  1. Sri Lank is yet another country well endowed with natural resources, ruined by political and economic mismanagement.

  2. The independent Ukrainian church was recognised by the Patriarch of Constantinople. Unfortunately, there is doubt as to whether he had the authority to do so and if the canonical procedure was correctly followed. This leaves the status of the independent church as uncertain. It is significant that the other Orthodox Patriarchs have not recognised the independent church.

  4. They don't want people to know the real causes.

  5. Zelensky will be taking the salute in Red Square by Christmas.

  6. Those two countries would go straight over to the Russian side.

  7. There are comedy acts all round - Britain, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, USA, Canada, New Zealand, Ukraine - all the WEF puppets. They make Putin look like a wise statesman in comparison..

  8. ​ @DiogoJ1  Since the EU is trying to punish Russia by not buying their gas, it would be morally wrong to take Putin's gas for nothing.

  9. It's our problem. We are the ones who are getting hit with the extra costs.

  10. Time this war came to an end. The Russians will grind Ukraine down and there will be more dead Russians and Ukrainians, and for what? The two sides should stop fighting and negotiate.

  11. You can sit at home and freeze if you want.

  12. Unseasonably chilly here in Scandinavia this year. Quite wet, too.

  13. Ukraine should implement the Minsk accords.

  14. ​ @heldertorres4296  You are not the one who is losing your customers. Enjoy the winter without your Russian gas.

  15. Gross incompetence on the part of politicians, the entire economics profession, bankers, and those who how mismanaged relationships with the former Soviet bloc since 1992. This expert commentator is also part of the problem. He doesn't know what he is talking about.
    3
  16. Well done.

  17. Unseasonably cold weather here in Sweden. Summer got off to a very late start.
    3
  18. Sweden has been losing territory for the past 20 years. The third city, Malmö, has gone, Stockholm and Gothenburg are being eaten away from the edges

  19.  @annaredding  No comparison.

  20. EU cheerleaders, hence the drivel from DW, whoever they are.

  21. Do you think the Russians will not turn up the volume and bit us in the butt?
    2
  22. Price increases are an EFFECT of inflation. They were bound to happen due to 15 years of Quantitative Easing plus the Covid helicopter money. Central Banks and politicians have caused this. The boycott of Russian energy has triggered what was inevitable.

  23. Yes by cutting off its own supplies very clever.

  24. ​ @nbgoodiscore1303  Yes you can start by binning your computer and mobile phone with its Chinese components.

  25. Where did they get the steam locomotive from?

  26. The Ukrainian leaders should have been negotiating last January instead of allowing their people to be used as catspaws for the US military-industrial complex. Some people are making a lot of money out of this.
    2
  27. This dispute needs to be recognised for what it is - a legacy of the messy break up of the USSR. The present boundaries of Ukraine do not match linguistic, religious and ethnic differences and were never intended to. There are even bits taken out of Hungary and Slovakia in 1945. It needs to be sorted out with a bit of goodwill and commonsense. The EU is also a problem because of its trade polices which interfere with the flow of goods across all its borders. This is exactly the same thing as the Northern Ireland EU dispute. The protected Single Market is a dangerous anachronism which needs to be scrapped.
    2
  28. Honesty is absent when the EU is concerned.
    2
  29. People who have been elected in a boycotted election 3% have no mandate and should not have attempted to take office.

  31. Typical politician.

  32. ​ @nerdlingeeksly5192  Meanwhile we have no heating through the winter. Very clever.

  33. Sooner or later the Russians will turn up the volume big time. Keep on poking the bear. Good business for the manufacturers.
    2
  34. ...apart from the no go areas controlled by criminal gangs and the protection racketeers. We have more to worry about than Putin.
    2
  35. Why the heck do we need to join NATO? We got through the Cold War without it. Support for joining the US military-industrial warmongers' club is far from universal here in Sweden. We have severe social and economic problems with no solution in sight. Rising gun crime, failing public services, a hard core of unemployables and a tax burden which is gradually crushing the life out of the economy. Hardly anything here is not made in China or Vietnam or Bangladesh, etc. The country has already been invaded, with parts of the cities being no go areas under the control of criminal gangs. Russia should be the least of our worries. I hope that Erdoğan will save us from ourselves. The tragedy is that we have given up our traditional role as trusted peace brokers.

  36. Perhaps some people want to gamble on catching the virus and getting over with it?

  37. @Swedish and Nordic. Malmö is already lost. Have you not been keeping up with the news?
    2
  38. Labour is just as responsible. It goes back to 1997.

  39. How did Finland manage for 60 years during the Cold War without being a member of NATO?

  40. Enjoy the freeze.

  41. ​ @Elfdustify  Nothing democratic about the EU. It's the Third Reich rebooted.

  42. Putin is in large part a creation of the west, in particular NATO and EU expansion and the EU trade and economic policies. The latter have prevented the normalisation of trade relations with the former Soviet countries. Putin has made a huge mistake but there are ideological issues which will not go away.

