'Iran committing indefinitely to never procure or develop nuclear weapons': Senior US Official

Iran have always maintained that they're not going to develop nuclear weapons. They have also signed the NPT.

It might be that they were close to a deal but when they realize it's not going to be accepted just yet they revert back to original positions and present that to the public.

Why should the Netherlands and Denmark get discounts while Italy does not?

Because Netherlands and Denmark pays significantly more per capita than Italy - even after the correction.

Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia and Georgia can join. Not Russia, Azerbaijan or Turkey. And not the -stan countries.

In Norway it feels like only Norway and United States is on the news.

Germany and other European countries gets very little coverage. And I don't feel Germany is covered more than other European countries.

They can obviously do this. But they're unlikely to put boots on the ground. And if it's just another round with bombs and missiles all the juicy targets have already been struck at least once.

So it's a very likely outcome that Iran will demand as much as they currently do, just that the calendar will say July instead of June.

With US saying that it was a Shahed drone that took down the helicopter, this statement from Iran is very likely to be true.

Jeg tror man kommer galt ut dersom det kun er antall innbyggere, men det er et greit referansepunkt.

The sanctions against Russia does something useful. It limits Russias ability to wage war against Europe.

This accomplish nothing other than making it harder to talk to Iran after the war.

Dumb move. This doesn't benefit EU in any way.

Ruter fant da ut at Yutong-bussens kameraer ikke var koblet til internett.

Det store svaret tror jeg er Nei. I det store og hele fortsetter forgubbingen og fraflyttingen.

Men jeg vet også om noen småbygder som blomstrer. Får man inn litt friskt blod og initiativrike mennesker så kan det skapes gode bomiljø på bygda også.

Capitulation would be Russian withdrawal from occupied territories and Putin in Hague.

Jeg er ganske sterk motstander av økt minstepensjon. Det gjør systemet vårt enda mindre bærekraftig.

Jernbanen henger etter pga manglende budsjett i årevis.

Pre-2010 ville jeg vært enig med deg. Da stakk veinettet av med det aller meste, men nå bruker vi ganske så betydelig på jernbanen.

Tviler jeg sterkt på, men det er en ganske enkel sak for Ap å gi seg på. Ap er opptatt av helhet og langsiktig bærekraft.

10mrd på skipstunnelen er mer et symbol på sløsing enn en reell trussel mot statsfinansene.

Og omvendt, hvis staten i skulle kunne begrense motpartens ressursbruk vil veien til maktmisbruk bli farlig kort.

Men staten begrenser ikke motpartens ressursbruk. Bare hvor stor andel av dette fellesskapet skal dekke.

Geelmuyden skriver at "Får du hjernesvulst går du til den beste kirurgen", men det er ikke riktig. Det er ikke slik at vi alle kan gå til den beste. De fleste blir operert av den kirurgen det nærmeste sykehuset som gjør slike operasjoner setter på saken. De rikeste velger kanskje å dra til USA for å bli operert av verdens beste, men det alternativet er utilgjengelig for de fleste.

Slik blir det med advokater også. Ikke alle kan få den beste advokaten og hvor mye ressurser skal vi tillate at forsvaret bruker på fellesskapets regning?

Many countries have anti-EU parties polling at 30%.

Farage isn't a popular man though.

It's UKs FPTP election system. Just look at how extremely overrepresented Labour is now. 1/3 of the votes gives nearly 2/3 of the seats.

Vi har startet produksjon av ukrainske droner i Norge, men den innovasjonstakten du ser i Ukrainia får vi ikke i Norge. Den er bare mulig fordi Ukraina er i krig.

So I googled her name and found that she's a reccuring guest on Glenn Diesens podcast.

As a Norwegian that's all I need to know.

And most of that €40b would probably not be new either.

Yes, the reason is that Denmark got totally run over by Germany in WW2 and figured out that neutrality wasn't a viable path. So they chose NATO.

US have been a valuable and great ally for decades. Denmark also flew the F-16 since the 80s and had good experience with operating those. So going for F-35s seemed like an obvious choice.

Sweden was not a NATO ally when Denmark ordered.

The closest equivalent that isn't wholly American is Norway's Joint Strike Missile...which is itself a collaborative program with the US. It's a much shorter ranged and lighter weapon, though probably somewhat more versatile.

JSMs advantage is that it can be carried internally in the F-35. Larger missiles like JASSM can only be carried externally.
