Norwegians and Sweedish are maybe the only armies and nighbours in the world that can play or joke with each others like brothers in arms. Just like this.
I think the video is hilarious. It is wonderful to see our two navies having fun with each other. Very few countries in the world are as close in language and culture as we Scandinavians. While yes it is true there may still be some resentment towards each other, it is time to get over that. We are, whether we admit it or not, the same people. Ha det bra!
You and your country are doing a lot of good stuff. I LOVE Norway :D It is the best country in Europe if you ask me. Keep up the good work :D Love from Sweden.
+bobbisixkiller Når skal dere huleboere slutte med den primitive stammementaliteten? Idioter hater for fordi de ikke har liv. Norge, Danmark, Island og Sverige sverige burde gått i union sammen siden vi deler samme kultur og samfunnsordning.
+planesrift thats fucking bull shit.. what rock have you been living under? u probably talking about the 1900 "war" between Norway and Sweden when there was a 1000 people on each side and then the commanders said that those who wanted leave could do so and then no man left the battlefield... and they did not even start to fight each other cause they looked at each other like brother witch we (Norwegians and Swedish) have done the last 2000 years as we basicly are the same people (vikings)
That article is so unserious. Yes, we bring our food to work just like we walk in the woods with rucksacks just for the walk; it’s all a part of the Norwegian culture.
Look what I wrote above. I don't know too much about this, but what I have written is just general. If you know what I mean. And my point is not to underestimate the Norwegian navy, for the amount of money we spend it's rather good and narrowed down to specifications. But it's no point in exaggerating our navy either, especially not over what is considered to be the purpose of what we got;)
Glad there aren't many of your type here in Norway. I like the Swedes :) I love the humor in this video too, and the Norwegians would be just the sort of people to not be too self-important to laugh at this ;) I know I did!
If for example Russia did this it would be a deadly provocation, and so called serious politicians that claim to be working for the best for everybody would escalate this to thermonuclear war instead of accepting it for what it is; a bunch of people having a bit of harmless fun that does not hurt anybody.
Hi! =)Hello! I'm from Norway. Norwegian vessels are often smaller than the Swedish, as we have tougher sea along the coast of Norway. Norway and Sweden are allies, and partners much politically and militarily. When it comes to schools universities and colleges, so I do not actually know. =)
Hi, here in Guatemala, the embassy of Sweden and Norway offers good scholarships, so I am planning to apply next year. I like ships and naval architecture, and I've heard good stuff about scandinavians ships, especially the Norwegian ones. Thanks for the answer, hope to visit your country soon sometime. :D
the norwegian marine has : 70 vessels, including 5 heavy frigates, 6 submarines, 14 patrol boats, 4 minesweepers, 4 minehunters, 1 mine detection vessel, 4 support vessels and 2 training vessels.
Naaah the most important reason they fall backwards is the mask cowering the eyes-face! by jumping feet first ore forwards it would fall off and or be filled with water.
Naval combat isn't either what it used to be, but I can assure you that Norway wouldn't be able to withstand attack from what would be considered potential enemies.
I was born and raised in Sweden to Swedish parents with a Swedish heritage dating back as long as there has been a documentation of Swedish people. I NOW live in Canada cause I married a Canadian woman. So much for that little tantrum of yours. Sweden rules.
Norway's military vessels may be of smaller size, but size does not matter nowadays like in ww2 and before. Norway's ships are extremely technically advanced fast and equipped with state of the art weaponry that can give a heavy punch. Basically made to defend Norwegian waters. Also a think some are stealth as well, giving a huge advantage in defending from invasions as we would rule the sea and can ambush anything trying to attack.
I'm definitely for a Nordic union except we somehow need to have Swedish politicians stay out of things and preferably revert Sweden to a previous state. We could also invite Estonia and if needed all the Baltic states + Poland + Ukraine and then we'd finally get a bunch of sane people against the retarded Swedish politicians and more of a safety in political outcome there ;D Also no need for EU or NATO.
Norway is at 5th place in biggest navy , here im talking about Intustrial ships , ship building , offshore rigging and overall transport , the Military Marine is fairly large.
I get your point. Just trying to point out that our navy can bite hard against anyone who would dare try to invade. Naturally, if fighting an enemy such as USA or Russia, it would be problematic to win as we would be too outnumbered for any advantage we have to make any big difference. But that's why are are in NATO...
