they also feel like there is no country as good as Norway and everyone must really want to be Norwegian.
I haven’t experienced that in the many years I’ve lived here. It is a humble group of people, seems to me. They also have tons of love for the other Scandinavian countries. You paint a picture of stuck up nationalists, and that’s pretty far from the truth.
That is a very broad brush.

Yeah the treaty history between USA and Russia is complex. Russia stopped participating a few years ago in the recent version of START. Said they’d still maintain warhead numbers though.
What? I’m not saying anything like that. But… if you’re offering, I wouldn’t mind checking out that bridge.
That may be; I know nothing. But somebody just posted something like “Jews of lemmy, how is your family on Israel / Gaza?” And most said their families were all very pro Israeli government / Zionist. It sounded a lot like most were complicit.
Here it is, and it is a bit better than when I saw it first, but still…
So like 5 theherk sex units.
Yeah true. That’s actually a good point.
I don’t disagree with either of you but there is something ironic about what you said.
Not terrible people. At least the owner / one of the operators is a pretty awesome man.
There are three voting conditions. Red, blue, no vote (generally, discounting third parties). That means non vote is half as impactful as an opposite vote. So they are about half as guilty.
Like Liz Truss to the queen.
Unfortunately, it seems we’re reaping what we sow by switching from Keynesian to Neoliberal economics. It was going ok when the demand side had money to spend. We’ve had several decades of paying for that now.
The knock on effects of substantial infrastructure interruptions like this can have massive impacts that snowball aggressively. Not saying you’re wrong, but it is nothing to scoff at. Things like this do have the potential to severely change the geopolitical landscape.
That there is never a good reason to comply is almost certainly objectively true, for one has no leverage to force compliance with the relief offered for such compliance. However, I suspect that is nearly an impossible thing to reason through under duress.
It is like saying there is no good reason to talk when getting water boarded. Well yeah, but like… good luck with holding fast while drowning.
Assets don’t have to have be in on it intentionally. A tank is an asset. A forest at the border can be an asset. But to be an agent takes volition and consensual involvement.
This is so stupid. He is an asset, whether intentionally or not. Russian media is having a heyday with him. Whether he is an “agent” or not remains ambiguous, but he is absolutely an “asset” to them.
Oh I’m American; I’m an immigrant here. I’m no expert on it. I’ve just lived here for several years and not witnessed that. That said, I’m probably in a bubble.
