An In-Depth Analysis by Anders Puck Nilsen I am a bit more interested than average in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. In this regard, I have spent some time finding sources that provide good and as objective as possible analysis of the situation there. One of the analysts I follow is the excellent military analyst …
It`s a beautiful day It’s a beautiful day outside, a rare occurrence here in Trondheim, situated in the heart of Norway. A long, dreary winter has finally let go, and some kind of spring is here. I have just been to the store where I have bought everything I need for another day. Of course, …