Sweden and finland have become the two strongest rivals in scandinavia. Its funny when you argue to someone at work or school about whos the best country at sports.
The people fighting in this comment section on which country is the best (Norway vs Sweden) They are all just complete fools and do not deserve to live in these 2 great nations. Sweden and Norway have high respect and brotherly love for eachother as shown in this video. Stop fighting over this complete bullshit as it is absolutely meaningless. Congratz btw you just missed the entire point of the video. I have always loved Norway as a Swede and will always do until the day i die. Same goes for Finland. Long live the north. -Current soldier in "Försvarsmakten" aka the Swedish military in Sweden. Happy times to yall.
Actually, GB is a part of Scandinavia too. Just a small FYI ;) That aside; I love how Norway & Sweden always have this healthy competition and "fighting" over every little thing, it's almost a form of sibling rivalry. xD -Chuckles from Norway =3
And it would certainly work! Especially Denmark, Norway and Sweden! The only difference is probably our language, which we understand quite well, it's just like entering another city where they got a whole another dialect you just have to get used to, and when you get used to the language, theres nothing to stop! Scandinavia imo should be a whole country itself. Love from norway!
Neighbourly fun between two good friends (brothers). On a more serious note: Sweden really wimped out in WW2. They not only refused to fight. But they let the Germans pass through their country to attack Norway from several positions. That was not brotherly. Norwegians fought four their lives in WW2 and gave the Germans a good fight. Danes too chickened out and refused to fight for their country. I'm surprised this is forgotten... Wimps.
Maybe you should take a few history lessons before you start spouting untruths. Norway only fought because they were attacked and their country was defensible due to its mountainous terrain. Sweden was not attacked and Denmark is too flat to defend against a superior enemy. On the morning of the 9th of April 1940, the German invasion fleet was already in the Oslofjord. Not a single German soldier crossed Swedish territory during that invasion.
You clearly don´t know history, Sweden forced Norway in to a Union in 1814 and the Union dissolved in 1905 in peaceful negotiations, everyone know that Norway would not be able to win a war against Sweden in 1905. This is why the Nobel peace prize is handed out in Norway instead of Sweden because of the peaceful outcome.
Germany wanted to send troops through sweden during the invasion, but sweden refused. Neither weapons nor ammo crossed into norway before the surrender. After the surrender germany asked again, and sweden allowed these transfers. During the invasion, only food, medicine and civilian personnel were transported through sweden. There was one exception, where something like 10 soldiers posing as medics were transferred. They were unarmed. You should thank the germans and the swedes. They went to the trouble of sending military supplies and reinforcements through finland instead. Imagine that detour. The finnish gladly accepted german help since they were under attack by the soviet union at the time. Swedes also provided volounteer support to finland. Sweden was neutral during the war, and could not do much else without risking getting dragged into the war, and without sweden there would have been no safe haven for refugees. We are paying for that now. Thanks to the germans, you do not have nearly the same problems.
Sweden and Norway same people different countries. Norway was a part of Sweden tough, I like Norway beautiful county and rich as shit and a nice language. But will always be Swedens little brother. If Sweden would of recognized the value of Norway back then Sweden would of prosper. But back then Norway was a useless country that no one wanted lol. Swedish fail.
If it hadn't been for those damn unions Norway would have been the biggest country in Scandinavia :( We were just too few back then.. Did you know that 1/8 of todays Sweden actually belonged to Sweden but were given to Sweden by Denmark? :P And Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland and major sea areas of Denmark and Sweden actually belonged to Norway too? But we can't stay mad at our brothers. :)
***** We were given to Sweden by the other Europians from Denmark, Sweden never owned it, it was an union until Norway got their own king.. The real royal familie of Norway from the viking age were killed long before this.. And what made Norway independent was that they found themselves a king, so why would Norway thank Sweden?
1.37....the swedish soldier says: "shit that was close!!! I am sure thats under a half meter.". Norway and Sweden...brothers...but remember ...Sweden do not support Norway during the second world war..
And Norwegian military didnt help Finland during the cold war so dont act like you have a clean sheet when it comes to helping other brother nations in war. and + Norway stayed neutral untill they got attacked by the Germans, im sure that Norway would have done the same thing to Sweden if the nazis attacked Sweden instead of Norway.
