Put this in the ‘how far can we stretch a narrative’ file.
According to multiple sources, Ukraine is running out of ammunition in the war against Russia. However, according to Newsweek who is pushing the message from the Nordic Ammunition Supply Company, TikTok cat videos are to blame. Yes, you read that correctly…
(Newsweek) – One of Europe’s largest ammunition manufacturers has said it’s unable to expand to meet new quotas and respond to Ukraine’s increased demand because a nearby data center is using up all the electricity in the central Norway region to store TikTok videos.
The Norwegian group Nordic Ammunition Company, better known as Nammo, told the U.K. newspaper Financial Times that there’s no surplus of energy for its Raufoss plant, where the new factory was planned.
The electricity of the region is being used up by a data center whose bigger client is TikTok. The embattled social-media platform has come under increased scrutiny in the U.S. for its ties with China. “We are concerned because we see our future growth is challenged by the storage of cat videos,” Nammo chief executive Morten Brandtzæg told the newspaper.
Local energy provider Elvia confirmed to the Financial Times that the network has no electricity to spare, and that the energy is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Should Nammo require more energy, it will take time to make this available to the ammunition manufacturer. (read more)
Europeans must immediately stop watching cat videos, in order to protect Ukraine.
ZeroHedge has more information about the ammunition shortage:
[…] The very fact that Ukraine is out of ammunition proves that the West’s defeat in its self-declared “race of logistics” with Russia might already be a fait accompli by this point since it’s clear that Kiev can’t keep pace with its opponent despite being backed by all of NATO’s military-industrial capacity. Zelensky almost certainly didn’t realize that his candid admission essentially amounted to this, but it’s presently unclear whether the MSM will inform their audience about this or not.
On the one hand, doing so could contribute to his forthcoming begging campaign, but it could also backfire if taxpayers start asking whether it’s worth ponying up even more money if Ukraine already ran out of ammo despite the over $100 billion in aid that it’s received thus far. After all, if that astronomical sum wasn’t enough to keep their guns firing, then there’s no telling how much will be needed for Kiev to reconquer more of its lost territory like it intends to do.

TikTok the “Excalibur” of our time!
If TikTok ends that hideous war that we provoked, I say good.
We live in a dumb and absurd time.
We certainly do. Could we get any dumber – is it possible? Nowadays nothing is too absurd.
Absurd doesnt quite do it justice. 😉
It is jaw dropping, the amount of propaganda and idiocy being put forth by these clowns. Its even more disturbing, that any human being believes 1 word out of the mouths of Western Governments.
We are in a virtual Idiocracy. That movie became real! 😉
The dog ate my homework . . .
Did that story come from The Babylon Bee?
I’ll read more before posting.
Funny you mention that movie. It was comedy and when I saw it I couldn’t help but wonder if that could actually happen. I figured out the answer pretty quick. The answer is HELL NO!! We will be dead or conquered long before we get to watering the crops with Brawndo. We are certainly on our way but will eventually reap our form of the Darwin Award before we make it. Love Mike Judge always has a great storyline and a good moral fabric behind it.
The answer is HELL NO!! We will be dead or conquered long before we get to watering the crops with Brawndo.
But… but… but it’s got electrolytes!
I see stupid evil people everywhere ….it’s like a contagion.
“Life is tough , but it is tougher if you are stupid” : John Wayne
This is nonsensical; harebrained, preposterous and only a tomfool would buy into.
Karine Jean Pierre will prove you correct by endorsing it soon.
Less so when you realize (whether you want to or not) that online businesses can wield more economic power than “real” industries.
This is a purely political bit of warfare. China did not have to locate their server farms right next to an important planned ammunition factory in a region known to be short of power. In point of fact, server farms can be put anywhere on the planet with power and a good connection to the internet backbones.
Tik Tok for the Nobel peace prize!
Well … evidently … the ChiComs are world leaders in Peace Agreements?
Tic Tok has become quite the underground source for that which is being banned elsewhere FWIW….
Think that might be the reason?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH! Just when we thought they couldn’t get anymore ridiculous, one of the warmongering EU nations says “Hold my beer, watch this!”.
I’m thinking of getting a burner phone just to load Tik Tok on it.
And why wouldn’t there be plenty of energy for everyone, all needs? Oh, that’s right, moving from ample fossil fuels to limited renewable energy sources. That and BRANDON BLOWED UP NS2! Got it. Well done!!!
Norway is a growing economy, unlike many in the world, because they have abundant energy and are not only using it but exporting it as well. They are not following the Build Back Broke agenda.
Maybe they should thought of this, BEFORE they blew up Nordstream.
Taken even further,,maybe should have thought of this, before touting “Globalism” as the way to avoid wars, because countries that trade, don’t war with each other” and then outsourcing all of your key industries to your geopolitical foes?
But hey, these people are the SMART ones, that are going to take over the World?
Noticed the big word to me, “planned”, says they just not might get it built really quick.
How long can the emperor walk around with no clothes before a reality check hits hard!
These childish, juvenile ‘answers’ and fantasy narratives reveal how far down the rabbit hole the swamp masters and their media extensions have sunk.
I doubt they believe any of their own explanations on any subject, but they have taken the political art of ‘spinning’ to the Twilight Zone.
Sadly, contempt for the intelligence of the sleeping masses seems reaffirmed each time. An objective media would rip these yarns to shreds. Instead they just spread the nonsense as directed.
Matrix, I must say, I enjoy your writing style.
Thank you,

