Time for the next story.
The announcer of the week is called Svane Merke.
It's actually right. It's in little green and white Svane icons that are more environmentally friendly
and more vulnerable than others.
Because it can be difficult to take good decisions in a travel world,
where you can know what's most environmentally friendly or the most important to focus on,
just the climate gas emissions, or nature, plant and animals are important.
and other harmful chemicals that will be focused on.
People who are curious are not expecting you to know all of this.
It's super complicated stuff.
But at least someone has done this job for you.
Someone who knows a lot about the production and the use of which health and environment
and who makes environmental demands, who just let the whole set the best way through.
And then he draws on control visits, the factories and the way they are in the world
to check that everything is as it should be.
Because it's actually very difficult in Norway to get such a swan mark.
It's not something everyone gets.
So that's just what I said.
Everything you need to do as a consumer is not to think that it's bad for you.
You just have to look at the swan mark and then you know that you get a product that is good.
And the swan mark has put on my new impact on the whole life cycle of the product.
All the way from the market to production through the use
and what actually happens with the product when you are done with it.
You just have to be sure that the product is actually a good environmental choice.
The swan mark is the official environmental brand in the whole north
and it makes it easier to find good environmental choices for the 27 million people in Norway
who live in the north.
And for more information about environmental and agricultural products
you can find it at swanmark.no
Yes, ladies and gentlemen.
Today I'm back in the studio to tell you a little story.
We just had an episode about Marshal Öyne with Ola Bertha, who was here.
He is the future European expert on Marshal Öyne.
And it doesn't happen that much in Norwegian news when it happens to Marshal Öyne.
But now it has happened a lot on Marshal Öyne's side since 2016 in China.
So Marshal Öyne and the USA signed a new security statement
Compact of Free Association, which is the name of this statement.
They were on their way to go out and they were afraid that China
would get a big influence over the part of the city
because they would lock themselves up in Marshal Öyne.
But now it looks like the US has pulled to the longest line
So this is a new number and what it means is
I'm not sure if I'm going to tell you about this
So we're just going to talk about the drone
And then we'll hear about Ola herself
She has read about this and she has a bit of a piling with rings
Ola, Gunner, Bertha on the drone
Good day, thank you, thank you for the last time
Thank you for the last time
Do you still work for the rest of this?
I work for the BlueTuse
Yes, I think I hear better
If there are any listeners who don't hear Ola now
You can call her
There was no one here who talked to Ola
No, that's fine
I would have called you on FaceTime
But I thought it would be a bit worse
It would have been very nice for us to be here
Yes, that's it
It's nice to see people when you hear it
I promised you that we would call you
if something happened down on Marshal Öyne
And now it has happened, what has happened?
What has happened is that
over the last two weeks
more and more people have signed
the new extension
of Compact to Fly Association
So they have signed Compact number 3
That's not true, they had the first one
that was from the 80's to the 2000's
Yes
And then the one that went out now
and then the third one that started
Yes, in the 20's
Okay, what is it
What does this mean
for Marshal Öyne?
I don't think you have read it
Yes, I haven't read it
but I have read
the Compact number 3
And it means
status quo in some way
continues to have
an economic cooperation with USA
USA continues to have
what they call
security responsibility
over Marshal Öyne
that they continue to decide
which foreign ships
that are meant to be in Marshal Öyne's
color
and have
military sovereignty
over Marshal Öyne
So when you say that they can decide
which ships to be in Marshal Öyne's color
I would say that
for example the Chinese ships
are not allowed to run around there
Yes
And these ships
are military ships
Yes, that's right
So the Chinese snacks can still be heard
between your eyes
What do you remember
about how big this sea area is
It is about
2 million kW
Because what you think about Marshal Öyne
is a very small land mass
but this is a very big sea area
which in a way
makes this number a little more important
for the world economy
and the economy that might be heard
on the surface
Yes, of course
And the sea area is even bigger
because both the foreign
micronesic states and Palau
that have been going west
from Marshal Öyne
also have the same opinions
So what we are saying
is that the US
has access
to this area
that is absolutely necessary
But in Sum
which is the whole micronesic
of Marshal Öyne and Palau
all this sea area
must be a very important area
Yes
And this allows the Americans
to defend the military
against the use of strategic
equipment
Is that right?
Yes
Right
Strategic equipment
They can't do what they want
but they can
help others
Right
So what does this mean
for the simple Marshal Esra
Do you still want to move from
the US and France
as they do in the future?
We could continue with that
Now I have just said
that the status quo is important
for you
What is it? Tell
that you have had
a right to
recognize the use of money
If Marshal wants to build
a new airport
then the US can choose
if they should recognize it
Yes, that's right
So all the
overmarked, compact money
the US has had
the last word
but that is a
big economic
sovereignty is a wrong word
with the fact that money comes
from other places
but it is a big area
for the Marshal to use money
Right
It is a little
greater degree of autonomy
Yes
The money we are talking about
is a little bit of fishing
but it is also a big part of
the resources that are transferred
from the US
They are not
able to do that
How much do you talk about
in this new case now?
