  1. Far Right? The scale has just been recalibrated. Far Left was the old centre.

  2.  @fahimshamsuddin672  Being in the European Union just costs us in Sweden money and causes us trouble. Since Brexit we have even had difficulty buying university course text books because they are normally in English and they get stuck in customs. If you don't order two months before the start of your course you will probably not get them in time. I had to give up a couple because of not being able to get the books. The EU has trashed Internet trading eg Ebay and Amazon. We are even getting hammered for charges if people send gifts. Being in the EU is a curse. EU membership also requires countries to apply Value Added Tax - the most inefficient and damaging tax ever invented. It has destroyed small businesses and street trading which is what migrants traditionally did. This has created a massive obstacle to integration. The EU was a good idea but it was taken over by idiots from the start and just goes on getting worse. There is no way of dislodging these people who run it due to the democratic deficit. It is also nice gravy train for the EU bureaucrats who get tax free salaries. That is why the EU is not popular.

  3. Sounds like a joint Schwab/Soros venture. Ir has their dirty paw-marks all over it.

  5. NATO has been doing the dirty on Cyprus for decades. TLDR Forgot to mention the two holocausts of Greeks and Armenians at the end of the Ottoman Empire. 3 million died.

  6. Putin is essentially historically correct about the origin of Ukraine within its present boundaries. It was devised by Stalin in the 1920s, and after 1945, bits were added on from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary and Romania. It is also the case that both the EU, the US and NATO has sought to extend their influence, which Russia sees as a threat, quite reasonably. None of which justifies the invasion, which looks like it is going to get dragged out in a prolonged and risky conflict, but it does not help in understanding to ignore how things look from the Russian perspective.

  7. And one about Sweden where the second biggest party has been excluded from the government. Funny kind of democracy.

  8.  @Ivanfpcs Two perfect examples which confirm the point. The single currency makes it impossible to remedy the huge and chronic regional economic imbalances in the countries you mention. This leads to excessive internal migration, rural depopulation, urban slums, social disruption etc. The single currencies suck wealth from the periphery to the core. The Euro is doing the same thing

  9.  @LizardSpork  The EU/NATO strategy has been to keep on poking the bear. For 30 years.

  10. If you want to ask for trouble, just continue with the same attitude.

  11. The EU core trade and economic policies were discredited by the Classical economists over 200 years ago. Unfortunately they were revived in the 20th century, taken up by the German government in the 1930s and carried over into the EEC. The Eurotax, VAT, is probably the most damaging and inefficient tax ever devised. GDP is reduced by at least 0.25% for every 1% of VAT.

  12. A bit like Brexit and vaccination divisions.

  13. If, as we know, sanctions are a bad thing, why does the EU persist with its protectionist Single Market, which is self imposed sanctions?

  14. Because they can recognise antisemitism when they see it, and know what it leads to.

  15. Not when you consider the diversity of the country. The EU is no friend of the Christian Orthodox, anywhere.

  16. The tax system makes matters much worse.

  18. Georgia is an Orthodox country. A lot of people do not accept EU values.

  20. Pure WEF propaganda.

  21. He can't pronounced a lot of English words properly either.

  22. Then there are the countries in the EU where membership is not so popular.

  23. Can you do a piece on the weapons manufacturers who are producing these items, how much they are making from the extra sales, and how their share prices have been affected? This has been a great opportunity to clear out old stock.

  24.  @verttikoo2052  There is not much support for the EU here in Sweden these days.

  25. Join NATO, bring on WW3 and be in the front line, oh yet, very clever Just keep on poking the bear.

  26. The EU should stop punishing its own industries with import tariffs, the CAP, Value Added Tax and taxes on wages. The EU has destroyed its own economy with the wrong sort of taxes and the wrong economic policies. The EU economy needs protecting against its own politicians.

  27. ​ @sit-insforsithis1568  Serbians generally don't want to be in a colony of the 4th Reich.

  28. They could have the Palestinians.

  29. ​ @RomanLavandos  They could take in the Palestinians. They breed fast, even under genocide.

  30. They can't pronounce English words properly.

  31. Good news for us in the EU as we will get cheaper food But these trade deals are nonsensical. Just remove the tariffs. Unilaterally.

  32. Good riddance. People don't want Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum stooges.

  33. ​ @LordCoeCoe  Not because of Brexit though.

  34. The influence goes to those who can afford the most effective lobbyists - mostly the Franco-German industrial giants and owners of large agricultural holdings. Which is why EU policies are geared to their interests. They are the same faction as bankrolled the Nazis and fascists between the wars.

  35.  @raivisb326  Latvia has been a big loser from being in the EU. Look how the population has dropped. Look at the state of Daugavpils. Riga feels more like a quiet English provincial town than a capital city. Your country is an EU backwater. What happened to RVR?

  36. It's entertaining, especially the pronunciation of the place names. Makes you wonder about the reliability of the content. Why are they rooting for the one side?

  37. Can *we * in Sweden survive winter? Electricity is 0.56 Euro per unit, no wind or solar generation at the moment, nukes are closed for maintenance, soaring food prices, minus 7 forecast next week. I am not sure how long support for Ukraine allowing itself to be used as the USA's cat's paw will continue when the bills start to arrive. If Germany is surviving they can thank the Swedes for exporting their electricity.

  38. What strategic use is Sweden to anyone? We have already been invaded, by consent of the Swedish government. The demographic time bomb is ticking. Swedes are a minority species in the middle of Gothenburg. Majority Arabs, then Turkish, Chinese, and Balkans, sprinkling of British and Oz. Shop signs mostly in English.

  39. The British can eat all the pork their farmers can produce. Here in Sweden we can only get streaky bacon. Sometimes there is back, from England, but there hasn't been any for weeks.

  40. The way this channel talks, you would think that all the trouble is due personally to Putin alone.

  41. The Muslim Albanians have been trying to drive out the Orthodox Christian Serbians from Kosovo for hundreds of years. Some neighbours of mine are victims. They were brutally evicted from their home in Pristina. Nasty business, aided and abetted by Nato and the EU.

  42. You need quite a lot of salt, though.

  43. The Euro is a convenience but the politics and economics do not even begin to work. Make the most of it.

  44.  @onionpie52  Countries don't choose anything. Their governments do the choosing. The current state of Ukraine is what happens if you make a move which the other side perceives as a threat. Finland has not been invaded. In fact, the Russians offered back Karelia, which the Russians took in 1940, but the Finns didn't want it. The Russians also tried to get rid of the former Königburg region of East Prussia but nobody would take it off their hands. Anyway, Putin has blown it because the Russians in Ukraine don't appreciate being targets for Russian forces.

  45. The Greek Orthodox Church seems to have problems in many places. Shame.

  46. The Russians might have offered to hand back the Hungarian areas of Ukraine.

  47. ​ @NLTops  They might get back the chunk of Ukraine that Stalin took from Hungary.

  48. ​ @anatolian1842  Who in Ukraine wants to join the EU and why? Support to join the EU in Serbia is zilch. Not much support for the EU in Sweden.

  49. I have neighbours here in Sweden who were driven out of Kosovo. They are stealing ancient historic Christian properties. The EU does not care, of course.

  50. The US$ does not work. Most of the country away from the eastern and western seaboards, around the Great Lakes and Texas is an economic desert.
