Reply to Norway: Thunberg joins Indigenous protests against turbines. The young environmental activist says green energy cannot come at the expense of human rights. A court order has deemed the turbines' location in Norway illegal, as they disrupt Sami reindeer-herding traditions by DoremusJessup

I was born and raised in the area where theese windmills are. The 18 years of me living in that are i have never seen a single sami person, and at worst maybe a couple reindeer. The windmills are closer to the coast, and the thing they are complaining about is that some reindeer might occasionally wander close to that area. But of all the people in Oslo having a protest. Not a single one of them is from that area. My view on the matter is that im pro windmill, im pro progression of the norwegian infrastructure and renewable energy. Norway is going through a energy price crisis because the government decided to sell more energy to neighbouring countries. But that part of norway and further north still has relatively cheap power because it is not connected to the same powerlines as south norway, and most of the power generated is from wind and water.

Reply to comment by TheseLipsSinkShips in Australia uncovers Russian espionage ring, expels spies: Report by WhoIsJolyonWest

My thoughts exactly. I mean, Australia is a close ally of the U.S. but they are also in close proximity to China and is part of the Five Eyes Alliance. My guess is the Russians are cross-referencing intel gathered from Australia and elsewhere to paint a clearer picture of the West's strategic interests considering how far they went in conducting such a huge operation in Australia.

They're definitely intensifying espionage efforts. This may be related to Ukraine.

Reply to The small European nation of Switzerland beat sky-high inflation. Here's how by ethereal3xp

>Switzerland, a small mountainous nation in western Europe, has avoided rampant inflation even as other countries continue to battle sky-high prices.

>Inflation in Switzerland hit a 29-year high of 3.5% in 2022, well below the double-digit rates of other advanced economies.

>A strong Swiss franc, resilient energy supply and pricing controls are some of the factors that have helped shelter the country's economy

Just like people never forgave Clinton, no one will forgive Russia if the narrative is wrong and Russia ends up winning. Could you imagine how angry the world would be with the Russian people? They will never be forgiven and people will accept any hostile act against them. Could you imagine IRA staff being hunted as war criminals decades from now? Doesn't seem far fetched of Russia wins.

Thanks. I will try that.. I have been wishing that there was a single good reliable frontline news source, and maybe that is it. It seems that /r/ukraine wants to focus on morale and happy news. Which I totally get, and it serves its purpose well. I am sure that there are people who need the daily uplift, and I go there many times a day as well. I also find the best donation spots there.
