@BloggOdds @jabbidabbadoo @SKBOR_ Den PSV spilleren har vist ytret ønske om å gå til Brann. PSV har gitt tilbud om forlengelse og fikk prøve seg på a-laget i sommer. Skal være rask. Får vi han så blir det enda en ung satssningsspiller. Sturm Graz fikk avslått bud tidligere i sommer.

[Vidar Pedersen @virpen]

@jabbidabbadoo @SKBOR_ @BloggOdds 2 spillere blir 30 over sommeren og plutselig er 30+ ett stort problem. Dragsnes og Finne får ikke fornyet nå i 2026, det ble vell nylig insuinert av Brann? Nana er satssningsspiller og neste år er det 4 spillere 30 + der kontrakten går ut. De jakter også en 19 åring i PSV👌

@Mr__Viking @Smoothedan Har ikkes toll på biff og kjøtt vært noenlunde stabil i flere år? Prisøkningen er etter krigen i 2022, pga høyere priser på kraftfôr, gjødsel, energi og transport.

[Vidar Pedersen @virpen]

@defpac48 @StephanAJensen I understand the personal risk. That doesn’t change who created the problem. Russia started this war, so the solution ultimately has to come from Russia.

[Vidar Pedersen @virpen]

@norwegianesc @Erlarnd De innførte ikke en helt ny toll, den ble endret fra eksisterende krone toll til prosent toll - noe som gir bedre importvern.

@kirt_huff @AnnBaptist @podevyns Well, a decision was made — right or wrong. These things tend to even out in the long run. Days went by without FIFA overturning it, and nothing changed until a phone call between the bigwigs. That’s the biggest problem here.

[Vidar Pedersen @virpen]

@kirt_huff @AnnBaptist @podevyns A straight red card results in a suspension for one or more future matches. The whole point of that punishment is to deter dangerous tackles. Red card rules apply equally to every team and every competition. This isn’t about wanting an advantage — it’s simply how suspensions work

@EspenBarthEide @kajakallas @eu_eeas @EU_Commission @NorwayEU Meget godt utført politisk arbeid. Dette er viktig 👏

@Knutshoe @anineki Er ihvertfall det jeg har. Bygget ifjor høst.

[Vidar Pedersen @virpen]

@Knutshoe @anineki Motsatt ende av nevnte avløpsrør har åpning, så om første avløps utgang er tett, så fylles kun selve avløps kanalen. Det vil aldri stige over og over på det flate taket. (Det flate taket er forøvrig ikke flatt, men heller med 1 cm per meter inn mot nevnte avløps kanal).

@8855patavla @VidarHaltbakk @AnnaNavn @JanHerdal Det er meget stor forskjell på norske (havgående) vs svenske (nærhet til kyst). De norske ubåtene er mye større. Må ha større rekkevidde. Håndtere høy sjø. Naturligvis mye dyrere enn svenske men om de er 3 gangen dyrere.. Norge har mange særkrav i anbudene.

🇦🇪🛢️OPEC is a cartel. Like 13 farmers agreeing to sell less wheat so prices stay high.

UAE could produce 4.85 million barrels a day. OPEC said: you can only sell 3.2 million. The rest sits idle. Every single day.

That gap cost Abu Dhabi roughly $100 million daily in forgone revenue. Over a year, north of $35 billion. Just sitting there. Unused. To keep Saudi Arabia's price management alive.

UAE just said: enough.

Now it can sell everything it produces. More oil in the market means prices fall. Saudi Arabia must now cut its own production even further to compensate, alone, destroying its own revenue to hold a cartel together that just lost its third-biggest member.

And the domino problem is what really frightens Riyadh. Qatar left 2019. Angola 2023. UAE 2026. Nigeria, Iraq and Kazakhstan are all sitting on unused capacity right now, watching UAE's math carefully.

OPEC isn't dead. But it has lost 13% of its production capacity and 100% of the fiction that members will keep accepting billions in losses for collective discipline.

This news might also boost Norway's accession to the EU.

Fishing rights were a major roadblock, but now the EU is willing to be flexible, Norway might be interested as well.

The Norwegian conservatives also recently floated the idea. The Nordics could be united in the EU!

[Bogáta Timár @BogataTimar]

okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here.
Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years, you completely miss the point, and you're a disappointing bunch.
Let's go.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

I can promise this: The Senate will not vote to leave NATO and abandon our allies just because Trump is upset they wouldn’t go along with his reckless war of choice.

Thank you to @SecRubio for sponsoring the bill in 2023 requiring a two thirds vote of the Senate to make sure clueless presidents couldn’t act on a whim.

[Peder Schaefer @pedersschaefer]

Here's a small shift in Brussels that matter far more than it looks:

[Vidar Pedersen @virpen]

@DD_SMALLZ @7Veritas4 NYC isn’t broke, and Florida isn’t eliminating property taxes — that’s just a proposal with no funding plan.

[Vidar Pedersen @virpen]

@StockwatchUK @timecaptales Monte Cassino sits at the entrance to the Liri Valley—the only large corridor through the Apennine Mountains that could support Tank, truck supply and large troop movements toward Rome.

Therefore you could not move an army with logistics around.

[Benjamin Wolf 🇺🇦 @benbawan]

I know it's fashionable to talk Europe down these days.

But Europe’s latent power *potential* and strategic options are arguably bigger today than they probably have been at any point since 1945.

Let me explain.

[Vidar Pedersen @virpen]

Ønsker GOP en potensiell handelskrig med EU - i ett mellomvalg år?

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

To my Republican colleagues: ENOUGH. It's time for the Senate to vote to block these tariffs and to block the use of military force against Greenland.

Trump is tearing apart our alliances in real time and the economic & diplomatic consequences will be catastrophic.
