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.

NEW: Finland's President Stubb, in a Bloomberg interview: We are beginning to witness a shift in the world order. The turning point was Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Right now, we may be living through a moment comparable to 1918, 1945, or 1989 but we don’t yet know which direction the world will take.

BREAKDOWN | Fire Point's FP-7 footage is doing the rounds, and it's worth understanding what the thing actually is. It's a Ukrainian-made ground-launched ballistic missile, and it's pretty clearly Kyiv's answer to running out of ATACMS early last year. Here are the figures the company is putting out, up to 200 km of range, a 150 kg warhead, around 1,500 m/s top speed, and a claimed 14-meter CEP. On paper that lands it in roughly the same class as ATACMS. The difference Shtilerman keeps hammering is price, about half the cost, and that's really the whole logic of it. The point is to have something cheap enough to fire in volume, so that the enemy knocking down a handful doesn't decide anything.
