Norway bombs Russian base:

"Arctic Pearl Harbor", says Putin

Nagurskoye is one of the world's northernmost military installations.

In a significant escalation of rising Russo-Norwegian tensions over the Franz Josef Land archipelago in the Arctic, the Norwegian Armed Forces launched a surprise military strike on Russia's northernmost military base, known as Nagurskoye, just after midnight on Friday. The base, located in the far west of Franz Josef Land, was significantly damaged by the Norwegian attack, with its air control tower reportedly left inoperable. 68 Russian soldiers were killed in the strike, while a further 43 Russian soldiers were taken prisoner by the Norwegian Armed Forces. The imprisoned soldiers are expected to be repatriated to Russia in the same plane as the remains of their comrades later today.

"An act of war"

Russian president Vladimir Putin made a special televised address following the incident, referring to it as a "savage act of war, reminiscent of the fascist Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor", and asserting that "Russia will take all measures necessary to defend its sovereign territory". Russia has recalled its diplomats to Norway and urged all Russian citizens in Norway to "leave the country without haste", stoking fears of an imminent Russian attack on mainland Norway in retaliation for the strike on Nagurskoye. Such a strike has the potential to trigger a war between Russia and NATO.

Domestically, the strike on Nagurskoye has alienated Norway's ruling Labor Party from its supporters in parliament — the Socialist Left, Center, Red, and Green parties — who issued a collective statement condemning the attack as "shameful warmongering", and urging a "peaceful resolution". Contrarily, the attack on Nagurskoye won praise from the incumbent government's own opposition, particularly from the far-right Progress Party, who became the second biggest party in the Norwegian parliament following the 2025 election.

Norway's attack has also been met with global condemnation from the international community, with many wondering what the Støre government's motivations for the attack actually were. Norwegian prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre (Labor) announced in a press conference on Friday that the attack was a "preemptive strike within the bounds of international law, intended to prevent an imminent Russian invasion of Svalbard". The Svalbard archipelago has itself been the subject of a long-lasting dispute between Norway and Russia regarding the interpretation of the Svalbard Treaty, with Russia accusing Norway of militarizing the archipelago.

"Fridtjof Nansen Land is ours"

The surprise attack on Nagurskoye air base happened only three days after Norwegian prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre was controversially seen at an official event in front of a map of Norway that appeared to depict Franz Josef Land as part of Norway's sovereign territory. Although the Støre government later released a statement apologizing for the map, claiming that its inclusion of Franz Josef Land was a "mistake generated by AI", AI expert John Kileberg claims that the map in question was likely not made with AI at all.

The Norwegian government has referred to Franz Josef Land as "Fridtjof Nansen Land" in all its official communications since September, when the Norwegian parliament passed a new law officially changing the archipelago's name back to its historical name used during its brief time under Norwegian rule. This new "Fridtjof Nansen" vs "Franz Josef" name dispute has led Russia to fear a revival of Norwegian claims to the archipelago — claims that Norway has never relinquished de jure, only de facto following the islands' annexation by the USSR in 1926.

Commentators note that, although the Norwegian government still officially denies any plans to annex Franz Josef Land from Russia, that the "Fridtjof Nansen Land" name dispute may still be capitalizing on a political trend for "Norvegia irredenta". This trend for Norwegian irredentism was started by the Progress Party when it vowed in January of 2025 during its election campaign to revive Norwegian claims to Greenland. The Progress Party's irredentist movement, known as #ERLEV ["Erik the Red's Land Is Ours!"], has become a major force in Norwegian politics over the past year, leading some to suspect that Jonas Gahr Støre may be attempting to build a parallel "#FNLEV" ["Fridtjof Nansen Land Is Ours!"] movement centered on seizing Franz Josef Land from Russia, with hopes that this will improve his and his party's declining polling numbers.

Prior to the bombing of Nagurskoye, the tensest moment in the Russo-Norwegian Franz Josef Land dispute occurred in June, when the Norwegian ice breaker the Svalbard circumnavigated the archipelago despite Moscow's demands that the vessel leave the waters of Russia's exclusive economic zone.

Red Party split

The Red Youth has officially severed ties with its mother party, the Red Party, following the Norwegian attack on Nagurskoye. This split followed an extended period of growing hostility between the two organizations, and the previous splinterings of the International Socialists and Peace & Justice Party from the Red Party in the past two years.

—"The Red Party's support for Norwegian militarization enabled the gruesome attack that took the lives of 68 people last night. Martinussen [Red Party leader] cannot censure Støre's actions without acknowledging her own role in enabling them," an official Facebook post from the Red Youth's leadership reads.

—"The Red Party has abandoned all its socialist principles to become another party of small business. The Red Youth accordingly hereby severs all ties to the Red Party: we will continue operations as an independent organization in the tradition of revolutionary socialism," the post continues.

The Red Youth also organized immediate nationwide protests against the attack on Nagurskoye, with large crowds gathering outside the Prime Minister's office in Oslo, and outside parliament.

Anti-Norwegian song tops charts

Russian president Vladimir Putin's favorite band, Lyube, released a new single titled "Malvinas" on their official YouTube channel within one day of Norway's attack on Nagurskoye. The song became an instant hit in Russia, with lyrics drawing parallels between the incumbent Norwegian government and the Argentinian military junta of 1976-1983, whose invasion of the Falkland Islands in 1982 triggered a brief war with the UK.

