Denmark has held a referendum on whether to participate in the EU’s common defense policy.
The result was 66.9% in favor versus 33.1% against.
Breaking the decades-long principle of military neutrality, we have entered the EU one step further.

Finland and Sweden, which were previously neutral Baltic countries, also applied for NATO membership.
It is a change in the security landscape of Europe that has brought about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Blocking NATO’s advance was the cause of the war, but the buffer zone was reduced and the borders became clearer.

Germany and Japan, which are war criminals, have become a justification for increasing military power.
Anti-American countries such as Russia, China, and North Korea are also gathering forces against the rallying of the democratic camp led by the United States.
The ‘mirror effect’ is repeated on the international political arena at the trigger pulled by Putin.

[우첸 / 중국 국방부 대변인 : 중국 인민해방군은 모든 필요한 조치를 취해 타이완을 독립시키려는 어떠한 시도도 분쇄할 것입니다.]
The competition for hegemony between the United States and China is also increasing, raising concerns about whether the entire global village will be divided into two again.
