Norway Cuts-Off Food to Russian Miners on Island!
Under the guise of Economic Sanctions, Norway is refusing to allow shipments of supplies - including food -- to Russian Miners on the Island of Spitsbergen in the far north Atlantic Ocean.
Comments
There have long been reports that Moscow has tested a Russian space weapon at least twice, the second time being very recent. We mentioned two days ago the "launch of a space object" from Russia. Russia: "We can turn off satellites"
The statements of the Russian Deputy Prime Minister, Yuri Borisov, may not be accidental.
"Russia has made great strides in the development of laser weapons," Yuri Borisov said in a speech at the Forum of Engineers of the Future. According to him, serious progress has been made in the Russian Federation in the creation of the special power of the nitride laser beam and its maintenance within the specified parameters when it hits the target object. Cyber Polygon!
The crisis that arose with the Norwegian blockade against the Russian supply of Svalbard is evolving into a Russia-Norway territorial dispute. The Russians are talking about two Treaties which may cease to be in force immediately and lead to a major crisis between the two countries.
The Russians talk about a "Russian island" which was stolen in a moment of weakness in 1920, while they also raise the issue of Barents! According to Moscow, the purpose of the blockade is the complete NATO control of Svalbard located in the Arctic Ocean. The area is of great military importance as whoever has it, controls the western "gateway to the Arctic".
Kaliningrad is a “hot spot” that can escalate into a nuclear war, and in such a scenario, there will be no winners.
The saddest part of all of it? If it should happen, the ones who initiated it will be safe within their fully-stocked bunkers, created and supplied by tax-monies…while the ones who paid those taxes will be left outside to die. Keep fighting that good fight, and take care of one another.
Thats a good solid stand-by food source for them that could get them thru a harsh winter so I dont see any big need to panic in a war
PROVACATIONS AND MORE
PROVOCATIONS...
Now Erdogun. (Turkey should NEVER have been allowed
into NATO.....never!
Collectively, we all hold our breath...
we look for a wise,
articulate, well-mannered, leader.
Sadly. There's no leadership on the horizon.
Every public figure we look at are 1st class
ass-holes.
Macron, Tradeu, Biden, Johnson:
FOOLS, ALL. COWARDS, ALL.
WHERE ARE THE STATESMEN?
NONE TO BE SEEN.
They’ve all been ordered away-out of the picture and off the (Inter)National Stage so the actors can play out their assigned roles
Glorious Russian TASS clearly cited without attribution, comrade.....

"Many weapons sent from abroad were found at the training center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at Severodonetsk airport, including an entire ammunition depot from the Czech Republic and a NATO container.
"Crypts with western weapons, ammunition, machine guns were found. On the territory of the Azot plant, Ukrainian troops threw samples of weapons supplied to them by the West everywhere. "The Luhansk People's Militia has already taken it all in and is very grateful to Kiev and the collective West for providing the ammunition,"
NATO is rearming Russia, the Donetsk Peoples Republic and Luhansk Peoples Militia.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov recently stated that he fears NATO and the West are planning to eventually wage war with Russia. The European Union (EU) recently granted candidacy status to Ukraine after denying them entry for years. The war would have ended months ago if Western powers did not intervene and continually provide billions in funding. They are not simply doing a good deed – there is a reason behind their involvement.
Lavrov compared the situation to June 22, 1941, when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was surprised by the attack, but Germany was not alone. Troops from Romania and Finland helped Germany invade, and later forces from Croatia, Hungary, Italy, and Slovakia were brought in to fight all the way to the outer areas of Moscow.
“Hitler rallied a significant part, if not most, of the European nations under his banner for a war against the Soviet Union,” Lavrov said. “[N]ow, the EU together with NATO are forming another—modern—coalition for a standoff and, ultimately, war with the Russian Federation.”
Food? Food? We don need no steen-king FOOD!

As the deaths mount - so does their desperation to spend money on weapons, soldiers.
And to start wars.
This we all know.
NB
I listened to a BBC radio program today. It featured a UK scientist Sir Michael Landray lknighted for his RECOVERY Trial
https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-trial-on-hydroxychloroquine-it-doesnt-work/
that trashed Hydroxychloroquine etc - but gave a green light for Dexamethasone.
I checked his wiki page - no mention of money in his family.
Elsewhere I read he is worth $545 millions.
Wonder how he earned that ?
Leave out the "vax" part and tell me what is wrong about that statement. Why would you be baptized in the name of a dead man?
How many pieces of "silver" did he make off of that one?
I heard him say this!!!
Proof of demon possession.
In bed with Trump; the trojan horse!
All the other meaningless countries start to gang up on the poor Ru-skies.
I think Putin is playing out the clock.........
One of our nephews became very active in MMA as a pro after winning Golden Gloves as an amateur. We followed him with pride and learned all about a sport we previously did not follow. The various strategies displayed in bouts can translate onto the political stage. Check out this thirteen minute video with highlights from 10 of the greatest comebacks in MMA history.