Paul You obviously do not do your research, sorry snowflake but facts are more valued than feelings. Sweden cracked the German code (Radio code) and could listen to what they said, when talking about the invasion Sweden then warned Norway. They also had 3000 Volunteering Soldiers help fend against the Germans.
Sure, we may have faster ships than our Swedish brothers, but Sweden's navy is bigger and more powerful than ours. Meaning we'd beat Sweden in a race, but not in warfare.
Large navis aren't a necessity for a country to function and have a high standard of living. For nordic, and quite frankly most european countries, NATO negates the need for large militaries due to the fact pretty much all aggression towards the alliance is deterred. For Norway and Sweden, a small navy is all that is required for border security, anything much larger would be a bit of a waste of resources.
@LundaGrabben3: You could never be sure of anything, but during studies of the bullet whole in his scull etc several historians have concluded he was shot by a cannon loaded with "Drue skudd"...dont know the english word, but the cannon was filled with evrything from spikes to bullets and so on, to make an old fashion shotgun. The distance would also be correct and so on. Hide in our fortresses? Sweden has several fortresses too, what do you think they were made for?
Hi there, seems like someone slept in class :O Could you please provide me with a source for GB being a part of Scandinavia? I know that NO, SE and DK was the definition of Scandinavia, did GB join us this year? Thanks for sharing the vid btw :)
@Dudeliduu "KPMG, the international accounting and consulting firm, cast light on this paradox. It indicated that when disposable income was adjusted for cost of living, Scandinavians were the poorest people in Western Europe. Danes had the lowest adjusted income, Norwegians the second lowest, Swedes the third. Spain and Portugal, with two of Europe's least regulated economies, led the list." You need to understand that while per capita earnings are high in Norway, so are taxes and living costs.
Yes, but there is still no country mentioned. Vikings are vikings as Marcus says, you still don't know specificly where they came from. There is a west coastline in sweden aswell. I am sure that there were som danish and swedish vikings with the norwegian vikings when they were in the United Kingdom for an example.
@borgunvaag The quality issues with the nansen class has been sorted out for a long time ago, and the facts behund the issue is the spanions didnt make the hull strong enough for artic conditions. So the ships had to be strenghten, and thats sorted out. At first they made some problems regarding this, but as i said, the problem is resolved. Its a shame though, that we didnt choose the norwegian built alternative, like before. But the navy wanted AEGIS, and it was cheaper than a norwegian alt.
@Gillefull Actually Denmark was the first to do that. Norway, come from the trading rute along the western coastline of Norway, meaning the north way. At the end of the 800 century Harald Hårfagre started to consolidate the lands in western norway, or the north way. Several hundred years later, the land we today call Norway was consolidated.
@Arnebananlolo Im talking about all the wars Sweden had against Denmark-Norway when Sweden invaded Norway, Norway never took the risk to face the Swedish army on an open battlefield and instead focused on guerilla warfare against the Swedish supply lines. Denmark however made the mistake to put up their armies against the Swedish ones many times.
@objectivepac Also, the King in Norway was not scared of the nobility as Kings could be in other countries, since in Norway the nobility did not have large fortresses with a big army. In Norway the only military they had was controlled by the king and was called: The laidangen. Which was basically farmers around Norway which have to (in war times) go out of their houses, get some weapons and fight for the king. When the black plague came and killed around the 50% or the norwegian population
And btw, if you ever think to visit Latin America once, you are more than welcome here in Guatemala. Many Norwegian and Swedish folks visit Antigua Guatemala and Panajachel, and stay here for a good time to learn spanish and party, they both are safe places and we are very warm people. Thanks buddy, you are a cool person. I thought Europeans were cold, but certainly not the nordics. :D
@anttonoo Best army? That depends on a lot of factors, most importantly terrain. For example swedish soldiers will have most their training in urban and woodland terrains. In a mountaineous region they wouldn't stand a chance against Norwegian forces. Sweden relies more on armor and armor is less than useless in mountains and very dense forests. In pure numbers on tanks, choppers etc Sweden is way ahead. But no two armies can be compared so easily as both will be best on their home turf.
