NEW: A diplomatic controversy has erupted in Copenhagen after the U.S. Embassy removed 44 Danish flags honoring the 44 Danish soldiers killed during the war in Afghanistan.

The flags were placed by Danish veterans in flower boxes on a public road outside the U.S. Embassy, shortly after Donald Trump criticized allied forces’ contributions in Afghanistan during a Fox News interview.

In a written response to Danish broadcaster TV 2, the U.S. Embassy said the flags were removed because they were not installed by embassy staff nor formally coordinated, adding that it is standard practice to remove unauthorized objects and that there was no malicious intent.

However, Danish media report that embassy security staff were aware of the flags and initially approved their placement, raising questions about the embassy’s explanation.



The removal has triggered strong political backlash across party lines in Denmark. Multiple lawmakers have called the action disrespectful, “indecent,” and “insensitive,” noting that Denmark fought alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan and suffered one of the highest per-capita casualty rates among coalition partners.

Copenhagen officials are now examining whether the embassy had the legal right to remove the flags from a public roadway. A demonstration and five-minute silence in honor of the fallen Danish soldiers is planned outside the embassy this weekend.

The whole world knows we are being led by a madman.

[Dave Bowman]

3. How petty and childish.

[Escurumbele]

22. Everything they do is petty and childish, the only thing they don't do is govern, they don't know how.

All they know is corruption, and like you said, pettiness.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. This regime sure knows how to turn off the entire world.

[B.See]

35. One has to wonder

how many NEIGHBORS can Trump make an enemy of before it comes back to BITE HIM IN THE ASS.

11. It probably shouldn't (knowing who consorts with the likes of djt) but it amazes me

that these people who are supposed to be diplomats have no idea whatsoever how to behave and comport themselves in polite society. This ambassador must have been raised in the gutter. He is a GUEST in someone else's country and he behaves like a spoiled brat who can't adapt to the country he is living in. He's an embarrassment. But then, so is his boss. Obviously, I expect too much.

[Attilatheblond]

12. Jesus, Mary, & Joseph, did somebody try to get Trump & Miller to eat their vegetables?

Their toddler tantrums and snit fits are so friggen infantile. Somebody spank the lil whiners.

Doesn't Trump realize this makes him look even more impotent than we know, and he knows, he is?

[niyad]

13. on a public road. Are the planters also public?

15. The Donroe Doctrine: Talk loudly, and offend everyone.

[Captain Zero]

16. "and that there was no malicious intent, " BULL FUCKING SHIT

This was a malicious act all the way.

It's always been my experience that 'no malicious intent '
is always stated at any level of government response.
It's a favorite of insurance companies too, when they don't want to pay on a claim.

17. "Multiple lawmakers have called the action disrespectful, "indecent," and "insensitive,"

And Nazi Fascist US Assholes.

..noting that Denmark fought alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan and suffered one of the highest per-capita casualty rates among coalition partners.

Thanks Goodness the "Woman is Replacing the Danish Flags.. They had Better Stay..

TY

[SSJVegeta]

18. I guess if I'm ever in need of tips on how to be petty

...I can just look towards this administration for them.

[Kid Berwyn]

19. Like Bartcop used to say...

"Too stupid to be president."

28. A shot of Chinaco Anejo

and an ear of Bixby corn while listening to Shirley!

23. Trump is making sure we never again have allies in war.

There is no end to his idiocy.

[cilla4progress]

25. Uniting the World!

against us....

[markodochartaigh]

26. When I saw Copenhagen in the headline

I remembered the Little Mermaid statue, thought of Trump and his pedo gang and I was prepared to not be surprised, again.

[ananda]

27. The Trump standard: alienate all of our allies...

and completely ruin the USA in the process.

[chouchou]

30. One of the very few times in my life, regarding people: I want him to not exist.

[GAJMac]

32. I say this because I am an American

Americans have become complete ANIMALS when compared to the rest of the world. It is totally embarrassing.

[Buddyzbuddy]

33. Maybe Denmark could begin street reconstruction lasting

44 months around the U.S. Embassy or install 44 speedbumps around the Embassy to honor those 44 heros. Childish but effective. Construction near or around any of the Felons properties could begin immediately around the world and end coincidentally at the end of his term.
Please, get creative. Maybe outdoor shooting ranges or Skeet clubs near his golf clubs? Golfers would love that.

[BidenRocks]

37. A new gay nightclub!

Club 44
It will be YUUGGE!

[Buddyzbuddy]

38. That's a reward, I'd rather make their lives miserable.

Gay clubs kinda rock. Good tunes happy people that just want to have fun. Unlike my neighborhood bar where every other person is looking for a challenge.

But I like where you sent my mind. Happy thought.

[Totally Tunsie]

34. The last time I was in Copenhagen quite a few years ago,

I stopped for a cold drink at a little refreshment stand near the statue of The Little Mermaid. The proprietor, realizing we were American, stepped aside to show us a photo of Bill Clinton that was hanging on the back wall. He was so proud and excited that BC had stopped there and allowed his picture to be taken.

I think of the gentleman whenever I hear mention of Copenhagen or Denmark and can't help but believe there will never be a photo of trump anywhere near his little stand.

36. This is not a regime that gives a shit about diplomacy.
