@DagOddmund Er nok helt enkelt fordi veldig få svarer at de vil stemme på FOR. Det store flertallet i Norge støtter helt enkelt Ukrainas kamp for frihet, og ikke Russlands brutale krigsovergrep og diktatur. FOR er finansiert av Russland. Og vi folket er ikke dummere enn at vi skjønner det.

@kristinclemet Typisk Høyre om dagen: Null slagord, null substans, men masse klingklang.

Blir så forvirra av å høre Høyre og Nikolai Astrup i Dax18 nå. Først sier han at regjeringas politikk for mer konkurranse i dagligvarebransjen bare er «luft», så i neste setning sier han at tiltak regjeringa foreslår er «svært potent» (og at Høyre derfor er mot). #dax18

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.
So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki
It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers. South Korea, with which we have a trade agreement, is not charging a 50% tariff on U.S. exports. Nor is the EU charging a 39% tariff.

@rochowanski @AzorInfo Is it not folly to think you can ever have reciprocity and confidence-building with a semi-totalitarian Russian regime that has a track-record of deviousness and breaking promises?
English

@AzorInfo Kindergarten-level sophistry.... But I'll bite: disarmament is the best proven strategy for peace, so yeah, that should be the goal again. If it's done with reciprocity, confidence-building and eventually integration.
English

@rochowanski @AzorInfo Is the premise here that you think Putin will allow for disarmament of Russia? It seems based on some AI hallucinating a parallell and completely different world than the one we actually inhabit.

🚨Trump and Vance, two of the laziest grifters on the fucking planet teeing off on Zelensky in a gaslighting, propaganda performance for the ages.
This is nuclear disrespect for Ukraine, their sacrifice and war dead.
These two dickheads have to keep the Ukraine hate train moving forward for their braindead base and Putin so they decided to piss on Ukraine on National TV.
#SlavaUkraïni. More than ever.

BOOM! Ukrainian President Zelensky just fact-checked Trump like never before! "No, Mr. Trump, it was you in 2016!" Watching Trump sit there looking depleted and embarrassed is a reminder that the truth always prevails.
JD Vance and Trump are having an unprecedented meltdown in the Oval Office—what a sight! It's a clear display of their pathetic weakness. America deserves better than this chaos! Trump only cares about saving Vladimir Putin's life.
Did anyone count how many times Trump mentioned Biden?

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
Alex Vindman 🇺🇸@AVindman
There has never been anything like this. Trump and Vance look like children talking about accommodating Putin. Zelensky holds his ground and defends his nation… and the free world.

Trump and Vance have declared themselves to be on Russia's side in the Russo-Ukraine war. This is a catastrophic mistake for America's national security. And let's be clear: Trump and Vance now personally own that policy. It is not the view of a majority of Americans of either or no political party.

This is utterly repulsive!
Trump and Vance just tried to humiliate Zelensky live on American TV, smugly demanding gratitude while openly mocking him like playground bullies counting favors. My respect for Zelensky—and my embarrassment as an American—just surged off the charts. I’m beyond disgusted!”
English

Vance and Trump in the Oval Office. It’s the most disgraceful thing we have seen from any American president and VP ever. They are quite simply committing treason. They should be impeached and removed from office. Right away. #Ukraine #Zelensky #ZelenskyyWarHero

@elonmusk @KonstantinKisin When exactly did you, Elon Musk, run for office?
English

@KonstantinKisin You’re losing credibility with this.
Either Zelensky holds an election to prove that he represents the will of the people or he is a dictator.

Other lies about Ukraine:
No, Zelensky hasn't banned "opposition parties". He has banned certain opposition parties because they are openly pro-Russian. Britain banned the British Union of Fascists during WW2 in exactly the same way. America went further and rounded up Japanese Americans and threw them into internment camps.
No, Zelensky hasn't suspended "independent media". He has suspended pro-Russian media. Even Orwell, arguably the greatest defender of free speech of the 20th century, acknowledged the need for state restrictions on media during war. The idea that in WW2 we would allow pro-enemy propaganda on our airwaves is absurd.
There are many legitimate criticisms to be made of the way this war came about, the way both the Ukrainian and Western leadership have behaved and the failure to end this war when it became clear that Ukraine had done its best and lost.
But the spectacle of people sitting in warmth, comfort and plenty lying and misrepresenting a country and a people who are courageously fighting to defend their land against a bully is sickening and people who engage in this should be deeply ashamed.
They won't, of course, because to most of them the war in Ukraine isn't a real thing. It's just a topic for online click farming. The only silver lining is we're really finding out who's who.
