Tesla model Y is once again th bestseller in Norway.
BUT:
- it is down 40% compared to same month last year, despite it is an upgraded version. Tesla is also down 40% for first quarter compared to 2024.
Tesla is slowly loosing its grip.

The UK would now want to rejoin the EU by 55% to 33%

Removing those that don’t know - that’s a 62.5% to 37.5% breakdown.

Owners of Tesla shares should sack the CEO. He is obviously spending more time elswhere, working for others, while stocks are sliding.

This is of course reason good enough for sacking. This is not political. It is just due to "work performance".

If Trump take Greenland an Canada, and Russia or The US take, buy, or devide The Svalbard arcepelago between them, then Putin and Trump have full control over the Arctic ocean, and the Geopolitics of the north are settled by the two imperialistic nations.

Europes To Do List:
Bild own military industri capasity, to replace US planes, boats, munition.
Build communication alternatives to GSM, Google, Starlink and american sattelites.
Stop trade in USD, demand EUR. No intelligence sharing. Not safe.
This just for starters.

The President of USA is no longer "the leader of the free world", simply becuse The United States of America no longer are a free country.

Trump just praised the Norwegian School system, along with the Swedish and Danish.
That's good. It probably means he like the Socialist ideas, the woke methods, the emphasis on DEI values that is taught here?
The system that educate children proper behaviour in case they ever should beome leaders.

It looks like we didn't manage to hold Russia out anymore. The Amarians didn't want to stay in anymore. And surely it sounds like Kanzler Merz have decided that Germany are not going to be kept down anymor.

Should Europe come together and build its own nuclear force, should Germany build its own, or should we all ask the French and The Brits jointly to protect us?

Trump and Putin are deviding the Arctic between them as a bonus. So far Denmark have the EU to help them. Norway, not member of EU, have noone to defend their interests in the high north. Jan Mayen and Svalbard are Norwegian with a big chunk of the Arctic waters.

And it is only the Americans that can save us from the Americans. Europe is in the hands of the Americans that are willing and able to put up the fight for all of us. Much like we Europeans are counting on the Ukrainians fighting for us on the battlefield. We owe you everything.
This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Morten Myksvoll, politisk kommentator i BT kort og fyndig om norsk politikk. Han er kanskjel litt snill mot Støre og Solberg. Dei vil ikkje berre at det skal vere slik frametter, dei seier at vi helst ikkje skal snakke om temaet, det vil berre skape usemje og splitting i folket.
Europa arrangerer krisemøte om tryggleiken vår, og Noreg meiner det er best å ikkje vere med. Danmark kan representere oss. Leiarane for våre to største parti meiner at slik skal det vere framover også. Det er heilt utruleg.

Dette blir Stoltenbergs store test. Eg forventer eit taktskifte i norsk Ukraina-støtte.
Kan håpe at den nye finansministeren ikkje vil vere krigsprofitør. Vedum sette Noreg først, også når det handla om krigen i Ukraina.
Norway has hoarded its wartime windfall while Ukraine fights for Europe's future — it's time to pay up.

Is Donald Trump is trying to cansel the treaty confirming the purchase of Danish West Indies in which the United States also recognized Denmark's control over Greenland? The Treaty has since 1917 been an organized, unincorporated United States territory, now called US Virgin Islands.
