The MAGA cruiseskip "Silver Dawn" will visit Norway: Bergen, Ålesund, Trondheim, Åndalsnes, Olden and Vik before going to Copenhagen. We had that kind of people visiting in 1940. Suggestions for banners: "Never Again - Fascist not welcome" "Make America Go Away" Any other suggestions*

Ukraine’s interests are our interests. They are inseparable. This is why we will continue to stand firmly by Ukraine in the negotiations ahead. A central point is the question of financing for Ukraine including the use of the immobilised Russian sovereign assets.

Ukraine Peace: Appeasement is the policy of acceding to the demands of a hostile nation in the hope of maintaining peace. This is now US policy. Chamberlain did the same in 1938 where he had gave Hitler large parts of Czechoslovakia. He proclaimed "Peace for our time" One year later WW2 broke out.

When asked why Trump is so bizarrely loyal to Putin, I say we'll probably never know. He has an affinity for dictators as an aspiring one himself. Putin helped him get elected so can't be bad. Etc. But considering his lifestyle and the KGB's practices, it would be shocking if he *wasn't* cultivated.

Alt for four images:

1. A person in a black robe and a tall brown felt hat stands facing a line of riot police holding shields labeled “Polis.” The person is being sprayed with pepper spray, and the air is filled with mist and debris. The person wears a gas mask and stands with a composed posture amid the chaos.
2. The same person in black robes and a tall brown felt hat stands calmly with arms folded while being sprayed with pepper spray by riot police. The individual wears a gas mask and stands on a wet street littered with water bottles. A line of police in helmets and shields labeled “Polis” stands in the background.
3. A person wearing a black robe, gas mask, and tall brown felt hat stands with arms outstretched in front of a row of riot police. The police hold transparent shields marked “Polis” and “Çevik Kuvvet.” Smoke fills the air, and the scene is illuminated by strong overhead lights.
4. A similar scene shows the same person in a dramatic pose with arms wide open and head tilted back, wearing the same attire. Smoke surrounds the area, and the line of riot police with shields labeled “Polis” and “Çevik Kuvvet” remains in the background. Debris is scattered on the ground.