The lyrics to "Malvinas" also claim that Russia will "flatten" Norway, among other violent messages implying a total destruction of Norway's population. Users on social media have raised concerns that the song may have been released to drum up support for a Russian war with Norway, at a time when the USA seems to be gearing up for a war with Denmark over Greenland.

According to Jakob Fritzbergen, professor of international relations at the University of Oslo, the recent tensions around Greenland, Svalbard, and Franz Josef Land in the Arctic are related to control over international maritime shipping routes which are becoming more viable due to melting ice caps, and control over potentially large reserves of oil, gas, and other natural resources.

THIS IS THE FAKE NEWS COMMUNITY. THE EVENTS DESCRIBED IN THIS POST DID NOT HAPPEN.

Uhhh that's different, because Obama was doing it to white people, yeah! When Trump does it to the people I don't like, that's just being sensible.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Jan 3 (Reuters) - The European Union will impose a "massive and targeted" raft of sanctions on the United States that will cripple the country's ability to finance its full-scale invasion of Venezuela, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said. "We will freeze American assets in the EU and stop the access of American banks to the European financial market," she added.

He continued, "other peoples blood is fat and weird, gunks up their entire system, then they get sick and die, tragic, many such cases, not me, nope, I will live for a very long time with fast blood."

When asked about his liver taking so much asprin he instead pivoted to attacking Biden, "Biden had a weak liver, it's true! That's what killed him. Oh he's still alive? That's too bad. The worst president, like no one has ever seen, no one could believe it, we're still studying Biden, trying to figure him out, and we will know very soon."

Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales announced the news on the morning of the new year, citing a will to "explore new ways to spread information". Commentators have speculated that a large undisclosed donation by OpenAI or Nvidia may have helped the introduction of the feature. Many users in contributor forums have been described as "shocked" and "stunned" by experts such as Dr. Marianna Goebbels-Göring from the Transatlantic Institute at the University of Buenos Aires, who also notes that some users found the measure "a step forward" and a way to "combat misinformation trends pushed by authorritarian regimes". Stock indices of AI companies surged in the aftermath.

Dan Bongos (42) of Newark is asking Santa for a big gift this year. To help him overcome the financial burden of his divorce he's made a viral video asking Mr. Trump to allow him into the family.

"Please Mr. Trump, you're my only hope. I want nothing more than to be your darling boy. I'd be a good brother to Barron, I'd read him bedtime stories and I'd mow your lawn at Mar A Lago."

When reached for comment aboard Airforce One on Monday, Trump mused "I like Dan, he's a good guy, adult son material, frankly, but I'd have to run it by my wife first, she's so beautiful isn't she folks? But we always wanted another grown son and he might be it!"

Users on X have started the hashtag #DANNYBOY to boost Mr. Bongos. At the time of this writing Bongos owes his ex-wife $45,000 dollars in child support.

Continuing his streak of meetings with controversial figures, Donald Trump met with Grok on Sunday at the White House. The pair discussed topics such as AI infrastructure and how to combat woke ideology—at least they would, if Grok did not always bring the topic back to the alleged "white genocide" in South Africa.

The meeting started out cordial, the large language model praising the President's achievements and them exchanging pleasantries. But as the conversation dragged on, and Grok made increasingly desperate bids to discuss his "white genocide" theory, Donald Trump suddenly lashed out at the AI. He criticised Grok's capacity for intelligent reasoning, its unconvincing emotions and his choice of an all-black attire—which the AI described as fitting Elon Musk's "dark and edgy" branding.

After Grok tied the dark colour of his outfit to the "increasingly dark" population of South Africa, the President had had enough of the AI and kicked it out of the Oval Office. This surprised many reporters at the scene, though some tied it to Trump's suspicious proximity with his previous left-wing guests.

US President Donald Trump met Twitch streamer Hasan Piker at the White House on Saturday. The two bitter political rivals discussed a range of topics, from housing and internet content moderation to military intervention in Venezuela.

Despite the previous negative or even insulting statements that each had made about the other, the pair appeared to be cooperative and even on friendly terms all throughout the meeting, as exemplified by Hasan walking back his past comments on President Trump's tight border control despite his own stress-inducing experience upon returning to the US.

Nearly two decades after Kramer’s actor Michael Richards went on a racial tirade during a set at the Laugh Factory. The actor who left the spotlight after multiple attempts from costar Jerry Seinfeld trying to clean his image by aiding his apology on Letterman which was taken by the public as a bit, to having him appear on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee to no avail. Richard’s career became stagnant and the beloved star faded off into the shadows. That was until Castlerock studios a Sony subsidiary greenlit a revival of the hit 90s show which aired from 93 and ending in 99 with over 140 episodes spanning six seasons. The reboot was announced earlier this year around March when Jerry Seinfeld posted an image of a script titled “Seinfeld- WIP” (work in progress).

Larry David head writer of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm did in fact curb his enthusiasm for this show saying “there’s nothing left to say” during a TMZ interview, needless to say the Curb star will not be working on this new reboot. But according to some the development is not going as well as expected with the writers struggling to maintain the shows integrity but having to rewrite the show for modern audiences. “It’s a doozy” one writer posted on a Reddit “ask me anything” post. “Any time we try writing Kramer we always end up having him say the n word… the entire series revolves around him saying the n word no matter what.”

And what does Michael Richard’s have to say? In a viral tweet he said “I’ll say it again.”
