People want to be energized in their gatherings, not dragged down by having to suffer the insufferable.

I can't say that I blame them, if that's their reason, which works to harden world resolve to force our ambassadors to understand other countries on those countries' terms.

For those who aren't clear on this, see this LBN thread: MineralMan Dec 2019 #1

Something is rotten in the state of America. Denmark stood up to Trump. nt Hekate Dec 2019 #28
Denmark can do better. They should have held the conference and refused to censor the speakers. RainCaster Dec 2019 #15
Or they could have continued, just disinviting the American ambassador. Fully justified. ancianita Dec 2019 #16
True. And requested that she be sent home for being a political tool instead of a diplomat RainCaster Dec 2019 #17
Sure, they could take the opportunity to rub it in MF45's mockable face. ancianita Dec 2019 #20

I think we will be seeing more of this type of thing happening because of trump. katmondoo Dec 2019 #19
Good for the Danes for standing up. djacq Dec 2019 #22
It seems to me that cancelling the conference IS buckling to US censorship. scarletwoman Dec 2019 #24

Nah. If the ambassador objected, she should have been told her participation wasn't necessary. scarletwoman Dec 2019 #26
I hear you. That's apparently not their style. ancianita Dec 2019 #27
Have to agree. triron Dec 2019 #29
