'We Stand With Ukraine', Norwegian Style, Pt. 1: M109A3 howitzers (155mm) were transported to Ukraine on 6 May 2022, with the Oslo gov't remaining mum about it

Features incl. very heavy guns, a virtual media blackout about the wisdom of doing so, and a veritable, if stupidly hilarious, facepalm by the Socialist Left, which struggles to explain itself
The division between defensive and offensive weapons is not just politicial fiction though. Even an engineering corps temporary bridge or a helmet, or a flak vest counts as a "weapon" in the laws and ordinances regulating arms sales. It would f.e. be "weapons smuggling" if I was to bring my old swedish army bayonette while hiking and crossing a nationalborder, silly as it may seem - but laws are blunt.
Morals and ethics in war are justifications and rationalisations - always. If I told you that Sweden had a self-propelled artiellery piece designed to - apart from regular types of ammunition - also fire a massive rain of gas shells in order to stop soviet infantry, would you believe it?
As for secrecy, it's nothing special. All military transports and maneuvers are secret, even when they are en route to exercises using regular roads - the man taking and posting that photo has possibly committed a crime without realising it (basing this on swedish law, also contextual of course).
And the war is fueling not only british and american oligarchs, but Putin's cronies too. It's not like the swiss and italian banks they use are going to confiscate the billions of dollars Putin's gang has deposited there over the years, for the banks to invest in western businessesfor them. It is fully possible, even likely, that if one follows the thread of companies owning each other we'll find modern russian boyars from the court of Tsar Putin eating from the same trough as US and british "respected leaders of industry".
War, It's a racket, as Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler said. (Heck, it was a racket when Gustavus Adolphus was warring with the League too, only it was french and dutch bankers rather than italian and swiss.)

Just remind to uninformed readers the date of 22 July 2011 at Oslo and Utoya, where a Norwegian Neo Nazi killed 77 people, 300 injured, mainly young Labour.
The US/CIA/NATO propaganda against any kind of socialist idea has found roots in the Nordic Countries in EU, it's the main enemy. That's why I'm pretty sure that most of the western citizens (say 60/80%) still believe that Putin and Russia are a kind of socialists or communists, so they side with Nazi Ukrainians as the average american citizens have done for the last 80 years...
And in Europe, EU or not EU, they don't realize that is a game play to rule the world, same project Hitler had. The only difference is that Hitler or Goebbels didn't drink Coke and eat McDonald.
So, I must conclude: for the average western citizens (or idiots) better a modern Neo Nazi Government and System than a Socialist one. And they are so, but so idiot, that they tasted in the last 2 years what does it mean to be forced under a Western Neo Nazi Government...
Hope Putin drop the bombs at this point!
Because to change people mind after 80 years of criminal propaganda from United Criminals of America, will take ages.
The newly formed Polish-Ukraine region needs Norway oil more than weapons.

Worst crime since WWII.
