       Uganda isn't even a NATO country and it is doing more than most
       NATO countries:

       Around 1.5 million people have found asylum there, according to
       the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, most of them
       from neighboring South Sudan. Uganda is known for having
       friendly policies that give refugees plenty of rights, including
       education, work, and property ownership.

       If Uganda can take 1.5 million refugees, Denmark (whose
       population is ~1/10 of Uganda's) can take 1.5 million x 77/10 =
       11.5 million. It has not. Therefore Denmark must be destroyed:

       This is the kind of attitude we need!
       Similarly, there should be hundreds of navy ships deployed to
       ferry refugees across the Mediterranean 24/7. I have been saying
       this since 2015, yet to this day refugees are still forced to
       use dinghies.....

       Which way will the US choose: the American way or the Western
       way?
       And if the former, does the US understand that the true American

       Western countries to turn all their territory into lebensraum
       for the refugees whom they turned away?

       that the reentry law was "enacted with a discriminatory purpose
