The Danish agricultural industry accounts for 1% of GDP and almost 70% of land use, the highest in the world. The Wikipedia page on Denmark doesn't even bother to list it as a major industry (unlike Lego) and the only figures I could find put it at around 8B DKK. Lego does 66B DKK on its own.

What criteria are you using?

By the last metric I saw, Denmark produces food for about 12 million people, and that's mainly animal products. Denmark has a population of 6 million.

Cutting food production in half would not jeopardize food security. Switching focus to plant-based food production would more than double it again.

Its a special military operation, right?

In all earnesty, what does it change to send troops to Ukraine? What did any of these red lines we European were afraid of help?

Should not send tanks, it could start a war.

Should not send planes, it could start a war.

Should not allow Ukraine to attack inside Russia, it could start a war.

I'm all for defending Ukraine, it's just that it would have been good to have the USA on side.
