Sylvi Listhaug praises the Young Conservative leader and warns: – We are in a dangerous spiral (VG)
Sylvi Listhaug (Frp) hopes her party leader colleague Erna Solberg (H) will embrace the Young Conservative leader’s plan to stop immigration. – I was in Sweden in 2017 and looked at Swedish conditions. It was bad at the time. Now it has become many times worse. Shooting, hand grenades, murder and completely wild conditions. We also see here in Oslo that this degenerates into stabbings, shootings and machete attacks. We are in a dangerous spiral: – If this develops, it is only a matter of time before we have major challenges, also in Norway. I am glad that the Young Conservative leader now sees that, says Listhaug. The seas

MDG: Asks the government to drop road projects: - “No brainer” (Nettavisen)

Time is running out for Ukraine (Janne Haaland Matlary, professor of political science at the University of Oslo and professor II at the Norwegian Defense Academy) (DN)
The longer the war lasts, the worse for Ukraine in every way. Things are going hard on the front in Ukraine. There is no military progress. Never – since the invention of the airplane – has an offensive been successful without air control first. There are two scenarios for what will happen in the future: One is that Ukraine’s offensive results in a clear victory this summer, and then there will be a negotiation on their terms – if Russia wants to negotiate. The second is that the war drags on and there is no progress for either side – and this is a victory for Russia. Why? Because a Ukraine that cannot convert large and expensive arms deliveries into victory will not get more weapons eventually. It’s too expensive and it doesn’t get results, which is the whole point. And because the American election campaign will take all political attention from the autumn and one year ahead. The seas