@mx6dk Fail. Norway was Swedish for 91 years. Norway was Danish for 278 years. Before that Norway was in the Kalmarunion. Before this Norway was a country for a few hundred years before entering the Kalmarunion. But you are right in saying Norway has not been in a modern country for more then 105 years. Anyway Norway has done some fighting during 105 years. Check out WW2, and their military activities in NATO.While in union with Denmark, Norway also fought but under Danish leadership.
Well the norwegian navy's Nansen Class frigates and the Stealth MTB has the same destructive force as the Nansen. I'm not saying our navy is better but Norway just upgraded the entire navy, army and airforce so we should be comparable now =)
Also I can share with you a cool story I came over, told by a direct witness. In a war training simulation a Norwegian ship managed to sneak up on the Americans gaining a direct shot to the reactor of a CV. Had it been a real war it would be bye, bye American carrier and bye, bye American air superiority in the area. So don't underestimate Norwegian armed forces, they are based on quality and not quantity!
@evilblades Som F16 har hatt i Norsk tjeneste? Isåfall sier det ikke så mye.. Jeg forutsetter også at Norge faktisk skal kjøpe nye jagerfly, og at det står mellom JSF og Svenske fly. Det er vel heller ikke uvanlig at nye høyteknologiske produkter har problemer i startfasen.
@richter75 I apologise, I had ignored the ammunition aspect. Also may I ask, how on Earth is per capita important in this field? I have noticed many people from smaller nations use 'per capita' as their lower populations drive the value up. Largest arms exporter by capita is a meaningless title. Just like military spending per capita. Per capita is HEAVILY skewed by population. My point is just... "per capita Norway is the worlds largest arms exporter." is meaningless.
I'm not saying it would be a needed addition to the already existing export... but it sure would have been an nice addition... It's amazing how much more income you could get if you controlled almost the entire scandinavian shoreline.
i know that. it appears i was wrong about what i said and i appologize, but even though finland is not officially a part of scandinavia, it has always been that way for me and most people i know.
Rune stones aren't some sort of currency for Viking identity. You must be mad if you are actually trying to argue that Norway has no viking heritage. The very icon of Viking culture is the viking ship, and that field stood very strong in the Norwegian and Danish cultures and is probably the number one reason why Vikings are known today.
And no, norwegians soldiers did not fight in the main battles, they fought the swedes in Norway, and some rides in to Västra Götland, the purpose was to take some of the pressure upon the danish army away, by distracting the swedes. However, all the famous sea battles was fought by mainly norwegians. You could say it this way, the army consisted moast of danes, the navy of norwegians. However, norwegian soldiers were gathered to defend norway, and make rides to distract the swedes, as told.
I know that ;) You know that during a time, norway, england and south sweden belonged to denmark. I am just saying that it is hard to say that just norwegian vikings were in the uk. According to swedish rune, 32 tells about trips in the east and 26 tells about trips in the west.. And it were different geographically..
@Dudeliduu Incorrect, your per capita earning BEFORE tax and costs is higher than ours. Your disposable income is actually lower (money left once tax and costs are taken from salary). Richer no, demonstrably not. Higher quality of life yes and better health yes but certainly not richer (perhaps look for countries by disposable income or a KPMG study about this information, message me if you want links). I notice many Norwegians talk about per capita income as if it's actual earnings.
i'm norwegian and i've grown up with people saying that dinland is: norway sweden denmark and finland. i don't have sources but i doubt i'll have problems finding them.
@mrgeorgeallison I question the kpmg research. How did they measure? It’s in the end all about method. A study can give whatever results you want depending on factors. How correctly did the freelancer in NYT interpret this report? Houses in Oslo are very cheap compared to houses in London, but goods like beer is very expensive over here. People consume different baskets of goods in different countries.
I love the scream of panic from the Norwegian navy before they clash with the awesome power provided by the Swedish battleships...be afraid America, be very afraid
@mrgeorgeallison I think we are talking about personal disposable income. Lets say you have 80000$ in disposable income in the US. You have to spend a huge amount of this money on health insurance unlike in Norway where the government pays the insurance “thanks” to the high tax cap. So 80000$ here is not the same as 80000$ there that’s why it would be interesting to see how much the average Norwegian gets of different goods like those I mentioned in a earlier post or is that what dis inc shows?

