Fools on the Flank. UK-Norway: right diagnosis, too weak medicine. Trump wants Greenland - Iceland, Jan Mayen, Svalbard follow. Britain can’t deter Washington. Neither can Oslo. Two smaller targets standing closer isn’t a counterweight. EU integration is arithmetic, not naivety. #EU #UK. 🇳🇴🇬🇧🇮🇸

Ukraine has shown remarkable restraint, but now needs to get serious about Russia’s electric grid. Russian oil is back on market, US sanctions rolled back. Proportional, legitimate. Europe will cheer. Russia’s grid is warfighting but made of glass. #Ukraine #EnergyWar #NAFO

Why not Cuba next week? 8,500 US troops already at Guantánamo. Venezuelan strike force still in Caribbean. Cuban military: aging Soviet equipment, no functioning navy, 89th global ranking. Rubio: “Havana should be concerned.” What’s the constraint exactly?

Might is right these days. The world is divided into spheres of interest: America, Russia, China. But what about Europe? A strong Norway in a strong Europe is our only hope. We need the EU 🇪🇺, and the EU 🇪🇺 needs us. Norway must become a member of the EU soon. #EU #Norway #NATO

Russia is weak, yet talks like an empire. But if “might makes right,” Europe could flip the script: Novgorod, Poland, Finland, Georgia, Siberia - all once conquered by Moscow. The danger isn’t just Russia attacking Europe. It’s Europe remembering how to play the same game. #Russia #Imperialism

6/ The bottom line: History suggests dramatic diplomatic revolutions create as many problems as they solve. Trading reliable democratic allies for an authoritarian regime that invaded its neighbor? That’s not realism - it’s a gamble with America’s future. 🇺🇸

030

Jan Brøgger 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @jan.brogger.no · 28/08/2025

5/ Today’s version faces even bigger problems: • Russia-China partnership is MUCH stronger than expected • Congress is pushing back with 500% tariffs on Russian oil buyers • European allies represent $1.3 trillion in annual trade • Putin has a track record of betraying partners

Jan Brøgger 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @jan.brogger.no · 28/08/2025

4/ But here’s the catch: The 1756 revolution worked short-term but collapsed quickly. Britain dumped Prussia after just 6 years. Why? Allies of convenience aren’t reliable when interests change.

120

Jan Brøgger 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @jan.brogger.no · 28/08/2025

3/ The parallels are striking: • Abandoning traditional allies ✓ • Pursuing “pragmatic” partnerships ✓ • Betting on a rival’s rival ✓ • Shocking the international system ✓

120

Jan Brøgger 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @jan.brogger.no · 28/08/2025

2/ Fast forward to 2025: Trump’s doing something similar. After 75 years of NATO partnership, he’s cozying up to Putin while alienating European allies. The goal? Split Russia from China by offering Moscow a “grand bargain.”

130

Jan Brøgger 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @jan.brogger.no · 28/08/2025

1/ In 1756, Britain ditched Austria (its longtime ally) to team up with Prussia, while France flipped from supporting Prussia to backing Austria. It was called the “Diplomatic Revolution” - a complete alliance reversal that shocked Europe.

Jan Brøgger 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @jan.brogger.no · 28/08/2025

Careful with your tone. European NATO can clearly see that Ukraine is winning. Russia is boxed in. Any Russian full mobilization and conscription activates NATOs Russian bordering countries to respond.

Ukraine is Europe’s army. Russia has no path to victory — only delay, destruction, and decline. Airspace is breached. Rail lines choked. Industry burns under relentless drone strikes. It’s time for Russia to withdraw. NATO watches in awe — and is ready to match any escalation. #Ukraine #NAFO

I honestly struggle to come up with a historical comparison. Destroying strategic assets that difficult to impossible to replace has been done, daring special forces raids have been done, and striking airbases to great effect has been done, all of which are hard to do, but to combine all three?

Russia has already lost. It bled half a million troops for barren fields. Its Black Sea Fleet is gone. Bombers burn in their own hangars. Bridges collapse far from the front. 🇺🇦 Ukraine fights with brilliance—drones, sabotage, strategy. This is defeat by design. #victory #ukraine #nafo
