Dozens of reindeer have been killed for crossing into Russia, as Norway fixes Arctic fence

Norway is constructing a fence to keep reindeer herded by the indigenous Sámi people from crossing the border into Russia. Apparently Russia is able to demand quite steep reparations for the grazing the reindeer so in Russia.

holy shit. I was expecting them to take out Prigozhin at some point, but I never would have thought it would happen this soon

I go into the field for ONE SHIFT and fuckin pringles is ded. Fuck this, i'm gonna quit my job and stare at the news.

I think we really are missing a trick by not pretending we're the center. What, conservatives? Yeah, I hate em! Buy I hate liberals too. Ever heard of horseshoe theory? Well they're on either end but I'm in the middle!

According to Norwegian government-controlled broadcaster NRK, Norway is going to donate an as of yet undisclosed number of F-16's to Ukraine.

In other Norwegian aviation news a Russian MiG-31 had to be scrambled to intercept a Norwegian military aircraft approaching Russian airspace over the Barents sea. A similar incident happened yesterday.

Suggestions for new acronyms following BRICS expansion:

RUSSIA BE ICE

ICES A BRUISE

AI CUBES RISE

BEE IS ICARUS

BASIC IE USER

BI SURE IS ACE

I’ve been saying and saying and saying that Prigozhin will meet the fate of Trotsky.

Trotsky - after the failed coup of November 7, 1927 was expelled to Kazakhstan, and ultimately killed in Coyoacán, Mexico City on August 21, 1940.

Prigozhin - after the failed coup of June 23, 2023 was expelled to Belarus, and ultimately killed in Kuzhenkino, Tver oblast on August 23, 2023.

Just like Trotsky, the loud mouthed yet nonetheless brilliant military commander will be disposed of by the State when he has served his purpose, and would be deemed a dangerous figure if allowed to roam free during peace time.

FOLKS THE CORRUPT CRONIES IN THE INTERNET AETHER ARE TRYING TO KEEP ME FROM MY RIGHTFOUL POSITION IT'S TIME DO DEMAND THEY START THE PIN!!!!!!!!

On the Ukrainian front, nothing new.

I'm arguing with a friend about China's ghost cities and it's "impending real estate collapse"? Anyone have any articles I can reference that aren't Wall Street Journal?

Patrick Lawrence: Biden’s Pointless Asian Summit

My goodness. President Joe Biden and the press serving his regime pumped so much hot air into that three-sided Asian summit at Camp David last week it is a wonder the entire occasion didn’t float away like an overfilled balloon.

Here’s the thing: It will.

Biden brought together the South Korean president and the Japanese premier to forge some kind of new security pact that is intended to endure, as Biden bloviated, “not just this year, not just next year, forever.” You have to love it: Rarely do we get clownish hyperbole of such high quality. But we must remind ourselves from whom this silliness issues. Then we can make some minimal sense of nonsense, if you will suffer a paradox. Let us consider the grist of the talks Biden hosted at the presidential retreat in Maryland. This will not take long.

President Yoon Suk Yeol and Premier Fumio Kishida are two rightist conservatives with very low approval ratings back in South Korea and Japan respectively. They each flew to Washington for White House summits earlier this year, reflecting the Biden regime’s plan to fortify an arc of security alliances running from Seoul through Tokyo, Manila and Singapore all the way to Canberra.

The prima facie objective of this strategy, as obvious as the sun’s rise in the morning, is to surround China so as to contain its influence in the Pacific and, you have to figure, at some point to confront it militarily. I find it weird beyond weird that Biden continues to insist that his regime is not “anti–China” and still expects anyone to take him seriously.

The Camp David summit last Friday was supposed to be a big moment in this extravagant project. The three leaders agreed to expand military exercises they already conduct, to establish a three-way communications hotline, to gather yearly for a trilateral summit and to extend cooperation on ballistic missile deployments, which is Orwell-speak for putting more U.S. missiles on South Korean and Japanese soil.

The White House calls these agreements “the Camp David Principles.” At this point I need help, and maybe you do, too. Military drills; red telephones in Seoul, Tokyo and Washington; talking together once a year, more American hardware at the western end of the Pacific: I cannot find a single principle in any of what the three presented to the world when they were finished last Friday afternoon.

And there is a good reason for this. Washington has been pushing its more pliant Asian allies for years to sign on to its new Cold War in the Pacific. But push has not yet come to shove. Were Washington to shove Seoul and Tokyo — to tell them the hour has come to engage the People’s Republic in war — it would be instantly clear that East Asians share few of America’s “principles” and want no part of an open conflict with their largest neighbor, largest trading partner and civilizational brothers and sisters.

The mountain Biden wants to make out of this molehill surpasses all belief, in my read. The Camp David setting and the “Camp David Principles” are clunky props in our addled president’s effort to summon the Camp David Accords former President Jimmy Carter negotiated with Egypt’s Anwar El-Sadat Sadat and Israel’s Menachem Begin back in 1978. There is only one thing more supercilious: The New York Times’ fawning coverage of the summit as brought to you by Peter Baker, the paper’s White House correspondent.

A clown covering a clown will always make entertaining reading, I always say.

...

China was supposed to be inflamed by the Camp David events, and I suspect the Biden regime and the American press wanted it to be angered so as to lend the occasion magnitude. I was all the more struck by how casually Beijing seemed to shrug it off. My read: Beijing certainly views the U.S. as a grave threat to its security, but it well recognizes the practical limits of its allies’ loyalties.

Let’s put it this way: Try to imagine Seoul or Tokyo committing troops, ships, and planes to a cross–Strait war in defense of Taiwan led by the U.S. military. I am sure readers can finish this paragraph very well on their own.
