Geopolitics, history and culture; but mostly focuses my online time on the RU invasion of Ukraine due to its extreme importance. A Norwegian Social Democrat.


Hezbollah launched a surface-to-sea missile at a British warship off the coast of Lebanon, mistaking it for an Israeli ship, causing damage to the vessel, Saudi Al-Hadath reports. Earlier today, Hezbollah said it launched a cruise missile at an Israeli warship 68 nautical miles off the Lebanese coast.


I think the US should take over the Strait of Hormuz and charge every European vessel a steep “defense fee” to transit. If they don’t pay, they don’t get to use it. Why should Europeans benefit from American protection for free when they refuse to lift a finger to pacify Iran?



Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.


#Russia’s key Baltic port of Ust-Luga resumed crude loading after days of disruptions amid multiple Ukrainian drone attacks in the region. The Jewel, an Aframax-class vessel, started a cargo loading on Saturday, according to shipping information seen by Bloomberg News. Loadings at Ust-Luga, a key oil-export outlet in Russia’s west, stopped at the end of March as Ukraine stepped up attacks on energy infrastructure along the Baltic coast. #oott bloomberg.com/news/articles/…







After 9/11 I had European friends confused that we would spend time, money and effort digging up the bodies at Ground Zero. What's the point, they said. But it's what Americans (and, ahem, Israelis) do. We love life, we care about our dead, and we don't leave anyone behind.



Novorossiysk port is burning heavily tonight after Ukrainian drone strikes. The Ukrainians are trying to destroy the oil terminal there.

The Novorossiysk port should be destroyed. Measures are being taken to expedite this process. The port is a sponsor of terrorism.
