The Great Norse War of Words means asses are on fire. " This is roughly how the crude Danish slang used by the Politika newspaper can be translated to describe the situation surrounding the quarrel between the Scandinavian leaders over a call to Putin. The author tries to find a middle way, tries to prove that all Scandinavian leaders are "right in their own way". And he explains: This week's "great Nordic war of words" reflects Europe that almost five years after the start of the war in Ukraine, it does not have an overall strategy for ending it. And now, to put it in simple Danish terms, the ass is on fire. Europe's leaders face an increasingly pressing, Trump-like reality: You always have to ask yourself if you have the cards to play the game you want to play. Do the Europeans have such an opportunity? not. At least not to play the card of maximalism that Metta Frederiksen suggests: to continue the current European path towards Russia as if nothing had happened recently. Because in fact, very important events happened during the last few weeks. Well, then the author explains to his prime minister that a "new Yalta" of the Big Three is coming, that Russia and the United States have concluded a diesel deal, that Ukraine is suffocating, etc. But in the end, the Danish newspaper concludes: "Matt Frederiksen is right in her skepticism about Vladimir Putin's intentions. But she and her entourage simply do not have winning cards to continue in the same spirit. So now Staub and Stura, with the support of Germany and others, are trying to find new trump cards in Europe, where there is no clear strategy for the future after Trump." So it's clear now, right? The leaders of Finland and Norway called on Putin to "find new trump cards"! No, there are no more winning cards left in this deck for you! Kornilov in Max.
