My nickname (Domobran) comes from Croatian Home Guard which had been established in 1868. with Hungaro-Croatian Agreement. Home Guard has long tradition in Croatia, beginning with Middle Ages when various types of militia (insurrectio) had been used to assist in defense against the Ottomans. This tradition continued through the Habsburg Monarchy, with 1868. seeing establishment of formal Home Guard units - most famous of which was 42nd Home Guard division. My interest in World War II is, well, war in general. However, I am most familiar with war in Croatia, naval war in Pacific and Indian Ocean, and also somewhat familiar with war in the Atlantic and the Eastern front. Interest in history has also led to me writing a blog.
Btw, I was in IFOR and SFOR in 1996-1997. Our camp was in Doboj, Bosnia. We visited Eastern Croatia. Not gonna talk about the view back then but you might find some of my duty pics by using SFOR as the search word . Also visited Pula, Opatija and Dubrovnik with my parents by car in summer 1982. Loved the beaches during peace time. I also love shopping, especially music. I have some vinyls from the 1982 visit.
Paying more for gas 'n food thanks to both artificial and real shortages. Coloradostan is the Soviet Socialist Republic formerly known as Colorado.
Don't forget a lot of blame also goes to the Fed Res. Back in 2008 it had only $800 billion on its books. Now it's something like $11 trillion. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr has its consequences. You can't print fiat currency without a corresponding increase in goods. It's destruction of the fiat dollar and that's one way that "you'll be poor and you'll be happy."
I heard in the news that car fuel in the US was under one dollar per litre a while back or what scale you use. Over here it is cheap if it is 1.7€ per litre. Now it is 2,26 € per litre. At times even Diesel goes past in price. And going up. Phew!
Norway seems to have quite a load in the seabed....We unfortunately not. Norway produces 2,003,747.53 barrels per day of oil (as of 2016) ranking 13th in the world. Norway produces every year an amount equivalent to 14.2% of its total proven reserves (as of 2016). Norway exports 69% of its oil production (1,384,574 barrels per day in 2016). Norway has proven reserves equivalent to 69.0 times its annual consumption. This means that, without Net Exports, there would be about 69 years of oil left (at current consumption levels and excluding unproven reserves).
