It’s neither fear mongering nor a self fulfilling prophecy if you’re simply stating facts. It’s not the Danish PMs fault, that Russia mistakes itself for some kind of empire
“I think we are in the most difficult and dangerous situation since the second world war.” is, by her own wording, decidedly not a fact. It’s pointless hyperbole and headline-hunting that compromises (arguably deliberately so) the reader’s perception of the world. A world that does not make rational decisions but decisions solely based on its perception of itself.
And it was her active decision to make that statement.
Sorry, did I miss the war the UdSSR forced on us in between 1944 and its end? Or Russia until 2014? When was the last time a European country was invaded by a foreign nuclear power? Or the last time a NATO member had their air space repeatedly violated by armed planes and drones?

I’m either misunderstanding you or the Danish PM. So I suppose, even though that would be her job, convince me: Why would the ongoing impotent flailing and blustering of an economically severely strained aggressor and their continued reasonable hybrid effort against your/my/one’s nation be “more dangerous” 2025 than in 2022, 2023 or 2024 and thus warrant a policy change compared to those years? Policy changes that, mind you, wouldn’t even more than tangentially affect nations that are currently facing actual attacks.
Because this ‘flailing and blustering of an economically severely strained aggressor’ is now turned against us and reaching a level where NATO member have been forced into opening fire already.
