Well if USA foreign policy isn't being run from Moscow, it sure looks that way...

Certainly not to the USA, they're worse again.

If you are of a socialist bent, iceland could also be a small, more or
less forgotten place, in the middle of nowhere. =)
But will Iceland grant you residency?
Iceland is in Schengen, so you can visit (it's a "domestic flight" from Frankfurt or Copenhagen). And a bit of Googling teaches me that EU and
EFTA citizens can live in Iceland without a visa.
Non-EU, non-Scandinavians ... not so easy.

Not only is there Schengen, there is also a nordic treaty which name
escapes me for the moment, which makes it super easy for scandinavians to move around, and it also covers iceland I think. I do know plenty of icelanders move to scandinavia since they are bored with iceland.
Hmm, yes, could be more difficult, but since you are danish by birth, and perhaps still have your citizenship, I think it should be pretty easy for
you to relocate to iceland. For your daughter... difficult to say.

My ex-wife is Danish, I am British. When we were first married she
looked into taking dual nationality. Although the UK permits that,
Denmark did not so she retained her Danish nationality and remained
in England on a spousal visa.

Until very recently the Chinese were the ones who had _built_ the
systems. There's an ongoing program of replacing things like
security camera systems in government buildings and around civil infrastructure which were all bought from the Chinese. Our dopy
politicians somehow didn't notice the problem until China started
banning our exports and we suddenly remembered that they were the
same country our military was designed to defend us against.
As you suggest, the Chinese are probably way ahead of all that
anyway.