  43.  @arturschlegel-ky2wt  What is heretical about them? There is definitely a dispute over jurisdiction and the independent Ukrainian Church has modernist tendencies but I have not come across accusations of heresy.
    1
  44.  @__Aurora__  It doesn't work like that. New autocephalous Orthodox Churches have to be recognised by all the others. That has not happened.
    1
  45.  @richlopez5896  That still leaves a long list which have not recognised them. The accepted process was not followed.
    1
  46.  @sergeyb8  Yes. Orthodox in Ukraine generally want to be in communion with all the other Eastern Orthodox. Because the procedures for setting up an autocephalous church were not followed, they have now been cut off. The decision should have been made and approved in accordance with Canon Law, which requires a synod. The Patriarch of Constantinople does not have the authority to carve out an independent Church from another Patriarchate. There is an accepted way of going about the process.

  47. At the rate things are going, Hungary will end up in an alliance with Putin. Keep prodding, Brussels.

  48. ​ @benghazi4216  The west has been poking the bear for 30 years.

  50. It's a mirror image of RT but seems to be getting more influenced by warmongers and neocons. Follow the money.

  51. They are not sanctions. It is a boycott.

  52. Defeat Putin and another one wl step into his shoes.

  53. It's obviously Russian sabotage. Same as the pipelines.

  54. The EEC and successor EU have been harming their own people since 1957. Shooting itself in the feet.

  55. Has history got sides?

  56. Watch out Moscow, here they come.

  57. The sea temperature is the Kattegat is already cold for the time of year. How smart is Germany being in choosing to freeze next February?
    1
  58. We don't need NATO. We need our own government to take back control from criminal gangs and stop crushing the economy with unsustainable taxes.
    1
  59. Weird. Germany allowed itself to be invaded in 2015 and did nothing to protect itself against the danger.

  60. Not much consolation when the economy of Europe is on its knees.
    1
  61. The Russians tried to hand it back in the 1990s.
    1
  62. We in the EU will be hit just as much, and what is the longer term aim? The EU is doing what it does best - damaging the EU's own economy. What a bunch of clowns. Meanwhile in the UK the Conservative government shows its contempt for its own supporters.
    1
  63.  @jeffreyexposito3803  Forget the effect on Russia. It is going to have an even more serious effect in the EU. The best thing that could happen is that it kills off the EU.
    1
  64. Disgraceful. The Swedish government should have had a referendum before applying to join NATO.
    1
  65. ​ @politicallyincorrect4452  Support for Ukraine will evaporate as people start to shiver.

  66. The EU stirring up trouble again. The British should be kicking up as hard over the EU blockade of Northern Ireland.
    1
  67. The EU has become the enemy of its people and most of its business community. Its politicies are tailored to the interests of corporate Germany. It would be good riddance.
    1
  68. The EU is doing what it does best - punishing the people who live and work inside it. The woman is clueless. Who elected her?
    1
  69.  @Henry-no3ml  You cannot trust Russia or the US or the EU or our own governments. Crooks and fools the lot of them

  70. Bad decision by Putin but there has been constant provocation since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Putin played into the hands of the US warmongers who are making big money out of their proxy war.
    1
  71. A neighbour of mine was forced out of the flat he owned in Pristina. An Albanian family took it over. The Albanians in Kosovo are the aggressive party.

  72. Don't buy Russian goods if you object. Stop telling others what they should do.
    1
  73. Mistake.
    1
  74. They are not sanctions. It's a boycott ie EU self harm. A referendum is exactly what is needed. It needs to be independently monitored. Ukraine's borders are an artificial creation by Stalin and include chunks of Hungary and Poland as well as Russia. These boundaries were never viable. The Ukrainians and Russia should stop fighting and talk. No more money or help to encourage Ukraine's intransigence. Go away.

  75. Enjoy being unemployed and freezing in February.

  76.  @theakiwar9118  It is people and business in the EU who will be feeling most of the pain. Not the unelected elite who run the EU; though.
    1
  77. Haha I got censored. I must have been spot on the mark.
    1
  78. Hahaha. The EU doesn't know the difference between sanctions and a boycott. EU self harming behaviour as always. The sooner the EU is closed down, the better.

  79.  @saba1030  The Russkis are behind it.
    1
  80. Expensive reflects the fact that this energy is a boondoggle.
    1
  81. Neutrality served Sweden very well for 200 years. Very bad decision which we will come to regret. There is a long list of problems that have to be dealt with. The country is of no interest to the Russians, apart perhaps for the island of Gotland. We don't need to be in NATO to defend it.
    1
  82. The west has been squaring up for trouble with Russia since 2008, when some US warmonger said they wanted to get Ukraine into NATO. The EU and NATO has been actively provoking since 2014.
    1
  83. How can Sweden afford this?
    1
  84.  @Seitbp242  Have you looked at the Swedish figures for tax, crime, unemployment, inflation? That is not doing fine. The country is highly dependent on insecure IT systems. Turkey has done us no favours. Soon there will be demands for a two state solution as the country goes the way of Lebanon. There has been no public debate on the issue and the media have all gone along with the narrative of needing to join. The distraction is a godsend.
    1
  85. Russia is way down on the list of threats to Sweden. The livelihood of a return to conscription in Sweden was never mentioned. It is significant that the politicians didn't trust the people to support NATO membership in a referendum. We will come to regret the decision.
    1
  86. Never mind. The Russians are weak. Zelensky will soon have his troops in Moscow.
    1
  87. Communism was eradicated from Russia about 30 years ago.

