything until you flat out making up stuff that never happened was also weird. Like Denmark needing to import food during WW1, despite being a net exporter, well OK, again stuff you completely made up and didn't happen. Seriously, are you confusing Denmark with the Netherlands or something? Everything is either weird, or just complete and not in anyway related to reality.

    I commented the same prior to seeing your comment. There's something really, really, strange about this video. First I was not really recognising stuff, then he talked about needing to import food during WW1, and the allies destroying the Danish infrastructure with bombing raid during WW1. These are things that aren't, well, it wasn't quite like that, it's just like he's just randomly making things up, as both claims are the exact opposite of what occured.

    So many inaccurate things in this video, as well, what seems like made up stuff or confusion with another country. Bombing raids on Denmark? Never heard of it, never happened. Import of food? Since when? Denmark has always been a net exporter of food. We are the bread basket of Scandinavia and has always been able to feed our nation a couple of times over.

    Some food was rationed. Thats why they had food stamps for butter and other stuff. I think food was rationed because the Germans took a great deal, and send it to Germany. And yes, there was the bombing on Copenhagen, where they mainly hit a French school. My mother, although only a few years old at that time, lived almost next to the building. And tge Danish resistance made a lot if havoc, mainly on train tracks, to derail trains going to Germany, from Denmark and Norway. One of my great grandparent's brother, was in the resistance, in Sønderjylland.

    Ever heard about the bomb raid, that missed, and hit Shell huset - a french school in Copenhagen?! Also, they had to abandin the mission, and therefore sropoed their bombs over Jutland. The last unexplored bomb that was found from that raid, was in Esbjerg, maybe 15-20 years ago, in an industry area. Tgere was very recently made a Danish war movie, about the raid. 1 or 2 years ago. And the Danish resistance did a lot of damage, to the infrastructure, mainly train tracks. This was all sponsored by the allies, so indirectly, he was right in the video.

    Denmark salary is 3 times bigger than here in Spain (1500 €/month on average). Even though I was an IT Systems & Networks administrator, I've been unemployed 16 years because I lost my job just before the Global Financial Crisis (2008-2015) and then later ageism in enterprises which don't hire people over 40. No welfare because I have savings at the bank and I'm not supposed to qualify. State doesn't care I didn't have any income since 2007. Today news said that 130,000 jobs were created in 2023... but there are still 2.8 million unemployed people here. I've done many training courses, but academies just fetch that money from the EU funds and then enterprises don't accept those certificates at all. Society blocks you, no way to escape.

    What is being "robbed", is given back in the form of a stable ecnonmy, good infrastruckture, education etc. making Denmark among the richest and most competetive economies in the world ! Tax rate is basically not relevant, if you dont pay tax, you will have to pay for essential services privately, and that tend to be more expencive ! So high taxes, if the revenue is used well, is good buisiness, if used badly, its bad buisiness !

Kosovo.... The Iraq war....Abugraib and, the raped, tortured and killed victims from there.... And, what about Mali yes - not to forget Haiti and the earth quake there in 2010...Ulla & J.P. Bak (Bak, USA) child sex trafficking again (still) - now moved the "business" to Congo...trafficking ... The completely insane child-sex-trafficking of children from India all over the world etc etc. ...the serfdom slavery of Danes in Denmark....the direct war against all us Danes who live/lived abroad...most of us now brutally robbed, raped, tortured and killed and/ or out Danish identities abused and stolen from in the extreme...just met a person from HongKong who confirmed that yes correct, DK have no intention stopping their Child-sex-trafficking ever .."this is how they make their wealth' was the "positive" comment from HongKong..using, abusing and enslaving North Coreans and eventually just burning them to death - in co-operation with Norway.. Practising Eugenics in the extreme .. Resently bragged over the phone - quote: " we have become the biggest inventor in Europe of - quote: DK/US "dialict" hard core porno"...🤮 Oh and, what was this about the Breivik murders in Norway!?...a so-called academic "specialist" spokvso loud about this here in Ireland, she simply made me stand and leave....never ever heard as many lies anywhere, as we heard from the subject!! - I happen to know Oslo...maybe not in debt but, I know enough about the city, to know these murders have never been explained truthfully anywhere...did you rape all these young people before you killed them Danes?