The Emperor keeps stepping on his own d*ck, and getting it caught in doors, etc.
Signs that even the most indoctrinated liberals are starting to leave the reservation, and THEY just keep chuning out these absurd narratives.
They shouldn’t have sold a bunch of it to Iran
They likely didn’t sell it, it was stolen then sold. Similar to the billions already sent to that shithole country. No audits on anything. The kenyan’s pals are doing really well with this scam
I had read that some Ukrainian biker gangs were stealing it. Like Biden, I don’t think the Nekkid dancing President would let it happen without getting his cut
Absurdity of the tiktok narrative notwithstanding, “no electricity to spare, and that the energy is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis” might just be the buried lead.
so if they somehow are supplied with the extra electric power…at the cost of American taxpayers…NAMMO will begin the process of building and equipping their potential plant…and the staffing and commencing operations…building up an inventory of sizable enough quantity to ship to the Ukrainian battle-fields in time to have an impact? You pro-Ukraine twits are simpletons!
of course…not necessarily aimed at you 2CUPS
Europeans who have any understanding of WW2, should be very Leary of having munitions plants anywhere near their abodes.
The bombing of WW2 in Europe, wasn’t just about taking out the factory, which can easily be rebuilt, it was about taking out the workers, and their families.
NIMBY, big time.
How can an army POSSIBLY run through $100 BILLION in armaments, it’s absurd.
Then Europeans just need to look in their mirrors and they will behold the “pussy” cats…they don’t need to view online!
Another deep plot of MAGA supporters no doubt?
Ukraine short of ammunition?
According to what I’m reading, we’re not far behind them.
And this is what a kakistocracy looks like.
“we’re not far behind them….”
Might we even be ahead of them, since much of our military inventory has been shipped to Ukraine?…at least what wasn’t left in Afghanistan…
Here’s your answer, Sharon.
https://www.businessinsider.com/white-house-budget-missiles-munitions-stores-depleted-aid-to-ukraine-2023-3
Afghanistan was left loaded.
When the Child-Toucher Administration shockingly kept its word and bombed NordStream, they did so with Norway’s help.
After the Terrorist Bombing, the US and Norway replaced Germany’s supply of Russian gas with US and Norwegian $upplies.
IF NORWAY LACKS ENERGY SUPPLIES TO MAKE AMMO FOR UKRAINE, IT IS OF THEIR OWN DOING.
Sounds like an excuse for the impending defeat to me, however. And the patented Obiden Bug-Out and Unconditional Pre-Emptive Surrender(tm), as in Afghanistan.
Whatever Fake #BasementPresident Obama decides, it will be designed to harm America. But fear not!

