Denmark and Sweden go at it on Twitter, and it is pretty funny. I hope things don’t escalate until after I leave. 🙂 > **[That epic time Denmark and Sweden got into a Twitter war](https://www.thelocal.dk/20160707/that-time-sweden-and-denmark-got-into-a-twitter-war)** > > The age-old rivalry between Sweden and Denmark took a surprising turn on Thursday. ---

Are we sure those are Swedes? They’re talking. They might not… oh wait. It’s twitter, the electronic version of little anonymous notes… ---

Hilarious to me because it’s timely. I’ve just been reading about Gustavus Adolphus and Christian IV and the events of the Thirty Years War 😃 ---

Somewhere King Harald V of Norway is tenting his fingers and whispering, “soon.” > [@Nava](#): > > Are we sure those are Swedes? They’re talking. They might not… oh wait. It’s twitter, the electronic version of little anonymous notes… More like the electronic version of having a private conversation, screamed at top volume. Plus the Norwegians and the Finns are the real silent types, according to SATW. ---

No, Denmark is the _himbo_ slut. Sweden is the luscious dominatrix who can make Brother Finland speak without involving saunas.
