I to og et halvt år har disse to messet om at Oslo står på kanten av det økonomiske stupet. Jeg har ikke tatt det med en klype salt, men en sekk grov havsalt. Les, lik og del (som vi sa i gamle dager).

The European Commission will adopt a decision this week that would privilege European satellite operators in a move designed to curb the European expansion of Elon Musk´s Starlink and Amazon’s Project Kuiper www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

«Geelmuydens uttalelser åpner for en ny og interessant innfallsvinkel til den norske modellen, som åpenbart også farger enkelte arbeidsgiveres holdning til sine egne ansatte og til streikebryteri. Er du uenig i ­streikegrunnlaget, kan du gjøre som du vil!», skriver @jonasbals.bsky.social

Kristenkonservatismen har et påfallende selektivt forhold til frihet, skriver Lars Fr. H. Svendsen:

Den ukrainske ambassadøren er i Kirkenes og har svært mye interessant å si. Kanskje vi skal se mer på «fight» enn på flight-strategi i grenseområdene? Sterk tale uansett. Fra en venn med skoene på, for å si det mildt. «You can not outrun totalitarian evil».

The EU’s six largest economies want to break political deadlocks preventing the bloc from creating a U.S.-style financial market in a crunch meeting later this month.

Norge må finne tryggere alternativer som ikke er knyttet til Trump eller andre autoritære regimer.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

The Palentir statement on its desired “Technological Republic” is one of the scariest things I have seen in a while. It is a call for a world dominated by an authoritarian U.S., generated by AI (both the statement and the world), run by tech-surveillance companies. Technofascism pure!

Jeg skriver i @dagsavisen.bsky.social i dag om norske mediers manglende forståelse for botter, falske kontoer, astroturfing og alt annet som kan få engasjement til å fremstå større enn det virkelig er. Fint om dere liker og deler fra alle kontoene deres!

Just after Israel's attack on Hezbollah in 2024, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s government offered issistance to Iran, the key sponsor of Hezbollah. And now Vance is in Budapest, supporting Orban. From Catherine Belton wapo.st/41RvEFd

"Among the president’s initial war goals—preventing Iran from having a nuclear weapon; eliminating its ballistic-missile capabilities; ...overthrow of the regime; and eradicating Iranian proxies in the Persian Gulf—none have been met." from Nancy Yousseff www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

In Hungarian election, Trump and Putin are backing Viktor Orban www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

A joint journalistic investigation found out that Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó had acted on behalf of Russia to delist sanctioned Russians and try to repeal an EU sanctions package. This call is from August 30, 2024. Link to full story in first comment.

"All this time Putin had, and still has, a mole in all European and NATO official meetings. If the integrity of these meetings is to be maintained, it would be appropriate to ban Hungary from all of them. Every generation has a Kim Philby” theins.press/en/inv/29091...

The US tried to pressure Ukraine to surrender. Instead, this is what is still happening, every day

World press is reacting to the U.S-Israel bombing of Iran. The Argentinean @pagina12ok.bsky.social says one is "knocking on the gates of hell". @politiken.dk warns that the "consequences are unpredictable". @elperiodico.com says "and now...Iran". @tagesspiegel.de writes "New war in the Middle East".

This is an excellent @propublica.org long read on one of the most dangerous men in the U.S.: Russell Vought.

Jamil Smith: "If regret does not compel responsibility, it amounts to little more than moral convenience, a way to soothe conscience while leaving power & consequence unchanged. If they are truly sorry for supporting Trump, they must do more than just say so." Excellent piece! tinyurl.com/ytncf5u3

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

President Trump rescinded his Board of Peace invitation to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. At Davos, Carney said a new assertiveness by the U.S. and other superpowers meant that the rules-based international order was over.

Column: For all the oxygen President Trump seemed to suck up high in the mountains, he may not have had the biggest impact in Davos, Switzerland. That distinction belongs to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Trump's Board of Peace combines the scaminess of Trump University, the membership rules of Mar-a-Lago, and the spirit of Trump’s newfound interest in imperialism. It is also one of the greatest bait-and-switches in diplomatic history. www.telos.news/p/the-humili...

The National Park Service has taken down an exhibit on slavery at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, the Interior Department said on Thursday, following President Trump’s directive to remove materials that promote “corrosive ideology.”

Several big companies and investment firms are part of the new American TikTok. Many have ties to one another and President Trump. Here's what to know about who owns TikTok in the U.S.

Politicians from across Britain’s political spectrum united on Friday to condemn claims made by President Trump that NATO troops had stayed “a little off the front lines” during the war in Afghanistan. Britain lost 457 soldiers during two decades of fighting in Afghanistan.

By design! Trump is in office to solve the problems of autocrats. Wrecking America so thoroughly it will take generations to recover and clearing way for dedollarization is part of this.

BREAKING President Trump says he will not be imposing tariffs as planned on February 1st due to a meeting he had with the Secretary General of NATO. Unclear what this framework is that he’s referring to.
