$ 100 mio for killing in Libya
$ 10 mio for lives in Somalia

The war-of-choice in Libya is at least on the official rhetoric a “humanistic war”.

But I think also the supporters of Gaddafi count as lives too.

In 5 months of “humanistic killing”, lilliput Denmark has spent $ 100 mio. Yes, 20 mio American dollars a month - times 5 months.

Now, Denmark decided to donate $ 10 mio to help the hunger-victims of Somalia.

Could you have imagined Denmark donating $ 100 mio for Somalia? No, certainly not. But Denmark with overwhelming majority was happy to spend $ 20 mio a month in an open-ended effort now lasting 5 months to kill people in a civil war. Danish militarism.

This testifies to how militaristic “innocent” little Denmark has become in is foreign policy and “humanistic” intentions. In reality, Denmark seeks to use its military support to bigger nations (especially the USA) as a way to greatly expand its international political importance.