I thought electricity … “clean, green, renewable” energy from wind and solar was saving the Free World? It couldn’t be that Russia is manufacturing more ammo by using fossil fuels? Oh! And BTW … please stop charging your e-cars … it’s not patriotic (Slava, Tesla) to charge your car while Ukrainians resort to throwing stones at Russian tanks.
Poetic “Climate ” justice would be to require all EVs to use nothing but wind and solar produced energy to refuel. As the cult is coming after gas stoves and now as reported today air conditioners, I think that’s fair.
No “fossil” fuels…just that.
Yeah, why don’t they just throw a bunch if solar panels on the factory roof, put up a bunch of bird blenders, and get to work manufacturing ammo?
WHATS the problem?
Another good idea, dutchman.
I’m sure they’ll get right on that.
….just as soon as their private “fossil” fueled planes return from their latest jaunt to whatever Rothschild/WEF genocide conference they’ve got booked this week. You just know there is one somewhere.
Latitude.
Norway’s electricity is almost 98% hydroelectric so any lack is not because of a lack of fossil fuels. They’re pumping more oil and gas than last year.
It’s likely due to a lack of expanded electrical capacity by the state.
I find this more interesting from the aspect of the shift to green energy.
If the U.S. and its western allies shift to green energy sources, with their limited production capabilities, how will they be able to produce the military supplies necessary to conduct a war involving Russia and/or China?
Not to worry … Chairman Xi promised Special Climate Envoy, John Kerry, that Communist China was “fully committed to combatting Climate change” … so they will be just as energy starved as The USA … Right? John Kerry told me so.
Yeah, try running a tank on solar panels, and see how far it gets you,…
Till the sun goes down. That’s how far.
Good question. The answer is they can’t conduct a war on anyone with a standing army. We can’t produce weapons or war material because we have no capacity to manufacture it. We gave that away to China. We are in deep trouble.
They don’t.
And now you see the point.
Wondering what famous Twitter user “Catturd” has to say about this…
Oh, dear. That puts a stop to the baby videos, too, I suppose.
When will it ever end…….
Those who know how to build stuff and make things and plant things and maintain things….yes, that group will do very well.
It does serve as an encouraging reminder that those of us who are accustomed to dealing with reality will be among those who will do very well when everything collapses in a dusty heap….oh! and that includes who know how to plan ahead. That, too.
Yup.
Regrettably, it’s true that if we don’t “cull the herd” the whole herd (humanity) is doomed.
And that unpleasant reality is becoming more apperent and dire, every day.
All of the phone sanitisers, paper pushers, bean counters, lawyers, buerocrats, campaign consultants, …report for,…”processing” immediately.
Before it’s too late, as this is “Code red, I repeat CODE RED!”
I don’t care what content is available to anyone (Kiddos aside), however I do have a prob with algorithms that purposefully promote licentious. lewd, literally freakin stupid pointless behavior, let’s just say anything agenda driven in this regard.

Tik Tok = data is the new oil = spying. Also, Has anyone looked into Tik Tok’s terms of service?

More absurdity! It has gotten to the point where not one day goes by without more gaslighting by the WEF/NWO elites.
The CIA is looking for a full media/Internet black out. I honestly believe they will pull the plug and then nuke Russia. They can’t do that if TIKTOK is still broadcasting
Yep, with the internet archive about to take a nosedive, this much has become apparent. All I can say to my fellow truth seekers is that you must archive archive archive! Dead-drops will become very important when any semblance of truth becomes illegal to the point of punishment. Lack of truth is it’s own brand of punishment. Store extra physical copies of the Bible too.
Bingo about tictoc as an information / reporting outlet
Ukraine is also running out of soldiers to use the ammunition.
Not going as good as being told by the war machine.
You can’t make this stuff up…
So, they don’t name the data center company? 🤔
Perhaps it is a company named Green Mountain.
This company was aquired by Azrieli Group.
So, Chinese-owned Tik Tok will use a Norway based data center owned by a Isreali real estate firm, thus denying ammunition to Ukraine.
Globalism. 🙄
Quick,Miss Gramnasty, Bloated Hannity, grab Mark Levin, get the first flight to Ukraine and off to the front lines.
Dang it Sundance, Suspicious Cat is throwing sand in the gears. How in the world did you train that Cat?? LOL. That is first thing that popped into mind.
And just where is suspicious cat? …very suspicious.
Pretty certain they have more than enough unused ammo sitting in warehouses along with a long list of other supplies and resources…according to an acquaintance that was there recently.
I wouldn’t be surprised if none of it matches the weapons the Ukrainian’s use. Nope. Probably warehouses full of useless ammo that some arms dealer offloaded through the Bidinh Admin.
It’s pretty hard to believe that the Ukes are shooting either Norma or Lapua “ammo” (parent company association is Nammo; look on the boxes), per se. That is some expensive stuff and well worth it. The stuff I see on the ground is mostly junky copper washed steel and regular old lacquered steel cased “Brown Bear” Russian 7.62×39 stuff. Inaccurate as hell, but when you “spray and prey” it sometimes works. I don’t see too much of their newer cartridge cases on the ground. So, they are exhausting their OLD stores of stuff mostly made by Barnaul and has always been under RF control. Barnaul makes the “Wolf” and “Tula” and other cheap brands that people in the US have bought up in the thousands over here and either shoot at old refrigerators at 50 yards (because it’s so inaccurate) or put in storage for the coming Zombie War.
Think ahead before you sanction stuff and cut off your ammo source, dummies.
The real issue is the nitro plants. If you dig deeper in the whole TicTok write ups what they are basically talking about is POWDER/Nitro. I read last week that each artillery shell has 20 lbs of powder, and they’re popping off about 6,000 a day. Of course, the entitled and spoiled Ukies want powder sourcing for 60,000 rounds a day. Notice they don’t mention that you have to have cannons and the like, a lot of which are getting destroyed daily by RF and not replaced by the West. It’s not the small arms stuff, or “ammo”, per se. It’s the big boombas. You can’t just pump up powder production that much without lots and lots of plants.
But maybe the Euroweenies can figure out how to hook up a bunch of solar panels up the arctic, or wind mills, to power those industrial nitro complexes. Or, maybe vote in more Euroweenie women to figure all this complex stuff out. (:::spit:::)
Just leave our damn powder alone, US/NATO/EU…it’s just starting to come back in the US for the reloaders like myself.
The Russians offloaded all that Cold War Soviet ammo via third parties long ago and guess where it ended up? A little ironic but I can guarantee you that stuff is not what the Russians are using in the Ukes.
Maybe Norway should shut down its pipeline to Germany, and save all that fuel for itself.
I hope Russia shuts it down. An eye for an eye
Gotta be careful there. History has a couple of examples of what happens when Germany decides it needs to be pissed off at the rest of the world.
Not sure that it’s gonna work for them this time around.
Personally, I find cat videos to be far more interesting than anything about Ukraine.
But, that’s just me.
I wonder where the $100 billion we spent on ammo went.
Switzerland and Lichtenstein.
This story made me laugh out loud. Time to seize all those houses bought by Ukrainians in the EU, USA. Last year I read that Zelensky had a 35 million dollar house in Miami, and houses in various other countries, and about 800 million in offshore bank accounts. If true he didn’t make all that from his salary as the president. Many others have cashed in too. Before our corrupt governments send any more of our tax dollars, seize the illegally diverted cash. They know how to seize other people’s cash, they did it with Russia, and they did it with the accounts of the people who protested in Ottawa, Canada.
Can’t Joey Grifter take TikTok out behind the gym ?
He’s probably the second biggest watcher of Tik Tok dancing girls videos (second to his son, Hunty.)
The “Big Guy” is going to be in for a big disappointment when they break the news to him. They’ll have to soften him up with a double scoop first.
Why not call the Taliban. Heard they have an overstock of military equipment and ammunition.

