Is there a link available to an official statement for this?

https://www.fmn.dk/da/nyheder/2025/fuld-ligestilling-i-varnepligten-fremrykkes/

Only in Danish, but you can probably run it though Google Translate or something similar.

And yes, it is a thing. My youngest daughter will be taking part in the annual ballot next year.

iamschnipps.bsky.social•64 days ago

Thanks Anders. Swede, here, so should be able to understand it.

Russia and the United States, I would guess.

herrvorragend8.bsky.social•65 days ago

....and growing threats from his nontrustful ally USA.

braithmiller.bsky.social•64 days ago

And the USA, since we have war plans apparently

kanadianraven.bsky.social•64 days ago

The EU in general has finally woken up to the fact that their supposed greatest allie has broken trust & may actively be an enemy.

fifthcolumnblue.bsky.social•64 days ago

It's so sad to see the world moving towards militarisation when we should be confronting the existential crisis of climate change, but unfortunately, Putin and Trump don't seem to give a shit about humanity. 😡

sarikaarina.bsky.social•64 days ago

The solution is easy

fifthcolumnblue.bsky.social•64 days ago

Only easy to those with access...

bensurgeon.bsky.social•64 days ago

It is all about power and control with these two. They do not care if the destroy this planet, as long as they can rule over the ashes.

Serious effort to defend themselves and Greenland as well. Bravo

And the US?

maryt51.bsky.social•64 days ago

And from the U S

old-traveller.bsky.social•64 days ago

Anybody ever ask the MAGA folks how annexing Greenland would make their lives better? It won't. It'll be good for Industrialists and real estate developers, that's it. I got ChatGPT to acknowledge that - but the thread is too long for Bluesky.

jchaffee.bsky.social•65 days ago

From Russia? Try the US.

Amusingly, that is because all the men moved to Thailand along time ago. And there's more truth to that than you'd like to think.

ianagr.bsky.social•64 days ago

And the US?

sleeper66.bsky.social•64 days ago

It’s part of project 2025. I kept telling all the magats around my area that have children in high school they better be careful how they vote. Their kids are gonna be sent off to the military. Same old song and dance. Rich kids are always exempt from dying.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/project-2025-high-school-military-exam/

sleeper66.bsky.social•64 days ago

Private schools are exempt!! Republicans are saying, no we just want them to take the test. But you must ask yourself why? If you have a child that they make take this test tell them to fail it. And before anybody comes at me, I’m a mother of a veteran. Once was a military spouse.

bennync.bsky.social•64 days ago

Don't forget Trumps pending invasion of Greenland.

damenewbie.bsky.social•64 days ago

Some wish they could afford the $2500 to the government that doesn't want them and had something to offer Denmark... Some of us were born here and are stuck here due to things outside of their control. We don't want this, but we have no say.

Russia knows that none of the European armies can put ready battalions to fight besides Poland, France and UK. These armies have a lot of work and funding to do.

fedupcdn.bsky.social•64 days ago

Canada needs to follow and do the same thing.

d-a-d.bsky.social•64 days ago

And Germany is still working on the concept of a plan for reintroducing military conscription...

Growing threat from the United States as well.

dztraver.bsky.social•64 days ago

Please know that there are many Americans (especially women)that would willingly serve alongside with you! Myself included! I may be 71, but I can still "hit a target"!

dc-757.bsky.social•64 days ago

When was the last time Denmark even fought a war?

oneavenger.bsky.social•64 days ago

Right along side US forces after 9/11 in Iraq and Afghanistan. Naval deployments for anti-piracy with the US Navy.

ridgewaysretreat.bsky.social•64 days ago

This is heartbreaking the fact that conscription has to exist at all.

christiecrackers.bsky.social•64 days ago

When you live near Russia, you're aware of the threat. And now there's the US ...

scottmarshall.bsky.social•64 days ago

We should consider this in Canada as well, and mobilize as necessary for national guard style responses to emergencies

vanlighet.bsky.social•64 days ago

Meanwhile Arctic zone joint military exercises and projects with our Scandinavian allies have all been suspended or cancelled.

