These warnings are what ministries of foreign affairs (= government officials) give out to their citizens. Newsweek is neither based in Norway nor written in Norwegian (it's US-based), so saying it looks like something based on this single source isn't adding much weight to your argument.

Extra context from the second paragraph: "President Donald Trump's latest attack on the working class was delivered in the form of an executive order late Thursday that seeks to strip the collective bargaining rights from hundreds of thousands of federal government workers, a move that labor rights advocates said is not only unlawful but once again exposes Trump's deep antagonism toward working people and their families."

It's not like there is only the option of 'no warning' and 'a warning'. These government warn people because they foresee a potential danger for their citizens. What makes this a big deal is that these warnings come from countries who are allies and used to have similar values. The fact that they don't believe you are safe is one thing, but they basically also say they can't use their diplomatic means to keep you safe and that really is imho why this is a very serious sign that the global order is shifting.

In general these warnings are not only for lgbtqi+ folk, but also for scientists and critical journalists. Think of other countries where those people aren't safe, they are not western democracies like the US used to be.

This is fake news. If this would happen (however unlikely) Gandalf would probably stay quiet about being added to the group and just write about it in his weekly magazine. Also, there were no war plans discussed.

Macron proposed a multi-speed Europe, with countries like Norway, Switzerland and UK being of the lowest 'speed'. Totally think Canada should apply for that 🇪🇺

You don't have to like her choices in order to accept her making her own choices, why choose if you can do both?