World War Reddit seems to be going badly all of a sudden.
The loons were promised guns and bytes.
You have two minutes to name one bad and gynormously awful thing that TikTok is NOT responsible for.
Biden, Obama, Bush, Romney, Chaney,…and I’m just getting started.
Biden.
TikTok will end all war.
TikTok can heal the planet.
TikTok can stop the rise of the oceans.
Is there nothing TikTok cannot do?
Help us get rid of Biden?
Sorry only the Grim Reaper can do that.
Why can’t they just slap a couple solar panels on the roof. Throw in a windmill and you’ll have plenty of energy.
Don’t forget crickets to fuel the army
Real question: How much does one howitzer shell cost?
150mm is about 150k each.
I’ve got a buddy with ammo for sale for a proxy war. It’s not going to be cheap, I can promise that.
Out of electricty???
NOR-WAY???!!!
WAY Garth!!
And all the workers at Nordic Ammunition Company are too busy watching kitten videos on Tik Tok to manufacture ammunition.
The Ukraine war is similar to the Clinton 16 election, they never thought they would lose, same stooges so getting into the Ukraine war was the easy part, saving face and getting out will be tricky, 30 seconds to midnight.

Putin is correct, this is dirty bomb escalation
Maybe Obama’s deep state can loan the sob some of the 11 billion rounds they billed us for…
1 Billion doesn’t go very far. Inflation is a bitch.
Future archaeologists will search for lost traces of an ancient place in legend called Ukraine.
When you run out of ammunition, you can’t put the enemy in “timeout.”
It’s also hard to get the enemy to switch to spears, swords, bows & arrows, tomahawks, maces, clubs or rocks to make the fight “fair.”
Imagine the conversation with the lowfos that believe this cr@p.
For the kind of money floating around in this war – why not install some generators?
They* know we think them ridiculous, yet they don’t even care now. There is an official narrative to push, and by golly! they are sticking to it.
They* the power that be, their media sycophant, etc. etc.
What kind of Mickey Mouse electrical grid is Norway running, that an ammunition plant can’t get enough electricity?
It is all optimized for troll containment rather than energy transmission.
[Trollhunter movie, 2010]
The ONLY Norwegian movie I have ever. Also the only Norwegian movie I have ever heard of.
I am surprised Youtube even allows this. I watch this and the Duran daily.
Let’s see if I follow. One of, if not THE, biggest black markets for arms is Ukraine. For the last year various countries have been pouring in armaments and ammunition to perverted levels with little to no accountability. And, yet, they have a shortage of ammunition.
Gosh…I wonder what happened.
