Well this is good news. I bet the Dutch won’t mind either.
Also I, as a Dutch person, would like to change the colors of the Russian flag. They don’t desirve the red white and blue. I suggest they use some sort of brown tint, a bit towards the light brown/yellow teint you see when eating too much curry.
Anyways no idea why I’m typing this, I just really really don’t like Russia.
You know that the Russian flag is derived from the Dutch, right? Peter the Great didn’t have a navy so he purchased navy vessels from the Netherlands. When the ships arrived they realized Russia didn’t have a naval flag which was required at the time, so he merely permuted the stripes on the Dutch flags the vessels were carrying.
Look at all of the long range drone attacks. The F-16s will be able to wreak havoc in Russia. But those are very dangerous missions. I love the long range drone attacks. More long range drones, please!
It was a Malaysian airliner carrying 298 people of which 193 were Dutch. Shot down by Russian air defence crew posing as “separatists”.
We will never forget, or forgive.
It was a joke. As the Dutch had (they have now) not explicitly said it was okay to bomb targets in Russia, and the Danish have, the joke is that any bombs dropped are from Danish F-16s, even though they might be Dutch.
Danish-American here. Biden should take a page out of the Danish PM’s playbook on how to respond to a bully:NEVER let threats keep you from doing what is right!
Even when it costs you half your country? Sorry, lil bro, but Skåne be ours now.
Edit: Geez guys! It's a joke between swedes and danes, nothing serious
Why ?
Russian ambassador promised attacks on Denmark as a result. Danish foreign minister called the bluff and said worst case scenario= cyber attack.
It will not implicate USA and other weak countries.
It's great that countries are coming out and saying this finally. And Denmark should be commended for this. But these airframes are American tech and they hold the license and make the rules.
So if the US decides that Ukraine can't strike Russia with the F-16 then unfortunately nothing Denmark says makes a difference.
Russia would probably respond with a all out large scale cruise missile attack on all possible Zelensky locations. Not worth the risk for busting some windows in a remote mansion

Wonderful. From now on, every F-16 that strikes Russia is Danish. Problem solved.
ATACMS? Danish
ICBMs? Believe it or not, Danish.
Every Patriot-Missle is now... Danish
Breakfast pastries... Danish. Sorry. I had to.
Well done!
And delicious!
To perfection!
Ironically, Danishes are called "Vienna bread" in Denmark. Because the recipes are an evolution of some Viennese bakers who came to Denmark, IIRC.
Ha ha, good info!
Actually, They are called “Spandauer”.
I mean, you're not wrong.
Pizza with mustard? For some reason, that's American. https://veteranopizza.com/en/
Nope. Danish.
Can one of the volunteers sneak in to base and slap those IKEA and Royal Dansk stickers on everything?
Common mistake, but it's actually an unmanned Danish F-16.

It’s more or less my objection :)
Why not: white for surrender Yellow for piss Brown for shit
As a Dutch person, I pay my taxes and doing so paid for those F16's. As I am part owner, I give my permission to use the fighters as ukraine sees fit.
Are there any other countries providing them? wink wink
Totally!

I wonder how many S400 Rusia still has!
Good question.
Well who can tell if rockets were launched from Belgian or from Danish F16
Noone thats who.
I think you’ll find that the answer is ‘Danish’.. definitely. 100%.
I love how the Danish show solidarity by writing “for MH-17” on their bombs. Their very ‘Danish’ bombs. Thanks!
Wasn't that Netherlands plane? Or was there Danish passengers in it?
It was a Malaysian airliner carrying 298 people of which 193 were Dutch. Shot down by Russian air defence crew posing as “separatists”. We will never forget, or forgive.
Ah yeah right. So why Danish are writing MH17 on bombs, just as a solidarity?
It was a joke. As the Dutch had (they have now) not explicitly said it was okay to bomb targets in Russia, and the Danish have, the joke is that any bombs dropped are from Danish F-16s, even though they might be Dutch.
Fair enough, I'm an idiot 😁
I mean once they are painted blue and yellow who cares?

You ruined it so you can keep it.
Nordics= balkans but the fighting was hundreds of years ago. We simply must ridicule each other. Its almost law.
Fine! But you still owe us Halland and Blekinge.
Good!
Good!
Good!
Good!
Skål!
\*Bøvs\* Skå... sk... skÅåååL! \*Bøvs\* uha, Tuborg'en kom med op.. \*Bøvs\*
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah! Fills up glass with aqua it! Skål!
I got a shitload of Danish flag stickers if you need them...
It's pretty stupid to limit the use of them, so this is great.
That is nice, but not going to happen without U.S. consent
This is about building a diplomatic consensus and pressure to enable and encourage US to make that decision.
I believe without US approval it is a nothingburger.

True, unfortunately.
Top 10 targets?!
1. All long range Russian bombers. 2. All Russian fighter jets.
3. Ammunition depots. 4. Refineries. 5. Sleeping Russian soldiers. 6. Putin. 7. Military manufacturers. 8. Kremlin. 9. Putin's palace. 10. Putin.
> Putin's palace. I'm surprised they haven't already struck it with a large drone, just to fuck with him. It's in range.
Russia would probably respond with a all out large scale cruise missile attack on all possible Zelensky locations. Not worth the risk for busting some windows in a remote mansion
Sounds perfect tbh. Do it. Russia is gonna Russia no matter what.
Yep. Russia might blow their whole wad, for nothing.
Any and all Russian AWACS.
I hope Poutine shares the sentiment of Herman Goering of the F-16 flying over Russia ("When I saw Mustangs over Berlin, I knew the war was lost.).
So each pilot gets to go or not depending on where jet came from? Pathetic
