Yes the “Oil fund” will fill up faster, but the everyday cost for Norwegians is suffering, just like everywhere else.
Higher prices for everything because of higher transport cost applies equally here as in other countries.
Gasoline prices in Norway is among the highest in the world:
THE TOP HAS BEEN REACHED: If the war in the Middle East continues, we could soon see much higher prices than this. The photo was taken in Jessheim at the beginning of this week. Photo: Broom
That is the price per ltr. in NOK.
That is even though Norway is a net exporter of crude oil, gas and petroleum products.
PS: Diesel cost more than Gasoline due to ban on import from Russia.
The various news outlets keep addressing the USN ‘escorting’ vessels through the SoH. They are likely picturing destroyers doing so, and this might be (partially) effective if the threat were missiles and drones, or even submarines.
But if the threat is from any of the mines that Iran might have already laid in the SoH, then mine sweeping and cleared channels are the only way to reduce or alleviate the threat. Unfortunately, the USN has not maintained any significant mine sweeping or mine clearance capability, and those other “allies” with this capability weren’t consulted or invited to Trump’s War, so I wouldn’t expect any assistance from them.
Yes, they have a mission module for that purpose, and there may be three of them in the region now. I would not call it a ‘significant” capability, but perhaps I will be happily proven wrong.
Trump wants to call this war off. Twice since last June sit-down negotiations were betrayed by Trump. Now because things are not going well for US and Israel he wants it to just stop. Imagine if Japan called for a ceasefire two weeks after bombing Pearl Harbour. What would Roosevelt have said. “yeah sure, we can stop and you can sneak attack again and we can have another day of infamy”.
Sorry Hornblower. What I mean by not going well is the destruction of Irans capability to return fire. If you listen to trumps rhetoric “it will be all over in a few days, they are done” etc. The US and Israel started this war and it is not going as to their expectations. They don’t care about civilian casualties.
It is demonstrably clear alias Hornblower does not understand , will not understand and is unwilling to understand .
The 72 hr war is the invention of US generals, who apparently had poor intel on Russian capabilities in utilizing ca 150 - 190 k army attacking Banderastan.
This poor intel applied also regarding the Ukrainian determination to fight back.
The nonsense picked mainly by British extremely russophobic main stream sewage media and propaganda tubes , which are experts in manufacturing lies.
Such lies are continuously promulgated and delivered to individuals , who as it appears are highly vulnerable to intensive industrial like brainwashing with above quote being perfect example of it.
Pathetic entertainment is the DJT Derangement syndrome conversations from the ignorant, feckless Eurotrash Islamicized sycophants of the dying continent of Europe and their Marxist-globalist lickspittle associates in the US. Trump is playing 3-D Chess, rearranging the world order from the globalist EU-Communist one to something heralding back to a time of strong western sovereign nations. He is castrating China, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran and their terrorist proxies who have destabilized the region and the world for 47 years and the Elitist EU and US Leftist self exterminating Islamist Marxist supporters are quite upset and know not what to do. A pity for the walking dead replaced population of Europe in particular; such a shame and an unncessary one at that, but the left so hates Western civilization, it had to come to DJT FINALLY doing what had to be done.
. Impeachment forecasts are also interesting .
