  1. Sahra Wagenknecht's party, The Left, holds 5.3% of seats in the German Bundestag (parliament). Sahra Wagenknecht is a good example of the 'horseshoe theory' of political partisanship: The further people/parties get from the political center, both to the left and the right, the closer their political positions align with those of their political opposites. Like a horseshoe, the ends meet. Sahra Wagenknecht, while being on the socialist left, shares several political and social views with those on the political far right: Opposition to NATO, in favor of Russia, opposition to EU's support of Ukraine, opposition to Israel, opposition to immigration, opposition to the German Covid-19 response (incl. vaccination policy). While these are all legitimate views, it's interesting that two political groupings that, on paper, are so far apart still have so much in common.

  2. This attempt at satire/sarcasm was not very successful, I think, but maybe that's because I'm from Scandinavia. Nobody here thinks 'Hvaldimir' is a threat, rather he has become a mascot of sorts in Norway. He has quite a presence on Norwegian social media. I have been following this story for years and even in the Anglo media I have never seen the whale described as a threat, or as an active spy, or as dangerous. Clearly, this has all along been one of those 'isn't it weird' kind of stories. Try harder, Glenn, also at reading from a screen. Don't read like a 4th grader.

  3. Also, did you see those nice sides of fresh cod they served him? Norwegian seafood, it's something else!

  4. I feel Glenn Greenwald's face looks different, like it's partly paralyzed. I hope he's not having an ischemic stroke.
