    With allies like these who needs enemies?


    Norway’s probably the only small country in the world secure enough to withstand trade-ending tariffs from the US. It absolutely needs to start America-proofing its economy

      I hope they do this and we retaliate. We should divest from every US company and refuse their military from training here. Let the whole world kick these fascists out of their countries. Let them become North Korea 2.0.

      This is like.. not even in the top 10 of the most unhinged Lindsey Graham statements this week. From starting multiple new wars, encouraging nuclear first strikes, the dissolvement of any international agreements, to specific comments about energy policy in multiple countries.

      And they’re all 100% in line with current US foreign policy.

      Really, I’m just so very grateful for our greatest ally ever.

      But whatever you do, please don’t mason the country inside a brick dome. We would /hate/ that. Do anything but masoning yourselves into a brick dome. Dear gods the Euros would be so mad if the US did that.

      Norway is best-positioned to withstand the US’s economic vandalism. Don’t give an inch even if it means halting all US trade. Actively start divesting away from US companies, and begin to culturally view the US as a belligerent bad acting adversary on par with Russia. Oh, and of course expel the Israeli ambassador while you’re at it

      It is quite disrespectful of Graham to say this when this is a decision based on the fund’s ethical guidelines which are anchored in the parlament by representatives elected by the Norwegian people.

      Imagine being a dimwit politician and getting into an argument with a wealth fund that owns > 1.5% of the global stock market. Good luck with that.

      “Geopolitical differences” is an interesting choice of words to describe what Israel is doing.

      Wow, Republicans run their country so well that they have to threaten everyone in the world to make them in business with American companies

      Pathetic.. atp i would’ve just used the money to invest in China to just stick it to them, but allas we wont

      Does not surprise me this nonsense comes from this filth mouth. The same dude who said lets nuke Iran. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦

      I would consider visiting the US, in its current state, a punishment rather than a privilege..

      Go fuck yourself.

      As a person born in the US who is now a Norwegian citizen…Well, I am eternally grateful for Norway being such an amazing place to live. My number one complaint for far too long was Norway letting its foreign policy being much too influenced by the US.

      I am very happy to see Norway has found its backbone and is standing up. We still have democracy here and its still possible for everyday people to live a decent life.

      Hope more Norwegians wake up and see that the greatest enemy to Norwegian values is the US. As the US, has divided the people and via that infighting has crushed unions, access to healthcare and education and basically made people to decide on their fears as hope is gone. For a long time I have boycotted as many US products as possible and am proud to say I will never set foot again on that shithole of a country. May the everyday people there rise up and take it back.

      America is not a reliable partner right now, even when interests seemingly align. I’m an American in the U.S., and we can’t even keep straight what nonsense the government is doing day to day other than, whatever it is, it’s probably going to make things worse. Sorry, y’all, but don’t look to us for much right now.

      The US today would rather sell Svalbard to Russia, as it has tried to give Eastern Ukraine to Russia.
      Then they have designs for Greenland…
      After the election, its time for Norway to join the EU and be covered by art 42.7, as US is proving an adversary. Its also time for EU to stand up.

    26. DarrensDodgyDenim on

      In all seriousness, it is probably time to quietly reduce the fund’s exposure to the US. Politically, that country is not stable anymore.

      He’s going full Trump.. I never thought I’d see the day when the US no longer is a friend. I guess I was naive.

      I grew up watching American movies, portraying the Americans as righteous, caring, protecting the weak, helping the poor and there really are many such magnificent American heroes, but I guess this is not their time to shine. At this point, I’m not even sure the world survives until next Sunday. It’s also just as likely the United States teaming up with Russia to attack Europe. It just wouldn’t surprise me. The United States is an unreliable partner, cause every four years up can be down, orange can be yellow, the earth can be flat. I think the only thing to do is follow the four agreements and be excellent to each other. I also will never vote for a politician who doesn’t wipe his ass with the flag of Israel.

      “Doing business with America is a privilege, not a right”. Wow, its like doing business with Norway is a privilege for Americans and not a right. 🙄

      Time for EU to be a global army equipment leadership, we are forced to control our own safety.

    33. YazZy_4 on

      Oh well, maybe NBIM should just pull their massive investments in US property markets, industry, energy and finance?

    35. Balc0ra on

      He posted this right before Trump took credit for getting Norway to invest more in the US, creating jobs. You know, since he is the “working man’s” president

    37. Extreme_Cheek_6168 on

      I’m one of those Americans that wishes the US could follow Norway’s example in almost all situations. But then we have this guy…

      I’m active in trying to unfuck this country, but — hoo boy — there’s a whole lot of stupid fuckery over here.
