A relief to go to bed knowing that Moldova is still likely to be a liberal democracy tomorrow

Unlikely to be that long distance if they were just noticed by the airport. Same for the ones in Oslo. We'll just have to await real info

Not jumping to any conclusions, but wouldn't it be convenient for someone testing NATO's air space, that the U.S. had an internal conflict taking all the attention?

Godt at noen passer på

Georgia. Demokrati i revers - Humanist forlag Utgis 15. september I 2023 så Georgia ut til å være på stø kurs mot EU-medlemskap. For hvert tilbakeslag siden selvstendigheten i 1991 hadde det georgiske demokratiet reist seg sterkere enn før. Likev...

"Georgia - demokrati i revers" er nå klar for forhåndsbestilling.

For to år siden virket Georgia på stø kurs mot EU-medlemskap. I dag har regjeringspartiet Georgisk Drøm og erstattet drømmen om Europa med autortitært styre og tilnærming til Russland.

Catch, invaders!

The free world is forever in Ukraine's debt.
Слава, слава, слава!

Ser at det er en del forvirrede sjeler der ute som snakker om Europas mest korrupte land.

Her er litt folkeopplysning fra en enkel fyr:

Errata: of course €1000 per Norwegian citizen. There are millions of us, not thousands 😅

Whose security report outlines one single ideal investment in the security of Norway: The victory of Ukraine. 8/8

B. We want the oil fund to be a guarantee of future generations' prosperity.
One might say that future generations would benefit from not having to learn russian whilst living in a totalitarian Norvegi Oblast, but you shouldn't take my word for it. Take instead the word of our military. 7/8

A reasonable concern to guard against. If we spend a lot in Norway we will see wages and prices rise too quickly and overheat our economy. Will this happen if we build power stations and drone factories in Ukraine? Absolutely not. Our economies are just not that tightly linked. 6/

So what is holding Norwegian Ukraine spending back? Firstly we have to talk about handlingsregelen. This is the rule that limits, by norm, what a Norwegian government spends of the oil fund. There are principally two reasons for it.
A. Spend too much, get inflation. 5/

Investment in Ukrainian victory is not an exercise in altruism. We are direct beneficiaries of ruzzian defeat, because we share a border with the terrorist state. Our security is dependent on a weakened or unwilling ruzzia, and unwilling is not on the menu, as empires have no borders.

The estimates vary, but good indications show that we may have increased our sovereign wealth fund by between € 150 billion and €200 billion since the beginning of the full scale invasion. At which point the € 5 billion increase looks already far less impressive. And yet it must be added: 3/

We are one of very few countries that has seen economic gains from ruzzia illegally invading its peaceful, democratic and sovereign neighbour. This is largely in terms of increased demand for oil, but especially gas. Obviously countries in Europe have had increased demand for gas of non-ru origin 2/

In response to the current situation the Norwegian government has increased their spending on Ukraine by 50 billion NOK, about € 5 billion. This may seem generous considering it's about € 1 million per Norwegian citizen. That's until you take a look at our wealth fund 1/?

I had no idea he was autistic 😱

Today was the last day of the second year of the full scale invasion by russia against Ukraine. It was also the day of commemoration of the injustices against Chechnya. Tomorrow I hope every city in the west is filled to show that democracy and sovereignty does not die alone

@torsae.bsky.social Er det virkelig ikke mulig å skru av reklamene på den nyeste kort-episoden? Det blir helt sprøtt med kontrasten, liksom

Zelensky Rejects Trump Administration Demand for Half of Ukraine’s Mineral Resources President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly faulted the American proposal because it did not include security guarantees.

"The unusual deal would have granted the United States a 50 percent interest in all of Ukraine’s mineral resources, including graphite, lithium and uranium, according to two European officials. (...)

Hvis du tenker på Georgetown Women in Politics spørreundersøkelsen så var formuleringen av spørsmålet "Tell me if you agree or disagree with this statement: Men are better suited emotionally for politics than are most women," altså menn er bedre skikket, ikke kvinner er uskikket. Har det noe å si?

Hvem sier at kvinner er for emosjonelle for å styre? Det eneste argumentet jeg har hørt for at kvinner er underrepresentert i ledelse er at de velger det bort

What a disaster of an interview. Ukraine has lost, apparently. Must be news to the Ukrainian soldiers shredding over a thousand orcs a day. Absolute clowns. #notoneinchofeurope

Lex Fridman is truly one of the interviewers of all time

Det hadde vært en stor ære :)

Ivan should really switch to vapes

Directing the mob to go after his livelihood is not a proportional response to someone using rude language. He shouldn't have sent those messages, but it shouldn't ruin your life to shout at a person who wields power, even though it's stupid