I had so much pleasure with Fabodjentan, I love my neighbours
wheres laeffy
There are no better neighbors than the Norwegian. Love from Sweden
NZ's pretty good too...
Brotherly love
This really just shows how much we are like siblings. We wouldn't ever kill eachother but we sure would use a watergun.
Call in NATO! Sweden has clearly fired upon Norwegian NATO soldiers with water cannons! Time to blow some dust from the Super Soakers and respond.
its the other way around mate
nope the swedes are the ones using the water hose, this is filmed from a swedish navy ship.
I can't remember writing that :/
dont comment when you are drunk :)
lol
I think the video is hilarious. It is wonderful to see our two navies having fun with each other. Very few countries in the world are as close in language and culture as we Scandinavians. While yes it is true there may still be some resentment towards each other, it is time to get over that. We are, whether we admit it or not, the same people. Ha det bra!
You and your country are doing a lot of good stuff. I LOVE Norway :D It is the best country in Europe if you ask me. Keep up the good work :D Love from Sweden.
Nest after Sweden 😊of course
Some swedish and norwegian people hate each other... I don't know why. I am norwegian, and I think Sweden is fucking amazing. Vikings ftw!
Vikings are from Norweigan too -.-
Huh? Wtf are you saying
Uhm what
I agree i am from norway but i like sweden, they way better prices snd candy XD
Im a half danish-half norwegian, I know these are the same actually :P I just want to say that jeg elsker kære Sverige også!
Real cool vid. Served with the Swedes for a week while i was in the Norwegian bataljon in South Lebanon, nice guys with pro attitude. Thumbs up.
i am swedish and i love norway love how they speak
😂🥰
You know, I've always thought that if so many different nations didn't waste time hating each other, we'd play a lot better games...
it wasnt like this like a hundred years ago. they used to hate each others.

It took me almost half an hour to find this video again🤣 hallå från Skåne🇸🇪 undrar vad danskarna hade tyckt om samma sak hände dom?😅
That article is so unserious. Yes, we bring our food to work just like we walk in the woods with rucksacks just for the walk; it’s all a part of the Norwegian culture.
love how friendly we are to each other =D

Many countries can strike a balance, speed is irrelevant when proper countermeasures are used. Speed can't stop a missile or torpedo.
If for example Russia did this it would be a deadly provocation, and so called serious politicians that claim to be working for the best for everybody would escalate this to thermonuclear war instead of accepting it for what it is; a bunch of people having a bit of harmless fun that does not hurt anybody.
This might be called : Scandinavian border confrontation for real !
I love this! True fun scandinavian love to eachother.
Hi! =)Hello! I'm from Norway.
Norwegian vessels are often smaller than the Swedish, as we have tougher sea along the coast of Norway. Norway and Sweden are allies, and partners much politically and militarily.
When it comes to schools universities and colleges, so I do not actually know. =)
Closest close pass done by the norwegians :) I miss the time down in lebanon..
Hi, here in Guatemala, the embassy of Sweden and Norway offers good scholarships, so I am planning to apply next year. I like ships and naval architecture, and I've heard good stuff about scandinavians ships, especially the Norwegian ones. Thanks for the answer, hope to visit your country soon sometime. :D
Maybe it was a race? in that case Norway FTW
the norwegian marine has : 70 vessels, including 5 heavy frigates, 6 submarines, 14 patrol boats, 4 minesweepers, 4 minehunters, 1 mine detection vessel, 4 support vessels and 2 training vessels.
Why do scuba divers always fall backwards out of boats?
It's because if they fell forwards, they'd still be in the boat.
Naaah the most important reason they fall backwards is the mask cowering the eyes-face!
by jumping feet first ore forwards it would fall off and or be filled with water.
Naval combat isn't either what it used to be, but I can assure you that Norway wouldn't be able to withstand attack from what would be considered potential enemies.
LMAO THAT WAS A TYPICAL ACT FROM THE SWEDES
Nickfan korven the Swedes are filming it was Norway driving close 👊👍
I was born and raised in Sweden to Swedish parents with a Swedish heritage dating back as long as there has been a documentation of Swedish people.
I NOW live in Canada cause I married a Canadian woman. So much for that little tantrum of yours.
Sweden rules.
