I know, but it's about an 85-15 split (maybe tilted slightly more in favor of the Turks). I'm just pondering the possibility of a scenario similar to China's Tibet where the local population, what remains of it, continues to resist the cultural and economic influence. There have been some...

Before answering Vostok's questions I'll opine about what I think could, but probably wont, happen in Europe over the next decade. ... Putin's last year? He's going full Robot Nixon and ruling forever! I'm just joking of course, but I don't see him stepping down in the next decade at least...

I like to chat with people on the internet, and do so kind of frequently, but outside of the internet I'm whimsy, but a bit more quiet. I'll talk with my girlfriend, our friends and people I work with or know around my community, but I tend to also talk less. I honestly prefer to be away from...

I can't imagine the deployment of a Delta IV would be a concern to the Turks considering the submarine was tracked by the Norwegian Air Force and Navy the moment it left the Kola Bay. The Turks knew about its presence and would have been able to take the necessary precautions or preparations to...

From ongoing exercises Joint Reindeer and Ymer 2018.

Ya'll got some snow? Normally I'd be jealous because where I live it doesn't snow a lot (counter-intuitive I know), but not this time. This was the view from my house a few weeks ago. There's trees there, I promise.

Got a chance to see some of His Majesty the King's Guard KP5's SISU medevac vehicles in downtown Olso.

Same here. Our police don't even use electro-shock weapons like Tasers. Pepper spray and batons, firearms on duty if authorized, but always in their vehicles as a standby at very least. One interesting difference between our police and military is that the police carry shotguns. Outside of...

Warm weather. I can't survive if it gets above 13 c. Please keep the Norwegian on ice at all times, please. Thank you.

Sure. During drown-proofing while going through SAR training. I didn't almost drown, but had the onset of hypothermia due to heat exchange with the water and loss while struggling to breach the water's surface. Granted the whole concept of drown-proofing is to make sure you, well, don't drown...

KNM Roald Amundsen training with United States Navy USS Harry S Truman Strike Group during exercise C2X.

Definitely give mods a try if you're using Steam. Pious border control is a veritable must have with how spam-happy the AI is with religious units, and removable features is great for clearing out archaeological sites. And you're right about me liking Norway, but Norway is, to be completely...
