Israel - Iran conflict

In American math, 42% is better than Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre current approval rating of 35%.

Just imagine what the rest of the world thinks of that??? Wait that’s right, no one gives a fuck.

You do realize that you’d be speaking German or Russian if it weren’t for the United States. No chance the Brits would have liberated Norway without us.

No chance of you liberating Norway or anyone else if the UK and allies hadn’t withstood the Nazi onslaught for two years before the US turned up.
Just to put it in perspective NZ suffered 0.69% of casualties, the US 0.30%.
You may wish to take stock of US exceptionalism.

Yes but we can get rid of him any day, if the Storting (Parliament) raise a “Vote of No Confidence”. In any caser there is an election due in Sept. He may, or may not be PM after that.

In the “Westminster System of Government” the Head of State and Head of Government are separated. Neither is elected in direct election.

In Norway the General election is selecting MPs representing the different constituencies. They are from multiple Parties, with a wide range of political agendas, from the far left (Red Party) to the far right (Progressive Part)

The PM is selected by (usually) the largest party in a coalition of two or more parties and appointed by the Head of State (The King)

If the PM no longer represent the majority in the Storting he may form a new coalition, or be replaced with a PM from another coalition of parties.

PS> At the moment Jonas Gahr Støre leads a minority Labour Party Government, since their coalition partners, the Center Party, quit over a disagreement about the agreement with EU about electric power shearing.(among others).

PPS> It is all very civilised; disagree about political subjects, but have a cup of coffee at Stortingskafeen together after the debate.

Some say USA & Israel have become rogue nations. Have they??

Vice President JD Vance: ‘We’re not at war with Iran"

no matter how thin He slices it, it’s still baloney

Now I know!!! .

The planes with 30 000 pounds of explosives were on a peacefull and confidence/trust building mission delivering bbq spices and chicken wings to hungry Iranians . Tey must be effing ecstatic with joy with US gesture of friendship.

Heard it on the grapevine the 60% material was deposited in russian fort knox for safe keeping before the US strike.

Interesting.

You posted a meme that insinuated killing the President of the United States of America. How funny! Why dont you try the same for your beloved countries of Singapore or against the King of Norway? You are a clown, Oddball.

Two posts for our friend Giz and he gets flagged. His first post was thoughtful and arguably on point… didn’t see his second.

I know you have been brainwashed to believe this, but do you actually BELIVE this crap, now that you are able to learn facts?? (If you want to, that is)
Norway was not liberated by the US, it was liberated by the fact that the war in Europe was won by the ALLIED nations, not US alone

The biggest sacrifice was not by US, Britain or anybody fighting on the Western front, It was won on the Eastern front, by the Soviets Union. (No matter what you have been told all your life)

Just at the “Battle of Stalingrad” there were more divisions involved on both sides than Eisenhower ever had under his command at any time, incl. the Normandie Landing.

There were no American forces in Norway in May 1945. Norwegian resistance fighter had prepared for this for some time and, together with Norwegian forces stationed in Sweden, they disarmed the Germans already on 7th May.

An Allied delegation, lead by a British General, arrived on 8th May to accept the formal surrender of the German occupying force.
This delegation also incl. representatives from the US and the Norwegian Government in exile, stationed in London

PS> Norwegian and Soviet forced had already liberated parts of Finnmark in Oct. 1944. Not an American in sight.

Fundamentslist Presbyterians went on a rampage today in downtown Omaha. They stand accused of using black pepper on casseroles at several church lunches and a possible use of the S-word in one case.

…Let’s at least be honest about which group’s radical factions are causing an overwhelming majority of the problems.
Radical Amish, all hopped up on apple juice and warm cornbread threatened to close the road that leads to the Cracker Barrel today.

Were you this soggy-and-hard-to-light during the 500+ drone strikes Obama launched against 3 different nations?
Comport yourself.

Why are You Dr.Bugge for God’s sake wasting time for this historical genius??
If his ignorance could fly He would fly like a space shuttle. 10 more years and the history will be rewritten. You will be dead I will be dead . Who cares ?? :wink: . I do not , just read the stuff rolling with laughter. :wink:

A day w/o good laugh is a day lost .Remember. :wink:

This Iranian bombing is just like when Obama bombed Syria, when Obama bombed Libya & Biden authorized our bombs, our satellites & our missle guidance systems to be used to kill Russians on Russia soil, I was against all of them. But “if” I posted the address/community where Obama or Biden was from, asking Syria, Libya or Russia to kill Americans in these areas first I would have been suspended or banned from gCaptain Forum & rightly so. Disgusting. Shame on Ombugge for him reposting that garbage & shame on steamer & tengineer1 for playing D for him. Now they’re flagging commenters (@Gizmonte) for calling them out on it. I suspected this group was happy when Corey Comperatore was murdered & now I know I was correct. They no longer even try to pretend to be against the political violence & wishing death of their fellow Americans.

Yes I can agree that Presbyterians using the S-word while throwing black pepper and casseroles at church lunches are dangerous. They should be deported, no matter where they came from.

The Amish would be harder to find a place for. Who would want to take in somebody who think they life in the 19th century still? Even South Sudan will have problem with those.

Have some your own home made ideas here figured 31 years ago . :wink:

I’m just waiting for Iran to tweet a simple message of “too late” just before they test a nuke in the desert (their own) like Kim likes to do to thumb their nose at us… that… would be entertaining to see how the Keystone Kops respond to that.

Good luck with that. They wanted to stop Israel and the US from bombing their nuclear sites and critical infrastructure too and we’ve seen how that has played out.

That is exactly the problem. The coddling and soft dealing with them is why:

You are correct. This is what I know. Why @Gizmonte second post was flagged is beyond me? Ombugge & his defense team were either cheering for death to the 150 employees, 40 Secret Service Agents, the potus, his wife & children & all their guests deaths at the hand of Iranian terrorists at Mara Largo or they were making a joke of it? I’m glad no Republicans made such evil comments about Obama & Biden when they were in office. If any of them did, I would have been in favor of them being suspended or banned. Sicking Ombugge & his defense team thinks such political violence rhetoric is appropriate on a maritime forum. WTF?

You see Dr.Bugge .

You have just learned from " We are keen students of history and believe in life long learning " = NZ

that :

So w/o your forum friends help and sacrifice You would most probably speak German - a very optimistic view, as I would rather expect leaving the planet through a chimney joining Mandeleyev table or You would speak Russian. Terrible.

I suspect the bloke took a coach tour through your country too, with a company that prides itself on the standard of educational content that it provides.

But can You believe it ??.

I had been living for 30 odd years behind the iron curtain, because Churchil sold us out to Stalin like many others but I could stiil use my native language although I have learned some Russian too, as it was not prudent not to know the language of your enemy .

But lucky You Dr.Bugge you were not in the path of the red army going after Germans with great fury and vengeance. You were saved by Kiwis .
You do not even imagine how I envy you this privilage.

Now I understand why ruskies are not invited for 8th may celebrations of victory over Germany by the Allies.

According to company, that prides itself on the standard of educational content that it provides, they were not fighting this war and we were busy eating Jews for breakfast every day.

:winking_face_with_tonge

In case You were busy with some other history geniuses here I took the liberty to glimpse at some easily available data what pls find below.

Cracked some figures and indeed we were lucky not to learn German .
