Problemstillingen er litt rotete.
1. Jeg støtter ikke en VM-boikott nå.
2. Dersom Trump innfører toll på norske varer på 15+10+15% = 40 prosent fra 1. juni, bør vi vurdere det.
3. Dersom USA invaderer Grønland, bør vi definitivt boikotte. www.vg.no/sport/i/ExpM...
Statsminister Støre om VM-boikott: – Det er jeg imot
USA-ekspert mener Europa bør vokte seg for boikott av fotball-VM. Statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre sier det er et «svært dårlig» virkemiddel.

What European leaders have been most nervous about is the US pulling back on NATO or Ukraine… but how can Europe trust the US will come to its defense if its trying to seize territory from a NATO country. They can’t. So why cave to keep a security commitment that is not real. 6/

Noko av det mest irriterande med "realistar" (og det er mykje) er at dei er så dårlege på realpolitikk. Svakheit overfor ei bølle er ikkje realpolitikk, det er ei oppskrift på å bli utsletta. Og å bli utsletta er ikkje i vår nasjonale interesse, synest eg.

Trump overtar nok Grønland. Det må fordømmes – og så glemmes (+)
Øst-Grønland ble okkupert av norske fangstmenn, to ganger. Det glemmer vi helst – slik vi raskt bør glemme en amerikansk annektering av Grønland, av realpolitiske grunner.

The Nordics are going all in on Greenland.

Norway sent two (2) guys and the Swedish guys are unarmed

Still, both are better than the non-existing contribution from Finland

"Frykten for å irritere Trump og svekke den amerikanske «sikkerhetsgarantien» ytterligere er åpenbart fullstendig irrasjonell, det nytter ikke å piske en død hest."
You know the word has changed when the former Chief of Defense of Norway writes in our leading business newspaper that the US president is a “useful idiot”.

His piece today “Farewell to NATO” is a warning to sane Americans that the friends of the US is about to leave them

Ryktene om at alliansen fortsatt er i live er sterkt overdrevet.

"Når det gjelder de mer alvorlige lovbruddene er tallene enda mer overraskende:

Antall siktelser for vold blir mer enn halvert.
Antall siktelser for ran og alvorlige seksuallovbrudd synker med nesten 70 prosent."
30 prosent nedgang i ungdomskriminalitet
Inntrykket av en bølge av barnekriminalitet stemmer dårlig med virkeligheten, ifølge SSB. – Det endrer ikke alvoret, mener leder for regjeringens ekspertutvalg, Knut Storberget.

Det er et stadig mer realistisk scenario med en forestående amerikansk annektering av Grønland. Skulle dét skje, er det vanskelig å se for seg at NATO kan fortsette i dagens form. Det vil være forferdelig naivt å tro at ikke det vil sette Svalbard i stor fare for en lignende russisk aggresjon.

Ellers fornuftige folk påstår at sikkerhetsgarantier fra denne mannen er en gamechanger, og mange vil at Ukraina skal gi fra seg land for å få dem. Men de er null verdt. Putin kan bare ringe. Den eneste troverdige sikkerhetsgarantien er "boots on the ground".
Trump on a report that Ukraine tried to strike Putin's residence: "I don't like it. It's not good. I heard about it this morning. You know who told me about it? President Putin told me about it ... I was very angry about it."

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵

Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

It looks like Russia has sunk some vessels/barges by the pier of Novorossiysk so that Ukrainian naval drones would not be able to enter the port.

The catch is that the remains of the Russian Black Sea Fleet have now barricaded themselves inside the port and cannot get out.

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering.

Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed.

At least two suspects are in custody.

And the thing is, there's little cost to insulting the EU. Elon Musk doesn't go after the Chinese Communist Party because doing so would destroy his business. But Europe has independent courts and checks and balances and it's not a dictatorship so he can send mean tweets with little consequence

Jon Gelius på Dagsrevyen nå stiller spørsmål til norsk opprustning som om han jpbbet for russisk TV, eller var en del av den russisk-sponsede "fredsbevegelsen" på 80-tallet: "Bidrar ikke Norge nå til et opprustingskapløp?" Hvordan sikrer dere at denne satsingen ikke fører til økt spenning?"

USA styres nå av en kriminell bande av mentale tenåringer som tror verden er et dataspill.
"Even if the U.S. were at war with the traffickers, an order to kill all the boat’s occupants if they were no longer able to fight 'would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime,' said Huntley, now director of the national security law program at Georgetown Law."
SCOOP: For the Trump admin's Sept. 2 strike targeting 11 men on a boat suspected of ferrying drugs, SecDef Hegseth gave an order, officials say, to kill them all. When two men were still alive, orders were given to strike again, finishing them off.

What Trump has made me realise is how much the post-Cold War relationship hinged on shared values rather than shared interests. Trump is illustrating how, whether on Ukraine and Gaza, our interests diverge and, absent those values, there's not much holding us together.
