Why do Norwegians excel in winter sports?🤔
Scenery from the Norwegian mountains today.
New England/Vermont did very good too! Ben Ogden brings a lot of fun into the xc skiing💪 And I have to congratulate with last nights gold in ice hockey - I know that’s one of the most important events for the US.
🤷♂️
So we are here now. The spoiled little child didn’t get the medal he wanted so much, so he goes down the road of venegance. When sanity obviously don’t work any more, we in the Nordics better destill the best of our Viking gens & the Finnish Sisu. End of dialouge, time for tough decisions in Europe.
And people still ask why Trump didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize…🤷♂️
Now he’s tariffing Norway - and other European & NATO countries for strengthening arctic sequrity - but not Russia for attacking 🇺🇦.
But he forgot the tariffs are paid by 🇺🇸 businesses and ordinary people.

Zelenskyj & wife visiting Norway today.
Prime Minister Støre of 🇳🇴: «Norway stands with Ukraine in the desire for a lasting and just peace, as the Ukrainian people deserve.»
Norway gives additional NOK 1.5bn to ensure energy and heat in 🇺🇦 the coming winter.

The FIS Board decided today that skiers from Russia and Belarussia will not be allowed to participate in the Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina🇮🇹2026.
The 🇷🇺 Cross Country leader blames the Norwegians and the other Scandinavians for the decision.
Which I’m very proud of!

No, I’m just a regular Norwegian. But the whole of 🇳🇴 supports 🇺🇦, 100% of the elected parliament backs the decision to give USD8.5 bn in support to 🇺🇦 in 2025 and 2026. Even the Communists. We got back 100% of our land after WWII and hope the same will happen for 🇺🇦. Imperativ for European security.
The Noble Peace Prize is given by a Norwegian non political commitee. Take a look at our borders on a map; you’ll see that we up north have a common border with 🇷🇺. I guess we won’t give any peace prize to a Putin appeaser until hell freezes over. 🇳🇴 was occupied by the Nazis for 61 months during WW2.
Nobel’s Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado 🇻🇪.
No prize to Trump: What did I tell you guys?🤷♂️
Reason 1: Candidate&reason must be delivered by 31. January
Reason 2: Candidate need to be an actual peace person, not an appeaser of the aggressor
🇳🇴 getting ready for tariffs

Norway sends materials and personell to support drone defence in Denmark during EU summit wednesday.
Norway is not a member of EU, but Denmark asked for help.
Norwegian Minister of Defence: The security of Denmark is also the security of Norway. 👏

Several unknown drones spotted over NATO air base in Norway (Ørland Air Base). The usual suspect…🤷♂️

Several US🇺🇸 P-8 Poseidon Surveillance planes moved from northern Norway to Oslo. Looks like NATO wants to have better control of what’s happening in the Baltic Sea.

Anybody know if this is true?
My sister is married to an Englishman, and he only know the Norwegian swear words…😎
Norwegian government: Russian fighter jets have violated airspace over Finnmark (🇳🇴’s most northern province) 3 times so far in 2025.
-They know exactly what they are doing.
10 yrs since last violation.

Motherfucking wind farms…
3 Russian fighter jets crossed into Estish airspace for 12 min today. EU: «more sanctions & political pressure needed». Tyrkie in similar situation on 24th Nov 2015: Shot down the Russian Sukhoj Su-24 jet on the border between 🇹🇷 and Syria. Enough talk - time to learn from 🇹🇷 www.vg.no/i/XjPwbg?utm...

Russia accuses Norway of using arms supplies for 🇺🇦 for its own enrichment. Look who’s talking - supporting 🇺🇦 is a simple choice when 🇷🇺 abducts 20000 children and bombs hospitals and private neighborhoods. 61 months under Nazi rule in WW2 taught us a lesson about what is moral right and solidarity.
FBI Patel says he’ll meet Charlie Kirk in Valhalla, which is the hall of the slain warriors in Norse mythology, where they feast, drink, and fight under leadership of Odin, preparing for the Ragnarök (end of the world). The Valkyries will pick neither Kirk nor Patel, they picked my pagan ancestors.
Russia attacked Poland🇵🇱 - and NATO - with at least 19 drones last night. 4 days after Trump says he will reduce military support for the Baltics. Doesn’t take a genius to understand what’s happening.
Full «crises» in Europe due to these 19 UAVs. Think about 🇺🇦, they received 431 UAVs the same night.
Anybody wondering what a Viking Beserker might have looked like? No need to wonder anymore - my fellow 🇳🇴 countryman Erling Haaland fits the profile! Totally unstoppable yesterday - 5 goals against Moldova. Only problem is that Manchester City meets Man Utd on sunday😱 www.thesun.co.uk/sport/366411...
Seems like they already had the opportunity

Norway and the US successfully tested a new precision weapon in the Norwegian Sea. 4 🇳🇴 F-35 fighters, a 🇳🇴 P-8 Poseidon patrol aircraft, and a 🇺🇸 B-2 Spirit stealth bomber teamed up in a long-range maritime strike exercise. Reinforced defense cooperation in the High North? www.vg.no/i/yEaOj2?utm...
During the military exercise Arctic Light 2025 taking place in Greenland this September, Danish🇩🇰 forces will train alongside personnel and weapon systems from 🇫🇷, 🇩🇪, 🇸🇪, and 🇳🇴. More than 550 soldiers expected to take part.
No 🇺🇸 soldiers invited. Howcome?…🤷♂️

The Norwegian navy 🇳🇴 will procure at least 5 new war ships from the UK 🇬🇧 in a £10 bn deal.
The agreement to provide Type 26 frigates will be the UK’s biggest ever warship export deal by value.
🇫🇷🇩🇪🇺🇸 alternative vendors. I guess the 🇺🇸 couldn’t be trusted a deal.
