....., and as far as Jens Stoltenberg goes. What is his background, and how did he get to where he is today?

He is the son of Thorvald Stoltenberg, the guy who brokered a peace deal when Yugoslavia was balkanized, and he was the leader of the Norwegian Labor Party's Youth Organization. Not long after that he attended a Bilderberger gathering, and before you know it he was minister of finance.

During his stint as Minister of Finance in Norway he put 49% of the state owned oil company (then Statoil, now Equinor) out on the NYSE.

By the time he became PM it was decided that the now 50 year old F-16s were to be replaced. He made sure Norway didn't buy the best fighter plane suited for its purpose, the SAAB Gripen. Not even the second best, the Euro Fighter.

After very little debate on the subject Norway bought 50 (yes, fifty) of the single most disastrous aviation project since the Spruce Goose. Lockheed Martin's F-35 (The Hindenburg was sabotaged just like the Concorde).

The question remains unanswered whether or not Dumbo promised him the Secretary General of NATO appointment as a reward for signing the F-35 contract. What do YOU think?
