Godt sagt om handel av Glenn Agung Hole i DN: «Trumps siste tollutspill – mot EU og Apple – er ikke økonomisk politikk. Han bruker handel som pressmiddel, ikke for å beskytte amerikansk industri, men for å fremtvinge ettergivenhet.» www.dn.no/innlegg/toll...

Trump gjør handel til våpen
Trumps siste tollutspill – mot EU og Apple – er ikke økonomisk politikk. Han bruker handel som pressmiddel, ikke for å beskytte amerikansk industri, men for å fremtvinge ettergivenhet.

Of the 79 acts incorporated into the EEA Agreement today, 28 were on financial services. Several acts are adopted by the EU every year on financial services, regulating new aspects or amending rules. The EEA/EFTA-states and the EU work closely to facilitate incorporation of new acts.

Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year. The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers.

Just arrived in Paris for crucial talks. Europe’s security is at a turning point. Yes, it is about Ukraine—but it is also about us. We need an urgency mindset. We need a surge in defense. And we need both of them now.

Det vet vi foreløpig ikke ettersom det ikke er noen sak på bordet. Vårt utgangspunkt er at integrasjonen gjennom EØS er tilstrekkelig også denne gangen. Men det er et politisk spørsmål som gjenstår å avklare.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
