Sooo... other countries burning flags of other nations in public is okay, but this is not?

Even if this has whataboutism-character and I appreciate the take of "making it better, even if others don't", I can't deny there is some irony to that.

No, burning other countries flags is prohibited in denmark, burning the danish flag is ok

According to Danes, yeah seems like it. They don't seem particularly bothered by those other countries burning their flag.