ffa1984.bsky.social•64 days ago

Growing threat from the US (Russian proxy).

bensurgeon.bsky.social•64 days ago

The 🍊💩and Pukin pushing this planet toward another world war.

sibyby.bsky.social•64 days ago

Not or but and (Russia and USA)

balticsee.bsky.social•64 days ago

mira-sorrel.bsky.social•64 days ago

Great move, other European countries should do the same.

rgspol.bsky.social•64 days ago

Bravo Denmark !!!

mom2364.bsky.social•64 days ago

Threat from the USA!

thenewnucleus.bsky.social•64 days ago

And America. Did anyone have “Denmark fights two front war against USA and Russia” on their 2025 bingo cards? Thats like winning the lottery while getting struck by lightning.

irsjimmy109.bsky.social•64 days ago

"Growing threat from Russia "? The growing threat is from the US !!

scottmunn.bsky.social•64 days ago

You mean growing threat from the US.

🫡/🤢/🤮

mcastro375.bsky.social•64 days ago

And how about US?

lt-jlh.bsky.social•64 days ago

I did not know Denmark still had conscription, let alone for females. My France did away with that (probably an error) after I was conscripted.

beardenbrick.bsky.social•64 days ago

You would be surprised by how many people I work with at the LEGO Group who have military service from this.

Also it is Danish troops who train the US military stationed in Greenland so all of Trump's bullshit about needing to secure Greenland is just another stupid swagger.

lt-jlh.bsky.social•64 days ago

OMG, I did not know LEGO was Danish (and I'm French!)

madammem.bsky.social•64 days ago

Surprisingly a lot of large, well known companies from (small) Denmark.

Maersk, Lego, Arla, Carlsberg/Tuborg, Novo Nordisk, Vestas, etc.

Denmark has a really good start up culture for companies.

kickoutthejams11.bsky.social•64 days ago

From R(US)sia...

vero1986.bsky.social•64 days ago

The malice can be explained by downsizings and cuttings across govt. Defund, shut down, and divert as much government funding to their private control. Techbro fascism is his new venture. Musk, Vance, and the Yarvin enthusiasts they’ve placed into positions have big plans.

Not to mention America

whirledbizarre.bsky.social•64 days ago

kristjan007.bsky.social•65 days ago

This is true.
Denmark is stepping up their military and, more importantly, speeding up buying/renewing equipment and so on.
The danish economy is so good that our government has put massive finance into the military and also made it so that the decision is now in the hands of a few specialists.

I never understood why only men were drafted. Women can do all men do.

They know what the US government does not want to acknowledge: Russia is a very real threat to Western Europe and of course the Baltic countries.

Growing threat from Russia or growing threat from America over Greenland ?

THE THREAT FROM RUSSIA AND THE USA

lorihjschaffer.bsky.social•48 days ago

Good idea.

wclamp.bsky.social•64 days ago

Denmark is a NATO country. What about the threat from us re Greenland?

jfdijon.bsky.social•64 days ago

The Danish military may also be needed in Greenland soon. 🇬🇱

beardenbrick.bsky.social•64 days ago

We are already there! Danish officers train the US troops stationed in Greenland on survival! The US and Denmark have a strong alliance in Greenland already, so Trump's bullshit about world security is just a stupid power grab for no reason!

screamingmeemie.bsky.social•64 days ago

I read that all seniors will be required to register for the draft unless they attend private school. Will they be exempt if they are homeschooled?

Are you sure it’s not the growing threat from Trump over Greenland?

Good. I hate to say "be ready," but I think we ALL know how dictators' minds work when it comes to "annexing" other sovereign nations. As the Boy Scouts motto says: "Be Prepared."

Right.... from Russia.. not the insane orange clown

I was expecting that to be in response to Trump. But Putin, whatever — same difference.

And the threat of trump.

sjtofte.bsky.social•64 days ago

Brother in law in Norway says he is very concerned about the weapons the US has in Norway and whether the US will have Norway's back, should Putin escalate beyond Ukraine. Trump is not just terrorizing Americans, but the world.
