Yes, that’s right… Denmark.
In short, the Danes are in talks to join the incredibly limited NATO ballistic missile defense system. This system, if it works, would be capable of defending Europe against a *seriously* limited missile strike… such as could be produced by the likes of Iran. It would be able to accomplish approximately *diddly* against an all-out Russian attack.
The Danes would contribute perhaps one frigate equipped with advanced radar. As a result the Russian ambassador to Denmark wrote in an op-ed:
“I do not think that the Danes fully understand the consequences of what happens if Denmark joins the US-led missile defence… If this happens Danish warships become targets for Russian nuclear missiles.”