I was expecting a mooning
Norway's military vessels may be of smaller size, but size does not matter nowadays like in ww2 and before. Norway's ships are extremely technically advanced fast and equipped with state of the art weaponry that can give a heavy punch. Basically made to defend Norwegian waters. Also a think some are stealth as well, giving a huge advantage in defending from invasions as we would rule the sea and can ambush anything trying to attack.
Love you sweden. Lets unite
fredrik2k3k no
I'm definitely for a Nordic union except we somehow need to have Swedish politicians stay out of things and preferably revert Sweden to a previous state. We could also invite Estonia and if needed all the Baltic states + Poland + Ukraine and then we'd finally get a bunch of sane people against the retarded Swedish politicians and more of a safety in political outcome there ;D
Also no need for EU or NATO.
@ haha true
Norway is at 5th place in biggest navy , here im talking about Intustrial ships , ship building , offshore rigging and overall transport , the Military Marine is fairly large.
The swedes are the best neighbours ever!

Are you quarrelling?
Please do not fight. (>_
Brothers will always quarrel - it's just good fun.
The only neighbours in the norths that CAN actually understand eachother from time to time 😅❤

Same goes for Finland. Long live the north.

-Chuckles from Norway =3
Norway are best!!!!!!!
Like?
I love Norway, I dislike "like hunters".
And it would certainly work! Especially Denmark, Norway and Sweden! The only difference is probably our language, which we understand quite well, it's just like entering another city where they got a whole another dialect you just have to get used to, and when you get used to the language, theres nothing to stop!

Kemas And how is Norway a free country again? Did they not rebel against Sweden or Denmark to become a free country again you dumbass
Kemas Let free how? Norway did not want to be a union with sweden so they rebelled and left the union and sweden could not stop norway from leaving.

Norway was never a part of Sweden, we had a union with Swedish rulers.

***** We were given to Sweden by the other Europians from Denmark, Sweden never owned it, it was an union until Norway got their own king.. The real royal familie of Norway from the viking age were killed long before this.. And what made Norway independent was that they found themselves a king, so why would Norway thank Sweden?
Im Norwegian and u are damn right haha
Good vid, nice to see them having a laugh
1.37....the swedish soldier says: "shit that was close!!! I am sure thats under a half meter.".
Norway and Sweden...brothers...but remember ...Sweden do not support
Norway during the second world war..
Oskar Herward You're a kid, you don't know shit.
And Norwegian military didnt help Finland during the cold war so dont act like you have a clean sheet when it comes to helping other brother nations in war. and + Norway stayed neutral untill they got attacked by the Germans, im sure that Norway would have done the same thing to Sweden if the nazis attacked Sweden instead of Norway.
toby good shit toby you a real one
Paul You obviously do not do your research, sorry snowflake but facts are more valued than feelings.
Sweden cracked the German code (Radio code) and could listen to what they said, when talking about the invasion Sweden then warned Norway.
They also had 3000 Volunteering Soldiers help fend against the Germans.
Im sorry but at the time we did not have the manpower or equipment to fight a war. I mean why fight a war that you cant win?
Sure, we may have faster ships than our Swedish brothers, but Sweden's navy is bigger and more powerful than ours. Meaning we'd beat Sweden in a race, but not in warfare.
These countries have navy's? haha that's so cute.
Noone cares about you kid.
***** less than average*
Large navis aren't a necessity for a country to function and have a high standard of living. For nordic, and quite frankly most european countries, NATO negates the need for large militaries due to the fact pretty much all aggression towards the alliance is deterred.
For Norway and Sweden, a small navy is all that is required for border security, anything much larger would be a bit of a waste of resources.
Average Joe They also have an actual working health system. Unlike certain places.
charlesl7 its working too much and we are wasting money. we are giving away free child support from the state to people who dont even live in norway
@LundaGrabben3: You could never be sure of anything, but during studies of the bullet whole in his scull etc several historians have concluded he was shot by a cannon loaded with "Drue skudd"...dont know the english word, but the cannon was filled with evrything from spikes to bullets and so on, to make an old fashion shotgun. The distance would also be correct and so on. Hide in our fortresses? Sweden has several fortresses too, what do you think they were made for?
