Trump says the U.S. will take control of Greenland 'one way or the other'
  • Yes very remote and isolated bases. Very much dependent on resupply by sea. Yeah it'd be a dick move to destroy the bases power generation capabilities during a -40 winter, but these are the times we live in I guess.

  • Trump says the U.S. will take control of Greenland 'one way or the other'
  • The danish military. Side note, the USA does their cold weather training in Norway in terrain that local civilians ski/hike recreationally, and in temperatures that are significantly higher than those in Greenland. You are right that there is an exchange of expertise in NATO, but it's the Scandinavians that do the training when it comes to cold weather / mountain warfare. The USA's specialty is urban counterinsurgency and bombing Africans.

  • Who owns the boats?
  • It's possible to get a small boat (couple of berths, simple galley and a shitter) for around $5000 total in Norway. But as with all things this gets progressively more expensive the further north you go. But overall boats are not that expensive here because there are a lot of them. (Supply and demand)

  • Who owns the boats?
  • You can get a car that runs for around €3000 in Bergen or Oslo, but used cars get progressively more expensive the further north you go. But getting work done on a car is the expensive thing. I payed around €5000 for my car 3 years ago and last year I spent €3000 getting it passed the control. The problem is that Norway has a harsh coastal climate (salt spray, constantly going above and below freezing etc), and shit roads outside of Oslo. I've broken 2 springs, cracked my oil sump, and punctured a tyre just because of shitty roads. And because Norway is outside the EU we pay toll on everything we order from outside Norway, which is most things (including car parts) because Norway doesn't actually produce anything).

  • Who owns the boats?
  • Just had a look at used sailing boats in Norway and there are a fair number for under $10 000. Basically cheaper than a used car or camper. I'd have one if I had somewhere to keep it.

  • Trump Wants to Be President for Life—and He’s Already Preparing for It
  • Vance is the dangerous one. Trumps only purpose was to get Vance onto the throne. Peter Thiel will likely have him whacked and blame it on the radical left so Vance can use martial law to further dismantle Americas democratic institutions.

  • The 6th of February is Sami peoples day. Enjoy!

    My 3 year old has taken up parkour. How do I keep her from killing herself?

    So my three year old has, since she was little, been really into jumping. I try to warn her that she could seriously injure herself, but this hasn't happened yet so she doesn't think I'm serious. But she jumps over and off anything. Sisters bunk bed to the armchair 2 meters away? No problem. Bunk bed to the floor? Sticks the landing every time. I swear my partner must have cheated on me with a f##king spider monkey.

    How do I convince her to not do the jumps that could break her ankle if she lands wrong? I'm not getting through to her. I'm happy she is physically active, but she's taking the piss.
