  • USA has become the enemy of democracy, NATO and traditional allies. But I’m sure EU and UK will be happy to strengthen relations, trade and even defense cooperation.
    It may not be as convenient as having a big neighboring friend, but hopefully dampen the cost to Canada, while USA will have no such opportunities that I can see.
    As long as this continues, it means the USA is an enemy, not just Trump and his administration, but USA as a whole.

    I recommend that Canada block all oil exports to USA, this will increase gas prices at the pump, and Americans hate that.


  • Our (Denmark) defense minister Troels Lund Poulsen just stated that this will. have significant impact on Ukraine’s ability to defend itself.

    OK that’s true, but how was this outcome not viewed as extremely likely already when Trump was elected?
    It’s a bit late to act surprised now, we had hoped it wouldn’t get to this, but everybody with more than 2 brain cells absolutely 100% expected this could happen.

    At least it looks like Europe and Canada is taking this serious, and has prepared to increase aid for the past 2 weeks. But it should have been at least the past ½ year!!!

    USA can currently not be considered an ally of Europe, or even NATO, and they are traitors to democracy. This is NOT just Trump, it is America as a whole!!!





  • The leader of the Greens, who are currently polling at 2.7%, reiterated their proposal that Norway should pledge €85.5 billion to Ukraine.

    This is unlikely to go through, but it’s very nice to see the green pushing boundaries, that absolutely can be pushed if there’s a political will to do it.
    That amount is HUGE!! And alone would almost match USA total contribution throughout the war, both civil and militarily.

    Norway is among the largest donors to Ukraine. We have so far committed at least NOK 167 billion (€14.7 billion) in support until 2030,

    So Norway has already decided to give more than they did in the past.

    We currently have a proposal in the Storting to increase support by 100 billion Norwegian kroner this year," Sveinung Rotevatn, deputy chair and responsible for financial policy in the Liberal Party, told Euractiv.

    This is equivalent to €8.6 billion, this is a very big donation when seen per capita, although Norway is very rich, Norway is still a relatively small country.