  88. There are plenty of other customers for Russian energy.

  89. What do you expect the Russians to do? Walk away?

  91. Hungary and Turkey will just cosy up to Russia.

  92. Speak for yourself.

  93. Sanctions are most acting against people in the EU. It is a self imposed blockade.
    1
  94. ​ @JH-pv6rd  That's a lot of imports which people in Europe will be going short of if they stop coming. Get knitting a supply of thick sweaters.

  95. The Swedes should have had a referendum. There is no great desire to join.

  96. Everyone likes a bargain.

  97. Sweden has already been invaded. In 50 years it will be part of the Ummah.

  98. Funny because a $100 Russian dive watch takes a lot of beating. Great technology and original design.

  99. We in the EU are the biggest losers. Enjoy your cold showers.

  100. Especially if there had been no eastward expansion of NATO and the EU. It was the EU that kicked off this trouble in 2014.

  104. EU loving WEF stooges. Why they want their country to adopt the EU's disastrous trade and economic policies is a mystery.

  105. The EU has not banned glyphosates.

  106. They have chosen to freeze. We'll done for what?

  107. Russian gas making bubbles in the Baltic. German industry strangled. All thanks to US terrorism.

  108. They could look at Romania's massive VAT gap next.

  109. ​ @basandel173  EU infrastructure investment is mostly for the benefit of property owners. Some cousins of mine did very well when an EU funded road was built close by.

  110. ​ @methos4866  There could be a deal with Putin as a reserve position. Like returning the part of Ukraine that Stalin took from Hungary.

  111. Biden is the warmongers' glove puppet.
    1
  112. They should get some Pannier tanks. They were very successful
    1
  113. The Swedish socialists had murky links with the Na7s. There are serious problems in the Swedish cities. Failed integration policies are the fault of the socialists. Why kind of democracy is it that excludes a party with so much support?
    1
  114. Nothing.
    1
  115. Germany just committed economic suicide.
    1
  116. If you are in Sweden you ought to have noticed that the country has already been invaded. This is a nice distraction though. If you want to know the future of Sweden and many other Western countries look at Lebanon.

  117.  @Eaglebrace  Taxes are an issue. They are locking 5% of the workforce out of legal and gainful employment.

  119. Scotland has its own team of clowns in charge.

  120. NATO is stirring things up as hard as it can.

  121. Sweden has failed to defend itself for the past 20 years.

  122. The war is dragging on because one side is much more powerful than the other, but less efficient than was expected. The strategy now is just to grind Ukraine down. They need to sit down and negotiate before the country is in ruins.

  123. And the people behind the scenes who are pulling Biden's strings.

  124. Next stop Moscow.

  125. ​ @DiogoJ1  The EU and Russia are at war, they just haven't made the war official yet.
    1
  126. About as dangerous as those who are actually in charge, in whom trust has been lost over the past ten years, who are responsible for raging inflation, energy shortages, mass immigration without integration, the real possibility of nuclear war, the propagation of lies by the media, democracy which has been stolen by an elite, and the influence of shadowy organisation and shadowy individuals. They might be nut-jobs but the mainstream politicians and media are feeding these movements.

  127. We need to worry about the coming decade of double digit inflation and the soaring food and energy prices and the criminal gangs streaming into the country.

  129. Do you think Burger King supplies its Russian shops with food from the EU. The others on your list are made in China or Bangladesh or Vietnam. They don't need to come through the EU.

  130.  @innocentiuslacrim2290  Where do you think Russian Burger King restaurants get their supplies from?

  131. They will drive Hungary into the embrace of the Russians.

  132. They could have a bonfire of EU Directives. That would be a good energy source. Then there is all the hot air and fart coming out of Brussels. What climate change are they concerned about? The cold spring weather this year is part of a trend. Cost of building and maintaining windmills in the North Sea is horrendous. These politicians have obviously never been out in the North Sea in January. Wind generation produces nil energy when the wind isn't blowing.

  133. Freak weather? Very hot in Saudi in the middle of June?

  134. How do we know that the referendum was false? Where were the impartial observers?

  135. He over estimated his army's strength. But the west has been provoking for 30 years.

  136.  @michealchimzi1685  The US is fighting against European countries.

  137. Do you really think Russians are that upset about not being able to visit Finland? What has it got that the Russians do not already have?

  138. Nobody wanted East Prussia after 1990 which is why the Russians have still got it.

  139. Losing Generals sounds like carelessness.

  140. Sweden is a haven for terrorists and criminal gangs. We sent more people to ISIS than any other country, proportionately. We have our own problems to fix. NATO is an irrelevance.
