Norway's Oil Fund now holds over $2.1 trillion - the largest sovereign wealth fund on Earth. Built entirely from oil revenue that was saved, not spent. Syria could build something like it. The new Syria, a clean slate, a rare chance to build from the ground up. Iraq already has the wealth - one of the most oil-rich countries on Earth. But corruption, Iranian influence, and nepotism swallow it whole. The people never benefit. No one has actually built Iraq in twenty years. No one has tried. One country has nothing but a chance. The other has everything but the will.

@ColdBrief Been there once.What a wonderful people.

There is no royal family in Europe more down-to-earth than Norway's. I feel it in my bones every time I think of them. I was ten years old when our beloved King Olav V passed away. Like every other child in Oslo, I was allowed to stand before his casket and whisper a final goodbye. I still remember the hush, the candles, the sense that we had all lost someone who truly belonged to us. Because that's what he was - not a distant monarch, but our king. I don't know of another country in Europe where the royal family is so loved, so close to the hearts of ordinary people, as in Norway. And tonight, that closeness shines again. King Harald - together with Crown Prince Haakon, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, and Prince Sverre Magnus - is welcoming Team Norge to the Royal Palace. Our athletes, our pride, our flag-bearers, celebrated by the very family that has stood beside this nation through every joy and every sorrow. This is Norway. This is who we are. 🇳🇴

Norway lost the quarter-final. Last night over 100,000 filled Oslo anyway. No bitterness toward England. No blame. Just a nation standing together, proud of what its team became. Real patriotism doesn't split a country. It gathers one.

@AlbiriniBel Thank you for sharing. I hope so too 🙏🏻

@ColdBrief أعيش في النرويج منذ عشرة سنوات، فعلاً شعب محب وطيب ليس لديه فوقيه وبسيط جداً، واتمنى أن تكون سوريا مثل النرويج كعلاقة الحكومة مع الشعب بالمستقبل. 🇸🇾💚🇳🇴

@6am6om Truly 😳

@ColdBrief Huge difference . . 🤦🏻‍♀️🤭

@HayanMo2278 @Erling 😅

@ColdBrief @Erling Haaland💪

لستُ متأكدًا مما إذا كانت نجومية هالاند العالمية تصبّ في مصلحة الفيفا، أم أنه تجاوز المنظومة كلها بأسلوبه الخاص. إنه لاعب يعيد تعريف كرة القدم، داخل الملعب وخارجه.🌍⚽️

@abdalhadealani Thank you so much for your wonderful words 🙂

@ColdBrief Wish for the continued love and prosperity of Norway and its wonderful people.

@HoltMarius @UriksFredrik All ære til Berge, men tror ikke det var ham alle de tusenvis av barna ventet time etter time på – det var på Haaland.

@UriksFredrik Hvorfor gir du kun hat til Haaland men ingenting til Berge? Det er ikke hans feil at flyet fra USA ble forsinket med 2timer og vis det ikke hadde skjedd så vet alle at Haaland hadde vært med på dette.

Many fans and supporters are feeling incredibly let down by #Haaland today. Ditching the national celebrations- and thousands of waiting children- to prioritize a vacation is not the "All for Norway" spirit many expected of him... 🇳🇴

Legend

@ColdBrief يستحقون كل الاحترام أصبحت احب هذا البلد الرائع بسببك

There is a version of me living my best life in Oslo right now, out in the streets celebrating the football team with the crowd, and I’m incredibly jealous of them. #Oslo #Norway

I don't think Oslo- or Norway as a whole- has witnessed anything like the electric energy filling the streets tonight! As Norway welcome our heroic football team home to celebrate this triumph, the atmosphere is nothing short of legendary! Honestly, the only real comparison that comes to mind is May 13, 1945. Just days after the German capitulation, a buzzing Oslo gathered to welcome Crown Prince Olav home! It was the moment captured in that iconic photograph: a 30-year-old Max Manus sitting in the front of an open-top car, Sten gun at the ready, while the Crown Prince reached out to a sea of ecstatic faces. Tonight, the weapons are gone, but that raw, collective heartbeat of a nation united in pure joy is exactly the same. What a night to be alive! 🇳🇴⚽️

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi has landed in Washington. It’ll be fascinating to watch the fallout and responses from Iraq's Shia political and paramilitary groups in the coming days...

Let's be honest about what this actually shows: not Norway versus Morocco, but Norwegian fans at home versus Moroccan immigrants in European cities! That's the whole trick. Swap the label and the argument collapses. Because this isn't Morocco. In Morocco, people poured into the streets to celebrate - even after losing to France in the semifinal. What you witnessed in London, Amsterdam and Paris didn't come out of Morocco. It came out of Europe's own segregated suburbs. And yes - we Norwegians drink, we party, we scream in anger and disappointment, we trash our own living rooms, and we can still handle an old-school fistfight. Nobody's pretending we're saints! But above all we are a proud people. We are proud of our athletes, and we try to carry ourselves with honor even when we lose. That's a choice, not a race. So don't hand me "Moroccan culture." If it were culture, you'd see it strongest in Casablanca and Rabat - and you don't! You see it in the banlieues, in the neglected quarters, in the places Europe built and then abandoned! What you're looking at isn't a nation's character. It's the price of segregation and failed integration - and that bill is European!

@venturecap42676 @MarioNawfal Not exactly. You're confusing France and England with the East. If we exclude Islamic Spain from the equation, the Vikings' relationship with the Levant and modern-day Turkey was defined by trade, not terror...

@MarioNawfal NotQuite, Norwegians are celebrating with a gestures that evokes terrorism reign their ancestors plagued Muslim shores with, which is un-tasteful the least. The other video is showing protestors striken by anguish over Gaza genocide ! an elevated civility and concern for humanity

🇳🇴🇲🇦 Here you can see the clear difference in how people in Norway and Morocco handle defeat. There is a huge cultural gap between the two Writer: Samuel

Better late than never. The IRGC’s network extends far beyond Iran’s borders. Coordinated international action is essential to counter its influence.
