Why do Norwegians excel in winter sports?🤔

Scenery from the Norwegian mountains today.

New England/Vermont did very good too! Ben Ogden brings a lot of fun into the xc skiing💪 And I have to congratulate with last nights gold in ice hockey - I know that’s one of the most important events for the US.

🤷‍♂️

So we are here now. The spoiled little child didn’t get the medal he wanted so much, so he goes down the road of venegance. When sanity obviously don’t work any more, we in the Nordics better destill the best of our Viking gens & the Finnish Sisu. End of dialouge, time for tough decisions in Europe.

Trump tariff threat over Greenland 'unacceptable', European leaders say The US president says several European allies opposed to his plans to buy Greenland will face 10% tariffs from February.

And people still ask why Trump didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize…🤷‍♂️
Now he’s tariffing Norway - and other European & NATO countries for strengthening arctic sequrity - but not Russia for attacking 🇺🇦.
But he forgot the tariffs are paid by 🇺🇸 businesses and ordinary people.

Stemte mot russisk deltagelse frem mot OL i 2026 Russisk skitopp skylder på Norge etter at russiske og belarusiske utøvere fikk nei til deltagelse frem mot OL.

The FIS Board decided today that skiers from Russia and Belarussia will not be allowed to participate in the Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina🇮🇹2026.

The 🇷🇺 Cross Country leader blames the Norwegians and the other Scandinavians for the decision.

Which I’m very proud of!

www.vg.no/i/ny5Q6d?utm...

No, I’m just a regular Norwegian. But the whole of 🇳🇴 supports 🇺🇦, 100% of the elected parliament backs the decision to give USD8.5 bn in support to 🇺🇦 in 2025 and 2026. Even the Communists. We got back 100% of our land after WWII and hope the same will happen for 🇺🇦. Imperativ for European security.

The Noble Peace Prize is given by a Norwegian non political commitee. Take a look at our borders on a map; you’ll see that we up north have a common border with 🇷🇺. I guess we won’t give any peace prize to a Putin appeaser until hell freezes over. 🇳🇴 was occupied by the Nazis for 61 months during WW2.

Nobel Peace Prize 2025 live updates: Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado wins Nominations closed in January but US President Donald Trump had led a public campaign to win the award.

Nobel’s Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado 🇻🇪.

No prize to Trump: What did I tell you guys?🤷‍♂️

Reason 1: Candidate&reason must be delivered by 31. January
Reason 2: Candidate need to be an actual peace person, not an appeaser of the aggressor

🇳🇴 getting ready for tariffs

Russia accuses Norway of using arms supplies for 🇺🇦 for its own enrichment. Look who’s talking - supporting 🇺🇦 is a simple choice when 🇷🇺 abducts 20000 children and bombs hospitals and private neighborhoods. 61 months under Nazi rule in WW2 taught us a lesson about what is moral right and solidarity.

FBI Patel says he’ll meet Charlie Kirk in Valhalla, which is the hall of the slain warriors in Norse mythology, where they feast, drink, and fight under leadership of Odin, preparing for the Ragnarök (end of the world). The Valkyries will pick neither Kirk nor Patel, they picked my pagan ancestors.

Russia attacked Poland🇵🇱 - and NATO - with at least 19 drones last night. 4 days after Trump says he will reduce military support for the Baltics. Doesn’t take a genius to understand what’s happening.

Full «crises» in Europe due to these 19 UAVs. Think about 🇺🇦, they received 431 UAVs the same night.
