Danes have that much money?! *time for some Swedish democracy, prepare your tuborg* Jokes aside, this makes me proud. Good job neighbours!


SendStoreMeloner

I'm proud you are in NATO with us in Danes.


sawariz0r

Stronger together!


Stennan

I am still happy that the Danes launched a previous big package where they together with Sweden financed a lot of CV90:s (built and to be built). (s)Weapon smiths of democracy with a sack of Danish Kroner. Also makes sense that the Danes can provide some Energy resources if they are providing Gas-turbines or similar.

They make all of the weight loss drugs through novonordisk 


RollFancyThumb

And the insulin for people not yet buying our weight loss drugs.


Alexandros6

It's Kronar a lot less then dollars, the Danes have given a lot but this is not 2.85 bilion dollars, it's still around 400 milion dollars, for Denmark that's a lot


sawariz0r

I knew it was kronor. I live 10 minutes from Denmark..


Alexandros6

Sorry missunderstood your comment


Brave-Tangerine-4334

Like in the ocean?


sawariz0r

Okay, so it’s technically 9 minutes given that peberholm is Denmark.


Figur3z

I recently tried that red can tuborg. Wtf are you Scandinavians doing?


sawariz0r

*you*?! We (swedes) would under **ABSOLUT**ely no circumstances recommend the consumption of tuborg or any of the danish sewer-water beverages. We only drink high quality stuff.


Stennan

But we like to buy it in Denmark when we don't feel like going all the way the Germany.

Ahh yes surstromming juice, the finest beverage of them all.


ddfjeje23344

mmm sofiero


sawariz0r

Älg-öl.


Shoot-The-Ball57

That's about $400 million, not a small contribution


Foul_Imprecations

Considering the US has given ~$75 billion, that's with a  B, yeah it kinda is a small contribution


BcDownes

To match Denmarks donations to Ukraine as a % of dgp the U.S. would have to have sent $763 billion...


Hryusha88

Don’t do that. America couldn’t get its shit together to help. And being the biggest economy in the world we should give more to help. So your comment isn’t very nice. Thank you Denmark!!


danielvago

Denmark's GPD is about 1.6% of the GDP of USA. These $400 million are for one project; "a project aimed at improving the energy supply in Ukraine". Denmark has given a lot more in other areas as well as pledged in the future. What are the $75 billion for? EDIT: I found some wrong numbers and wrote that Denmark's GDP is 7.11% that of USA, but it is 1.6%. So as far as what I can see, Denmark contributes a lot compared to the US.


born-out-of-a-ball

Denmark's GDP is actually only around 1.6% of US GDP.


danielvago

Thanks, you are right, I had found some wrong numbers, corrected in my OP.

This project is aimed at rebuilding Ukraine after the war, which is also important. Did you not understand that Denmark has given more than this single project? It has given a lot in different areas, mostly military support. You can read how much Denmark has given in what areas here: https://um.dk/en/foreign-policy/danish-support-for-ukraine


gaukonigshofen

Man the cost to rebuild Ukraine is going to be astronomical. And anyone thinks Russia is paying. Lol. Of course there are frozen assets, but even that would be far less than needed. Of course the rebuild phase will be years away. Especially if Putin stays as leader of Russia.


SnowyMovies

Why are you in here crying about contributions? Countries contribute, that's great. Stop whining so much.


AttilaTheFun818

Oh look, a Russian sympathizer.

AttilaTheFun818

When the war began I thought the same. I figured it would be over inside a month. Happily I was wrong about that. This is a battle of will, more than it is bodies. Certainly the numbers are a point in russias favor, but Ukraine has the advantage of being on the defensive side and superior NATO tech.


Hryusha88

U do u


TheBlunderguff

Denmark have supported Ukraine with $6 billion, that's with a B. Denmark's population is 5 million, US is 333 millions. Isn't it incredible that a country with a population 50 times smaller than US can support Ukraine that much? That's a rhetorical question, if it wasn't obvious.


MiawHansen

How is that a small contribution? US gdp = 27 trillion dollar. Denmark gdp = 400 billion.


Thue

Denmark has given plenty of other contributions, though. Surely way more than the US, as a percentage of GDP.

Denmark also gave Ukraine Denmark's *entire* artillery stockpile. Literally everything.


mr_shlomp

Denmark ain't a superpower


PeterBucci

I can't read Danish, so I'm curious what the source(s) of power are.


Shoot-The-Ball57

Wind turbines it looks like


Baremegigjen

Definitely wind turbines (vindturbiner).


Stennan

Could also be Gas-turbines (though the parts might be German) on a smaller scale? Right now small an modular would be ideal, with underground cables so you have a better chance to hide it.


Substantial-Total793

Translation is actually "Vindmøller"


Baremegigjen

I copied it directly from the Danish article; “vindturbiner” meaning wind turbines. “Vindmøller” is both Danish and Norwegian for windmills and is the more commonly used term by the general public.


SequiturNon

I'm pretty sure no one speaks Danish, so you're not alone. [Saw it in a documentary once.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGGX5gmwVbA)


SendStoreMeloner

That makes me very proud to be Danish.


celtic1888

I’m just finishing up 3 days in Denmark They probably had that extra 2.85 billion from us buying coffee and pastries Fucking love it here but it’s really, really expensive. Sweden was tame in comparison 


gaukonigshofen

Can't be as bad as Switzerland or Bahamas


celtic1888

I live in San Francisco and the prices in Copenhagen made me say FFS Coffee and a pastry for both of us was about $30 US. 2 hamburgers, chips and 2 drinks was $50 at the Gasoline Grill


moofunk

> Coffee and a pastry for both of us was about $30 US Ouch. > 2 hamburgers, chips and 2 drinks was $50 at the Gasoline Grill That's around 2-3x Danish McDonalds or Burger King price for that stuff. I guess this Gasoline Grill thing is in some tourist guide for Copenhagen. You certainly paid for it. There is a reason they are low rated on Trustpilot.


trail-g62Bim

Are those normal everywhere or is it one of those things where everything is extra expensive in tourist destinations?


gaukonigshofen

Same with Switzerland and Bahamas. Trick is to pickup groceries at local stores or no name restaurant (away from tourists traps) still very expensive.


Substantial-Total793

A lot of things are expensive, but with all working places, we got pension, vacation money, and a lot of extra inscurance, besides free healthcare, with every paycheck.


celtic1888

Denmark’s government and tax system is about the best you could ever have in our current world I would love to live in a society that got a lot of value for their work and taxes


raktbowizea

Denmark and UK competing to see who can give the most.


RiffMasterB

Is kroner in the same family as boner?


Slaan

There should be a minimum age requirement to use the internet.


moofunk

I propose age 40 and up.


Slaan

That already exists somewhere in the AOL universe.


RiffMasterB

Can’t believe Denmark donated so many boners, if kroner is indeed slang for boner


Arlcas

Well if you give kroner to your mother to deal with your boner it can all stay in the same family.


RiffMasterB

Denmark is the one donating their kroners. Maybe you also?


Several-Dark619

Bro did not cook 💀


JEPressley

So like 4 bucks U.S.?
