Norwegian university refuses to sanction professor who praised October 7 massacre

Two weeks after Professor Bassam Hussein’s terror glorification at NTNU, it is clear that what many see as praise for the October 7 massacre in Israel will have no consequences for his position at the University of Trondheim. Rector Tor Grande says no labour law measures are planned. The statement has been reported to the police, and it is now up to the courts to decide whether it violates Norwegian law.

Iranian Embassy recruits martyrs in Sweden: “Sacrifice your lives!”

The Iranian regime is now attempting to mobilize exiled Iranians in Sweden for martyrdom and jihad against the US and Israel.

-The USA is ruled by a madman surrounded by tech oligarchs

Norway’s elite is going bananas towards the USA. The rhetoric that has been cultivated for four years against Russia is now being redirected at Trump’s America. This will carry international costs for Norway. Oslo’s Finance Commissioner, Hallstein Bjercke (Liberal Party / Venstre), says the USA is “ruled by a madman surrounded by tech oligarchs.”

Trump: “Xi agrees not to send weapons to Iran”

Results are starting to trickle in from the Beijing summit: Xi has reportedly promised Trump that China will not supply Iran with weapons. This is a significant pledge — if it is kept.

Merz: More than two thirds of EU funds go to redistribution and subsidies

Why did Norway send Kravik to Tehran – A rescue mission?

Norwegian News Media (NTB) has interviewed State Secretary Andreas Kravik following his return from Tehran. It makes for bizarre reading. Both NTB and the Foreign Ministry try to play the neutral middle ground, but when dealing with a regime that has many faces and where it is unclear who actually holds power, diplomacy becomes a farce.

Trump uses personal relationship to warm ties with Xi

First visit in nine years: The American delegation met their Chinese counterparts in Peking on Friday. Trump praised Xi Jinping as a great leader and said he fully deserved it. Everyone around the table knows that Trump said something completely different during the pandemic.

The US is on the rise, while China is in a weakened position.