It is not
so good to say
I do not know
how much of
the US
is in the US
because of the
sovereignty of Taiwan
they have been up to
70%
70% of BNP
and they are
around 40%
at least
It is a very high
percentage of them
that is money
out in the future
Right, and we also talked
last time about
tax money
from the US
because as you remember
there was a period
in 1958
Yes, 1946 to 1958
They used the Marshal
as a bomb
test site
and this I mean
that the Marshal still said
that it is something that
has come into that talk
It is something that has done
that the talk has not been
done earlier
as it was done
by the government and the FSM
Do you mean the FSM
the Federation of Micronesia
Yes, the Federal Micronesian
States
They have not been
operated by a new
fund
a new fund
and the Marshal himself said
that the 700 million
that is on this fund
that we will use
for those who
continue to deal with
violations of nuclear weapons
Okay, so in this
now I'm just going to talk
free and conspiratorily, but in this
there is also
an unclear
transition from the US
to the Marshal
that they themselves choose to use
and help
their population
with nuclear weapons
so then both
the population
helps as the US
slips into the trash
Yes, you can say that
or it is important to
present the 200 million
dollars that
Marshal uses on nuclear weapons
it is money
that can
be used for other things
Absolutely, that is clear
It is on the Marshal's own
property that must be taken
for it, even if the money comes
out of it. It is a
complicated money transfer strategy
because on the one hand
it is a fund
and it should be a fund
that should be
prepared for
the Marshal on full economic
standards
and the generalization
of the state budget
where the money is just going to
increase
and then you have
the unnoticed money transfer
that also comes
to the stock
so there is a difference
between a part of the money
all the others go to the stock
and then you have the
transfer directly to
the fund
and that is going to go to the
stock market
How is the amount
in the Marshal now?
It is a
plan because
people are
those who have been to the
stock market
are unhappy because
you have not taken the responsibility
for the stock market
and one of them
has managed to
take the responsibility
so there are some needs here
but at the same time
they have four jobs
from the first time
that they would get
so the sum
is 2.3 billion dollars
that is now
on the table
they have been declared
an hour
so they are satisfied with that
and are satisfied with
the bigger role they have
in the fund
So the 2.3 billion
dollars
is an economic support
that is going to be distributed
in the next 20 years
It is a very big sum
but it costs
25 billion
but if it is going to be distributed
in the next 20 years, it is a billion year
with the stock market
so it is not that much money
but it is less than
Gustav Wittsö
Ok
So what is the status
in the stock market
now we are safe in 20 years
because
we who have never been to the US
we can feel safe
that the stock market is ours
we are not the bad guys from China
who are taking over
the idea is
the stock market is big
and the US
feels a bit safer
but at the same time
they have never seen
any alternative
that they are not going to let this happen
So how do I look
for our friends
in the sense that you see it
Do you still have to move the US?
Yes, we are
in the people's room
Yes, it is
but
they have
some small things
that they want to do
that they can live on
and then they use it
in different
cooperation with the US
there are other people
like Fiske who we talked about
where they actually
have an advantage in the US
So here are the people
who are now working in the US
Yes, even though the US
doesn't have a lot of money
they are the ones who
decide on their own money
The Americans can drive their frigates
through you, but they can't
hang out a snorkeling
No, that's not true
I understand
We have started to get a bit of an overview
We have to say that this was
positive
that the country has a number
both for the west
if we have to fight
out there
in the corner
in the open
So we are happy
We don't have to worry about this
right now in this situation
No, that's not true
and
it is very
complicated
but
it is important to remember
that the US
has a lot of trust
in the US
and is very pleased with
the cooperation they have
and they don't need
to say that this is a similar
partnership
It is very nice that they have
so good trust in the US
after they bomb them so much
in the field
Yes, already the first word
that he, the first president of the
FNC, was that he used time
That was it
It is very nice
for what we have learned
Yes, but it is nice
It is very strange
We haven't trained on long-term
changes yet, have we?
No, I don't know what to say
At least we, Anders, who is not
directly involved, have to say that
people are friends in some parts of the world
Yes, it is quite nice
How are your
Marshales days going on?
I am a bit nervous
Do you do that?
I am going to Sökervisum
And you are going to Bakke?
I am going to Bakke next year
I am driving to Sökervisum
and hope to come back
in March to study
fishing a bit more
and the cooperation they are
doing well
Fantastic, we will call you
when you are there
send us a message

It is like a swipe on the side
and a big pair of ball antennas
We will take a phone
in the middle of the night
It is fun

Marshalløyene og USA har signert ny Compact of Free Association (eller COFA , som kidsa kaller det.) For å finne ut hva dette innebærer ringer Einar til en av verdens fremste ekspert på Marshalløyene - og, ikke minst, tidligere 198 Land-gjest - Ola Gunhildsrud Berta.
