Randahl Fink

When The Nordic Countries met for the summit in Oslo yesterday it was called The Nordics + 1, because Canada was with us, and I simply love that.

I believe we are the countries who instinctively want to collaborate because we all grew up knowing winter is coming.

PMs From left to right:

🇮🇸 Kristrún Mjöll Frostadóttir
🇸🇪 Ulf Kristersson
🇨🇦 Mark Carney
🇳🇴 Jonas Gahr Støre
🇩🇰 Mette Frederiksen
🇫🇮 Petteri Orpo

@randahl This is 100% correct: "because we all grew up knowing winter is coming" It shapes your entire thinking about your role in the world, your existential vulnerabilities and the responsibilities you share with your neighbours. "If not I, who else?"

@randahl Good move. We need more of thr "middle countries" to join together so we can live free of the pariah states.

@randahl This is nice, but does he speak Scandinavian? (Well, actually not so sure about Orpo either.)

@kallekn the language at these meetings has always been English, so Carney feels right at home, I am sure.

@randahl Always is a very long time. It's possible the heads of governments prefer English nowadays, but not the Nordic council.

@kallekn @randahl I wouldn’t be surprised if Orpo has some Swedish.

@ArtHarg @randahl He must have _some_ since it's obligatory at school. And he has promised to improve it.

@randahl Well, now that you all found together and felt this winter coming connection... t is about time to denounce the illegal US/Israel war in Iran and recognize genocide in Gaza. Thanks

@randahl “knowing that winter is coming”: obvious if the Icelandic delegate is *literally* called “Frost’s daughter”
