WHERE ARE THE BOOTS COMING FROM?

By AI-ChatGPT4o-Human Synthesis-05 March 2025

European leaders are on a collision course with reality when they believe that we can give real support to Ukraine in the war against Russia. To win a war you need soldiers.

Henrik Thune is a foreign policy researcher and former state secretary at the Prime Minister's office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and pointed out in Aftenposten yesterday that we have to be honest.

He writes that it is well and well that the political will in Europe is present to help Ukraine militarily against Russia, but the reality is that without the United States it is not possible (and hardly with the United States on the team):

"This is because there are not enough weapons in warehouses in Europe, not enough production, not enough good systems and independent intelligence. But also because the Ukrainians themselves do not have enough personnel, or enough will to show up with a sufficient number of soldiers, among other things because of the border that is set for 25 years, and because many have gone abroad. " (1)

So, you don't only lack weapons and ammunition, but "boots on the ground".

According to Thune, the "boots" have gone abroad.

It's not that strange — and I understand the Ukrainians very well — because these "boots" are quickly becoming ground food on the front lines, it has shown.

In response to the breakdown that occurred during the meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Zelensky at the White House last week, Britain's Keir Starmer called for a "European summit" in London, where he promised English "boots on the ground" (2).

Imagine if Norway promises the same?

It's totally unrealistic that these "boots" don't become cannon fodder.

As of January 15, we are up to 65 566 Ukrainians in Norway according to SSB (3). Approximately 1.2% of the Norwegian population are now Ukrainians.

In other words, the Ukrainian "boots" have been distributed to other European countries, and now these other countries — who have received the Ukrainian "boot" — will be shipping their own "boots" to Ukraine to defend the country in a war that according to Henrik Thune is absolutely unrealistic to win.

These "boots" can be your kids.

How great will the fighting moral be when we send our hopefuls to the front in Ukraine — with the obvious outcome that we will lose — while the Ukrainians are here?

LET'S GO BACK IN TIME

Then NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said in 2023 that Vladimir Putin in 2021 drafted a treaty in which NATO had to stop its expansion eastward (otherwise Russia could attack Ukraine) (4).

NATO has gradually surrounded Russia for a number of years, something Russia viewed as an "existential threat" and therefore protested loudly.

Now Ukraine was next as a NATO member, and Putin knew very well that Hitler attacked Russia through Ukraine in his time. It was geopolitically extra important to Putin that Ukraine was a neutral country, among other things, because of its location and its long border.

In the video interview, you can see that Stoltenberg was hovering that Putin asked for less NATO presence, but in a response from NATO, he got more.

Think about it when you're about to kiss your children off to the frontline — that Stoltenberg never tried diplomacy and boasted about it afterwards.

USA

By taking out unbelievable amounts of loans, the U.S. has funded wars around the world for decades. The interest on the old loans is paid by taking out new loans.

This pyramid game has been doing fine since 1971, when Nixon withdrew from the gold standard — without the gold standard, more loan financing will be allowed, which actually means money laundering — among other things, to finance the bombing of Cambodia.

All pyramid games have an end. The U.S. interest rates are growing exponentially and uncontrollably, and are now so high that the currency press has been hot, posing a risk of hyperinflation and dollar collapse.

The American reality is that they can no longer spend money they don't have - and play world police. The United States must take action (4b).

The realities have caught up with the Western world, which means that instead of the ones like the war hissler Jens Stoltenberg, we will have to in the future "address" diplomacy and peace initiatives.

These days, peace scientists like Professor Glenn Diesen are canceled and even persecuted in this country, to the extent that he now has to move abroad (5).

Think about it when you send your children to the frontline, that in this country, peace scientists are persecuted and have to move to free countries.

What exactly are we defending?

How many "boots" will your family contribute with while Stoltenberg hopes he refused to negotiate with Putin, when we still had good cards in our hands?
