The USS Gerald R. Ford, a Symbol of US Might, Docks in Oslo: Russia Angered
by SOFREP
23 hours ago
 
Oslo, the Norwegian capital, played host to a gigantic display of military prowess as the world’s largest warship, the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier, docked in its harbors this Wednesday. The vessel’s grand entrance stirred up controversy, leading to negative comments from Russia. This marked the first time a US aircraft carrier graced the Norwegian shores in over six decades.

With an impressive length of 337 meters (1,106 feet), the USS Gerald R. Ford made its grand appearance on the Oslo Fjord amidst escalating tensions between the West and Russia, sparked mainly by the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The warship is set to remain docked for a few days before embarking on Arctic military drills.



Reception and Backlash
While the Norwegian military seized this opportunity to tighten bonds with its vital ally, the United States, Russia voiced its opposition. Timur Chekanov, the spokesperson for the Russian embassy in Norway, condemned the show of force, arguing that no regional issues necessitated military intervention or foreign involvement.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Oslo is on an arm of the North Sea, not on the Baltic Sea or Arctic Ocean. Regardless of precise geography, Oslo is not in Russian territory, so Russia keep up their futile p@#$ing and moaning in their little corner.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
