At a time when Russia and NATO are eyeball to eyeball (or not, according to who you believe) in the Ukraine and various countries are denying that they want to join NATO (or being denied by Turkey), the game to sidestep this little hurdle is join by the EU backdoor.
How so?
The EU troops are mostly the same as the NATO troops - they merely deploy under different badges and (at least notionally) under a different command structure.
So if you can't join NATO, join the EU.
Oh wait - Denmark is already a NATO member ... so there must be another reason for joining the EU Security and Defence morass of complexity?
I have to say it's hard to think of one, unless they fear (probably rightly) that being outside the EU structures means that their defence industry will become uncompetitive, since EU manufacturers will be given the lion's share of defence contracts.
