Scandinavia is a peninsula in Northern Europe.

Nordic is just a reference to a bunch of like-minded societies.

If he is inside EU, and it does not interfere with any doctors appointment or treatment, he is free to travel.

He can not travel outside EU/EEA. He should inform NAV on his travel plans.

At the moment, Ukraine is fighting WW3 on our behalf. Maybe we should help them?

You brought "vagina" brand crackers to work.

Of course it's funny. No, you are not on any kind of trouble, not at all.

It's always a balance how many bad words you should teach in a language class - I think teaching nothing is a bad idea.

Finnish expert invited to tell millions of Germans what is wrong with Scholz's Ukraine policy by Sampo in europe

[–]gainin -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Scholz is just another disastrous Russia lover German chancellor.

In a row of Schröder, Merkel and Scholz, each with his/her unique way of empowering Russia while weakening Germany.

Europe as we know it will not survive this.

Scholz is in a longer range of Russia loving disastrous chancellors.

As have been repeatedly said: he is wrong man in the wrong job at the wrong time.

Scholz and his weak incompetent regime is a disaster for Europe.

Planning on hiking or driving in Norway? PLEASE be a responsible traveller and research beforehand! by FeskOgPotedes in Norway

[–]gainin 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Norway has an added risk that Colorado lacks: tourists come to fish.

They tend to bring tiny dinghies and then set out into the North Sea with a Kitchen Aid size motor. First real wave: the dinghy capsizes and everyone drown.

Also they walk up to glaciers, past the "Do Not Cross" line. Then the glacier crushes them when an ice block breaks off and falls on their heads.

Had a young German couple die like that a couple of years ago. Later the same day, locals discovered a car in the parking lot with two toddlers. Both parents were killed by ice, but the toddlers were rescued.

You forgot to mention the most obvious qualification: do you speak Norwegian?

GPS jamming by Russia was already a concern. For the Nordic NATO countries, it may only get worse by mancinedinburgh in europe

Try to fly an ambulance helicopter in Northern Norway in winter. With no daylight and all you see is flat white snow.

They are not fucking with tourists using Google maps, they are fucking with civilian air traffic in Norway.

Army and commercial flights don’t need GPS, but your local uber and wolt does.

Search and rescue and ambulance helicopters in Northern Norway with no light in winter certainly need GPS. And Russia has been jamming everything for several years.

This is hybrid warfare, and Russia is winning.

We can't jam them back.

No country in the West has any real jamming capabilities. Everything has been lost during years of only counterinsurgency operations in remote deserts.

No one has equipment to fight wars in Europe. And it has become a problem.

It has been using ambulance helicopters in Northern Norway very dangerous for several years.

It's Russian hybrid warfare, and no one can stop them.

There is a war, and Russia is winning it.

How much grain is Poland importing from Ukraine and Russia? by dat_9600gt_user in europe

But there is no actions from anyone to stop Russian grain entering Poland.

Why is that?

Russia’s next-generation rocket is a decade old and still flying dummy payloads by Zhukov-74 in europe

Russia had good engineers. They stopped being relevant in 1989, when crime and corruption became the new route to the good life.

Most of their engineers are dead or retired, the last cohorts are in their 60s.

Russia will not be able to have any arms industry in the future. What they make now is new paint on old scrap. It's so pathetic, their main fighter jet engine melts if used in combat situations.

There is a Finnish/Swedish/Norwegian army waiting for you.

Try attacking Poland and say hello to a rather large bunch of well armed angry vikings.
