Meh, Jens is a career politician and is extremely good at hiding his own opinions.
That also extends to his youth when he was a leader of the labour partys youth wing.
He served his conscription in the infantry at the height of the cold war and his father served as minister of both foreign affairs and defence as well as an extremely respected president of the Norwegian Red Cross when he retired from politics.

He's an economist, and appears to be a good one.

I don't agree with all his views, but as a person he appears to a genuinely good man and a good leader.

He will be loyal to the organization at all costs.

That the WSJ doesn't like a Norwegian labour leader is hardly a surprise...

Mind games with Swedish intelligence?

They totally do this.

We were out with these bog standard boring naval home guard (like the national guard) vessels a few years ago, about to go into a tiny port for the night:

We found an empty Russian embassy car (untouchable) right at our assigned civilian berth for the night, just to rub it in that they knew our sailing plan and our berthing space and no unit is too small and boring to be without interest.

We retaliated by placing the cordon juuust on the other side of the car so whoever had to leave his car right there untill we left. :colbert:

Once a few men were "fishing" from a bridge over to a nearby military installation in the winter, but they hadn't even bothered to make a hole in the ice below.

I want you to see me see you.

I don't feel good about this joke, I just needed to say something so offensive and over the line that I remind myself that I even have a line to begin with. It's how I respond to these sorts of things.

Thanks anyway. Made me smile. I was just clicking that one and then I thought "Hell, with the way these pictures are taken the next one might be a kid. Please don't be a kid"

It's a kid.

Looks like it's missing two, making an even better fit because of the antonov shootdown earlier in the week.

Actually the (northern) euro left is more the other way and are pretty much in favor of outlawing male circumcision as well, barring medical necessity.

Norwegian ministry of justice formally requests assistance from the military. Looks like we have another late July tradition going in addition to impending abortions and busted credit cards.

Oh, good. Sitting in an aluminium can with no air con for 18 hours at a time guarding something or other is just what I was missing in this heat.
