> and that's what allies do.

You're defining "allies" in terms of legal obligations. But obviously Denmark is legally an ally of the United States. I don't need to spell that out. My post about Denmark being the size of Maryland was clearly about whether Denmark is a meaningful ally in terms of conferring a real military advantage to the United States through the alliance.

> For you to belittle that - and in fact to deny it - is utterly ridiculous.

I'm neither belittling it nor denying it. It's just completely irrelevant to my point.

> You believe you are making substantive posts but I really can't tell the difference

Because you react emotionally to discussions about uncomfortable facts.