Also a BB would basically be just a bigger and slower target for the Norwegian navy, so I don't see the problem.

Hi there, seems like someone slept in class :O Could you please provide me with a source for GB being a part of Scandinavia? I know that NO, SE and DK was the definition of Scandinavia, did GB join us this year?
Thanks for sharing the vid btw :)
Hahahahahaaahahaaaaha, only some friendly "hello" between Vikings! ❤ from Sweden
@Dudeliduu "KPMG, the international accounting and consulting firm, cast light on this paradox. It indicated that when disposable income was adjusted for cost of living, Scandinavians were the poorest people in Western Europe. Danes had the lowest adjusted income, Norwegians the second lowest, Swedes the third. Spain and Portugal, with two of Europe's least regulated economies, led the list." You need to understand that while per capita earnings are high in Norway, so are taxes and living costs.
Yes, but there is still no country mentioned. Vikings are vikings as Marcus says, you still don't know specificly where they came from. There is a west coastline in sweden aswell. I am sure that there were som danish and swedish vikings with the norwegian vikings when they were in the United Kingdom for an example.
@StLucifer85 yeah? And the jas 39 gripen kills the killing machine. Which one is the better killer?
@borgunvaag The quality issues with the nansen class has been sorted out for a long time ago, and the facts behund the issue is the spanions didnt make the hull strong enough for artic conditions. So the ships had to be strenghten, and thats sorted out. At first they made some problems regarding this, but as i said, the problem is resolved. Its a shame though, that we didnt choose the norwegian built alternative, like before. But the navy wanted AEGIS, and it was cheaper than a norwegian alt.
@Gillefull Actually Denmark was the first to do that. Norway, come from the trading rute along the western coastline of Norway, meaning the north way. At the end of the 800 century Harald Hårfagre started to consolidate the lands in western norway, or the north way. Several hundred years later, the land we today call Norway was consolidated.
@Arnebananlolo Im talking about all the wars Sweden had against Denmark-Norway when Sweden invaded Norway, Norway never took the risk to face the Swedish army on an open battlefield and instead focused on guerilla warfare against the Swedish supply lines. Denmark however made the mistake to put up their armies against the Swedish ones many times.
@objectivepac Also, the King in Norway was not scared of the nobility as Kings could be in other countries, since in Norway the nobility did not have large fortresses with a big army. In Norway the only military they had was controlled by the king and was called: The laidangen. Which was basically farmers around Norway which have to (in war times) go out of their houses, get some weapons and fight for the king. When the black plague came and killed around the 50% or the norwegian population
And btw, if you ever think to visit Latin America once, you are more than welcome here in Guatemala. Many Norwegian and Swedish folks visit Antigua Guatemala and Panajachel, and stay here for a good time to learn spanish and party, they both are safe places and we are very warm people. Thanks buddy, you are a cool person. I thought Europeans were cold, but certainly not the nordics. :D
@anttonoo Best army? That depends on a lot of factors, most importantly terrain. For example swedish soldiers will have most their training in urban and woodland terrains. In a mountaineous region they wouldn't stand a chance against Norwegian forces. Sweden relies more on armor and armor is less than useless in mountains and very dense forests. In pure numbers on tanks, choppers etc Sweden is way ahead. But no two armies can be compared so easily as both will be best on their home turf.
hahaha...jævlig bra video :) Fy faen så nærme de var, 1 meter?
I think the Norwegians just went so close because they were looking for the Continium Transfunctioner! =D
@mx6dk Fail. Norway was Swedish for 91 years. Norway was Danish for 278 years. Before that Norway was in the Kalmarunion. Before this Norway was a country for a few hundred years before entering the Kalmarunion. But you are right in saying Norway has not been in a modern country for more then 105 years. Anyway Norway has done some fighting during 105 years. Check out WW2, and their military activities in NATO.While in union with Denmark, Norway also fought but under Danish leadership.
Just Vikings having fun. 🇳🇴🇸🇪
Sweden+Norway, brothers forever!
Well the norwegian navy's Nansen Class frigates and the Stealth MTB has the same destructive force as the Nansen. I'm not saying our navy is better but Norway just upgraded the entire navy, army and airforce so we should be comparable now =)
Also I can share with you a cool story I came over, told by a direct witness. In a war training simulation a Norwegian ship managed to sneak up on the Americans gaining a direct shot to the reactor of a CV. Had it been a real war it would be bye, bye American carrier and bye, bye American air superiority in the area. So don't underestimate Norwegian armed forces, they are based on quality and not quantity!
