Eh.

Looking through Danish new sites (Dr.dk, Information, Politiken), there is not a single headline about this. I'm curious as to why, and what the angle will be, whenever we get any domestic news on it.

In principle, I think this is a good thing, and something we should have done a long time ago. However, our current PM (Mette Frederiksen) has a history of promising the moon and then never actually getting around to delivering on it, so I'm kind of half-way expecting this to mean "we'll establish a comittee that'll start an investigation into what we can send and when we can send it" and then it'll take them a year or more to figure out the logistics of it, at which point it might be too late.

I should be excited about this, but I am so jaded by our politicans complete lack of interest in anything else than playing the game and staying in power that I struggle to be.
