Sissel – League of Adults 🇳🇴 🇺🇦

The kind of news you will never see in today's Russia.

A good and great friend of Ukraine states the bleeding obvious, and what every leader should have said years ago. Why don't people like Howard Buffett rule the world?

To all Ukrainians: You have nothing to be grateful for; we should be grateful to you. Many of us are. For your bravery. For your sacrifices. But most of all: for showing us, in the rest of "fat&lazy" Europe, that the purpose of our lives is to stand up for the good. Slava Ukraini!

🇬🇧🇺🇦 British actor Ian McKellen read a poem by Ukrainian veteran Artur Dron, “First to the Corinthians,” on the anniversary of the full-scale invasion.

It is not about beating Orban in April or Republicans in November.
It is about stupid voters.
Why don’t we have more discussions about that?
We are yet again left to bite our nails and hope people will be less stupid this time around.

There must be a special place in hell for any Ukrainians involved in this.

I don't understand how and why the established press keep on taking him seriously. They act as enablers.
"Trump says..." We all know it is nothing but nonsense.

I am nauseated. Sport has become dominated by dirty politics and dirty money. My country, Norway, has probably won a stack of medals at the Olympics. I no longer care.

The Orange Moron is not the problem. He is just a result.
The result of lazy, ignorant or brainwashed voters. Those who voted for him and those who did not vote at all.
We will keep on having new Trumps, Berlusconis, Orbans and other clowns unless we take action against stupid and lazy voters.

Norway's former PM Jagland charged with gross corruption over Epstein links The charge was brought after the Council of Europe lifted his immunity, which he had as its former secretary general.

Jagland and Epstein. The pettiness of it all! Jagland's bad English. Invited himself to Epstein’s island. Begged for a loan. Epstein picked up his bills. How can such a lowly character end up in such high positions? In one of the world's most developed countries?

The world's most important index report. "Corruption is like cancer", may be a cliché, but it is a true one. No country permeated by corruption will ever flourish.

Short post. What Can We Learn from the Epstein Affair? What can we, ordinary citizens, learn from this sordid saga?

The people in Epstein’s circle could have been stopped. That did not happen. No one stopped Mandelson, Jagland, Andrew, Chomsky, Musk or the rest of the lovely lot —long before they shook hands with the inglorious bastard.

The GOOD THING about the Epstein affair: It involved people from both the left and the right. It was not just an alt-right set-up.

It’s time we ditch the left versus right dichotomy, see our leaders for what they are, not where they belong on an outdated and harmful spectrum.

Would you have said no to an invitation from Epstein?
I hope I had checked his background and said thanks, but no thanks.
Can I be absolutely sure about that? No. What about you? Would a chance to meet some high and mighty people have been too tempting?

The Orange Moron isn’t the problem. The problem is that he wasn’t stopped.
We must stop overfocusing on the man at the top.
We must start focusing on why millions of voters, staff, politicians, reporters and donors carried this man into office. Twice. Otherwise, the same thing will happen again

If there is anything this voluminous Epstein scandal should teach then it is to stop being impressed by titles, fame and money.
Are these the kind of people we want to admire, and to give power over us? People who begged to be invited to his sex-trafficking island... 1/2.

It’s about time we put our petty battles aside, drink several pints of humility, and focus on our primary task— to be responsible housekeepers.

What if the planet had been your house? Would you have treated it the same way as we treat the planet? Especially, if you knew you had nowhere else to go?

A reminder in these tumultuous times.

The Earth does not care about capitalism, the left versus the right— or environmentalism for that matter. The planet merely reacts to the damage we do to it.

Short Post. What Has Been Overlooked in the Greenland Debacle? The People of Greenland As President Zelensky has reminded us, conflicts are not about territories; they are about people.

What Has Been Overlooked in the Greenland Debacle? The People of Greenland.
As President Zelensky has reminded us, conflicts are not about territories; they are about people.
That aspect seems to have been lost in the cacophony surrounding this episode of the POTUS reality show.

Japan do things the mature way. No bravado, no self-applause—just doing good for the sake of it.

I have met many great Americans, but I am afraid I have to agree with you right now.

YouTube video by Dr Russell Razzaque What’s Going On Inside Donald Trump’s Mind? A Psychiatric Analysis

How to handle the Orange Moron? It's time we start to listen to PSYCHOLOGISTS instead of political analysts. Narcissism is so much more than just being self-obsessed.
Dr Russell Razzaque offers an excellent insight into the Orange's mind.

I don't understand these reports on people forgetting Ukraine or being tired of hearing about the war. Does it all come from America? Or am I living in a Scandinavian bubble?

This is nothing new. It is based on legislation that has spent decades in the cupboard, and is now brought to light again.

What Abraham Maslow Said About Bastards Treat them as the bastards they are.

More relevant than ever:
"The correct thing to do with authoritarians is to take them realistically for the bastards they are and then behave towards them as if they were bastards. That is the only realistic way to treat bastards." -Abraham Maslow

Som om den oransje tullingen bryr seg. Han leser ikke noenting. Han vet ikke hva traktat betyr. "Is that some kind of deal?" -Yes, Sir." "it's not MY deal."

The MONUMENT of Stepan Bandera. The man died in 1959.

Before they do that, could they please facilitate a European social platform? Launch some kind of competition, perhaps?