Hahaha, the sibiling fighting amongst swedes and norse are always funny. Brotherly love. Long live Scandinavia!
@evilblades Som F16 har hatt i Norsk tjeneste? Isåfall sier det ikke så mye.. Jeg forutsetter også at Norge faktisk skal kjøpe nye jagerfly, og at det står mellom JSF og Svenske fly. Det er vel heller ikke uvanlig at nye høyteknologiske produkter har problemer i startfasen.
@richter75 I apologise, I had ignored the ammunition aspect. Also may I ask, how on Earth is per capita important in this field? I have noticed many people from smaller nations use 'per capita' as their lower populations drive the value up. Largest arms exporter by capita is a meaningless title. Just like military spending per capita. Per capita is HEAVILY skewed by population. My point is just... "per capita Norway is the worlds largest arms exporter." is meaningless.
I'm not saying it would be a needed addition to the already existing export... but it sure would have been an nice addition...
It's amazing how much more income you could get if you controlled almost the entire scandinavian shoreline.
i know that. it appears i was wrong about what i said and i appologize, but even though finland is not officially a part of scandinavia, it has always been that way for me and most people i know.
Finland was a large and important part of Sweden for 700 years up until 1809. Sadly that is slowly getting forgotten in both countries.
Rune stones aren't some sort of currency for Viking identity. You must be mad if you are actually trying to argue that Norway has no viking heritage. The very icon of Viking culture is the viking ship, and that field stood very strong in the Norwegian and Danish cultures and is probably the number one reason why Vikings are known today.
@richter75 I also feel I should point out the SIPRI figures are more up to date and comprehensive than the 2005 UN figures.
Great to se them have fun together ;) / from Sweden.
And no, norwegians soldiers did not fight in the main battles, they fought the swedes in Norway, and some rides in to Västra Götland, the purpose was to take some of the pressure upon the danish army away, by distracting the swedes. However, all the famous sea battles was fought by mainly norwegians. You could say it this way, the army consisted moast of danes, the navy of norwegians. However, norwegian soldiers were gathered to defend norway, and make rides to distract the swedes, as told.
I know that ;) You know that during a time, norway, england and south sweden belonged to denmark. I am just saying that it is hard to say that just norwegian vikings were in the uk.
According to swedish rune, 32 tells about trips in the east and 26 tells about trips in the west..
And it were different geographically..
@StLucifer85 The boxer is probably the better? Doesnt change the fact that the JAS is better than the MIG
@Dudeliduu Incorrect, your per capita earning BEFORE tax and costs is higher than ours. Your disposable income is actually lower (money left once tax and costs are taken from salary). Richer no, demonstrably not. Higher quality of life yes and better health yes but certainly not richer (perhaps look for countries by disposable income or a KPMG study about this information, message me if you want links). I notice many Norwegians talk about per capita income as if it's actual earnings.
i'm norwegian and i've grown up with people saying that dinland is: norway sweden denmark and finland. i don't have sources but i doubt i'll have problems finding them.
@mrgeorgeallison I question the kpmg research. How did they measure? It’s in the end all about method. A study can give whatever results you want depending on factors. How correctly did the freelancer in NYT interpret this report? Houses in Oslo are very cheap compared to houses in London, but goods like beer is very expensive over here. People consume different baskets of goods in different countries.
I love the scream of panic from the Norwegian navy before they clash with the awesome power provided by the Swedish battleships...be afraid America, be very afraid
Nu är de raggmunk
@jpastuch correction, just visit Norway and you will get everything those other contrys have to offer just with no bad sides
I love Finland your Hakkapeliitta made Sweden victorius many times.
@mrgeorgeallison I think we are talking about personal disposable income. Lets say you have 80000$ in disposable income in the US. You have to spend a huge amount of this money on health insurance unlike in Norway where the government pays the insurance “thanks” to the high tax cap. So 80000$ here is not the same as 80000$ there that’s why it would be interesting to see how much the average Norwegian gets of different goods like those I mentioned in a earlier post or is that what dis inc shows?
