As the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout in actual practice is prior long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people to understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.
I wish to remind our allies that NATO was created to defend the West against the Soviet aggression, that is against Russia. And its foundation was solidarity, not egoistic interests. I hope that nothing has changed.
The euro is above 1.14, trading at its highest level in over three years. The dollar has lost 5.5% of its value against the euro since Liberation Day. That means buying European imports will now cost Americans 15.5% more. 10% for the tariffs and 5.5% due to dollar depreciation.
VG TV har i dag en kjapp gjennomgang som viser hvorfor man ikke så lett bør stole på Putin når det gjelder våpenhvileavtaler, og der Kristian Åtland og Karen-Anna Eggen er kjapt intervjuet. Vel verdt å bruke 1 minutt og 20 sekunder på: https://t.co/N9PPu3IKaC

Trump would've called Churchill a 'dictator'
Trump likes being number 2, he likes doing the PR work, being in front of the camera, getting the adulation, but serving the boss.

There is no tension for him in that. That is who he is.