Obviously, governments have not yet outgrown kindergarten and play these crazy children's games.
Only still ridiculous, how these politics monkeys behave!
Split the island ......half to Russia........
Lots of exotic minerals ...... titanium , vanadium , rare earth minerals ....... hmmmmmmm
The tragic-comic drama of prodders and prodded in the twilight hours of the Fifth Age of the Church, as foreseen by Venerable Bartholomew Holzhauer.
The elite are obviously trying to provoke Russia into doing something that they can spin to make it look like we are the good guys and then we can attack.
How stupid are our leaders?
They want to blame the coming economic crash on the war and bring in the financial reset / universal cashless money system.
These people are traitors to all of humanity, not just America !!!
This is not going to play out like they want.
& Ruthless. They didn't have anything to do with this conflict.
Russia is free to supply their mining camp by sea.
They don't want to.
Instead.....they want to move their freight mostly overland, and through a checkpoint in mainland Norway.
THERE IS NO right, under international law, for Russia to demand its planes/trains/trucks be allowed to travel overland through another state.
Same story as Kaliningrad....they're screaming 'blockade' (although there is no 'blockade') when they are free to supply their 'colony' by sea (but don't want to).

"Svalbard, located midway between Norway’s north coast and the North Pole, is part of Norway, but Russia has the right to exploit the archipelago’s natural resources under a treaty signed in 1920, and some settlements on the archipelago are populated mainly by Russians.
Norway, which is not in the European Union but enforces EU sanctions against Russia, has said sanctions would not affect the transport of goods by ship to Svalbard. But much of the freight for the archipelago’s Russian settlements passes first through a checkpoint in mainland Norway, which is closed to sanctioned Russian goods."
Except NOT.
1) All freight to Spitsbergen goes by sea. Russia just doesn't want to ship it on THEIR boats from THEIR ports....when it's cheaper for them to overland it by rail to Norway, and then make a short/cheap haul to Spitsbergen on a Norwegian ship.
2) Baltyisk, Kallingrad is a PORT CITY on the Baltic Sea and is the home to the Russian Baltic Fleet. The capital city itself is a major port city via canal to the Baltic Sea. Again......it's cheaper for them to overland it by rail through Lithuania. But they have NO RIGHT under international law to do so.
They'd like to continue to supply both as cheaply as possible.
TOO DAMN BAD......that's off the table, and they have no recourse under international law.
Correct.......ALL freight goes by sea.
Russia's beef is that they would prefer to ship it overland to Norway, which is a short trip by sea
They don't want to have to use the 'long way' from Murmansk or St Petersburgh.
Tough.
They're entitled under international law to ship by sea.
They NOT entitled under international law to ship overland, through other sovereign nations, for their convenience.
It seems the small countries like Lithuania are turning their backs on treaties and agreements. Who do you think is encouraging this? My guess is on the State Dept. Roscosmos needs another set of coordinates.
If you could produce a reference to this provision in this non-existant treaty, that would be great.
Meanwhile.....Norway is adhering to international law, and allowing unrestricted shipment BY SEA to that Russian camp.
Norway has no obligation to haul Russia's shit for them, by sea, or to allow passage through Norway of those goods.
If Russia wants to maintain their camp....they are free to do so....at their expense.....using their boats to move the freight.

1) This dates from 1993......not the end of WWII.
2) Neither the words 'rail' nor 'train' nor 'Belarus appear anywhere in the document
Meanwhile, this agreement says:
For passengers (not in dispute):
1. Regular transportation of passengers by coach shall be organized by agree
ment between the competent bodies of the Contracting Parties.
For freight:
The transportation of goods between the two countries or in transit through
their territories, with the exception of the operations envisaged in articles 7 and 8 of
this Agreement, shall be effected by road transport goods vehicles on the basis of
permits issued by the competent bodies of the Contracting Parties.
(excluding 'humanitarian aid')
The rest of the provisions just define additional bureaucratic hurdles that must be met to ship the goods.
I'm not seeing much Russia could use in this.....perhaps other than the humanitarian aid provision.....IF they would like to send that aid by road (NOT RAIL).
What constitutes 'humanitarian aid' would then be argues.
Since Russia is mostly bitching about shipping industrial goods to from Kaliningrad, they won't be getting anywhere.
FOOD (IE...'HUMANITARIAN AID') WAS EXPLICITYLY EXCLUDED FROM the set of goods being embargoed to Lithuania....for this reason.
Both Lithuania and Norway are adhering to their obligations under international law.
In both cases.....unrestricted sea transport of goods is being allowed.
Even murderer and rapist prisoners are fed, so those miners must have done something exceedingly foul to be denied food...
Like mining that awful carbon-based fuel! =8-o
.
Of course, as most socialist country enterprises of any large scale. Do you really believe American corporations are private? They are in bed with politicians via bribes (aka PAC donations), interlocking boards of directors, special interest lobbies, NGO’s, tax breaks, etc. And then you have the CIA’s investment firm funding projects galore like Google, Facebook, etc. And when they don’t want to “play ball” they sic the DOJ or EPA on them (i.e. Microsoft’s anti-trust suit). Politics is merely the highest extension of business.
with these northern countries getting involved it really does feel like all this conflict is over land and resources in the artic...
can't send food to miners who are actually working and not sponging off others?
Norwegian men have carried knives on their side for over a thousand years but that was banned due to all the crimes by muslim migrants using knives.
Get it together Norway, stop pushing Russia even closer to cooking us all.
“Of the 400 miners, technicians and support staff members now working for the Arctic Coal Trust on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, more than 300 come from Ukraine. Nearly all are from Donetsk and Luhansk, the eastern Ukrainian regions that have been convulsed in recent months by violent unrest.”
