When it comes to the Danes. Many joined both side.
I truly understand the ordinary Americans standpoint-It is time for us Europeans to take charge in our own country and Europe not to forget take charge in Ukraine.

As usual Markus, you're always a diplomat and the voice of reason.
To a large degree, I agree with you. By and large, the bulk of the fighting by the allies was done by the U.S, England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and I'm sure others. That really wasn't the Issue.
The point I was making was that Dargo and and other Citizens of various Countries in Europe should have a little gratitude not only regarding the liberation of their respective Countries by fighting men of the Allies but also that the U.S alone provided financial support after WW2. I am of course referring to the Marshall plan. This was made to Germany, Italy and also Japan, the Axis Powers. How crazy is it that the victor in a war essentially paid War reparations to rebuild their former adversaries ? The U.S of course helped to rebuild it's allies as well.
Ostfriese in post #
12886 had made racist remarks. Further, Ostfriese had also made the inflammatory remarks that our treatment of Migrants was cruel in a since deleted post. Ostfriese should understand that well as he is a German citizen. This is a rather Ironic position and a stupid and laughable comment considering how Germany treated their Jewish Citizens whom they considered less than desirable in World War 2.
By most accounts, Germany killed 6 Million people of Jewish heritage in Industrialized Killing Factories. Germany killed many more prisoners of war, those of an intellectual capacity like Scholars and many who were thought to be a problem for Hitler's regime. This is of course, well documented. My point is this. People from Germany should understand their own history before denigrating other Countries handling of their respective internal affairs. Germany and Poland and other Countries are having their own Issues regarding Muslim Migrants. We all know that has been a fiasco.
And yet, we in the U.S, haven't thrown that in their faces as they have regarding the Citizens and Subsim members of the U.S. I don't say this to hurt or wound our German friends and Subsim members but simply to put things in perspective. I am also half German if that means anything. That being said, I understand my own German heritage and history. If you live in a glass house, don't throw rocks at people, lest you have them thrown back at you.
The U.S under Trump is removing those in the U.S here Illegally. The Migrants are unvetted and mostly criminals who rape, pillage, bring drugs and crime and those who have no regard for the U.S, it's laws or citizens. We in the U.S don't want our Country, Schools and health Systems overwhelmed by foreigners. Further, we in the U.S don't want to be responsible for the Worlds people and we refuse to be. President Trump is doing what he promised to do during his campaign. It's a position a large number of the Electorate in the U.S agreed with.
We don't care what color the people coming here may be as there are those from Russia, India, Pakistan and everywhere else Illegally crossing our borders. We are not being inhumane but simply shipping them back to their Countries of origin.
The last time I checked, we didn't need the permission of the rest of the World to resolve what is, an internal affair of a sovereign Country - namely, the U.S
