  2. Poltava is a well known town in Sweden, when we Swedes fought our existential war against Russia there in 1709. Its sad that Ukraine once again is a battlefield. I hope the international community do what it can to save the people in Mariupol. But I am personally pessimistic that the combined might of the western world can do much. I hope I am wrong, but as a pessimist I prefer to have low expectations here in life so I don't suffer dissapointments. Regardless the soldiers who fought there will be remembered as national heroes. Putins deliberate murder of 100.000 civlians at Mariupol will forever stains his regimes reputation. As a Swede I am happy to assist Ukraine with weapons. We were allies against Russia back in 1709, so it feels good to help you like you helped us. Team blue and yellow should always stick togheter as Zelensky said. I hopefully will Russia be kicked out soon as the Ukrainian army is brave and very skillful and is hammering the Russians very hard. I hope Putin feels endless pains from his cancer and that he dies as soon as possible so this stupid pointless war can be over.

  3. There was a record amount of people at the town square in Stockholm protesting against the war yesterday. So there is strong public support for more aid to Ukraine. As soon as Sweden joins Nato I believe that Gripen will be sent to Ukraine.

  4. Zelensky have started to get wrinkles already after 2 years. I mean most American presidents gets grey hair after 4-8 years in office. But being Ukrainian president in times of war seems like an even more exhausting job. I can now understand if he carries cargo pants and a pullover, because if I was in his shoes I would also think there would be better things to care about. He have certainly sacrificed a lot for his nation. His time, his health, all stress, multiple assassination attempts by the nazi-russians. Of course are there those who sacrifice even more and died for their country. But that does not take away anything from Zelenskys greatness

  6. I want Ukraine to win because I want good to win over evil. Genocide and wars of aggression. I also rather see democracy and freedom expand over the world, than dictatorship and tyranny. I want a world based on the principles of the Westphalian peace, rather than having a new rules based order where might makes right, and where landgrabs are the new normal, and where borders are redrawn with the sword.

  7.  @classifiedveteran9879  But russia is not a super power. Its an economic midget with a population too tiny to qualify into this club.

  8. I think this tape feels irrelevant if it is true or not. Because nothing interesting was said there. The security leak is a sign of German weakness and naivity, and how people that are not living next to russia and having communism in fresh memory are a bit damaged by decades of peace and have become naive and takes too lightly on security risks. But with all that said can I only say that the Germans are not alone. The recent security leak in USA by a young national guardsman shows this. And we Swedes are just the same with Kremlin spying on us with 2 Iranian men, and letting fake enviromentalists from russia write papers for our Swedish universities and push for closing down areas for military training for enviromental reasons or banning certain chemichals for the sake of the enviroment and such... but the real hidden agenda is to weaken Swedens military and have nothing to do with protecting birds from loud artillery bangs or martime animals from loud noises from boat engines. If people care much about the enviroment, I believe that they would rather focus their time and energy on other more relevant issues...

  10. This party have a party leader that says "we cannot give endless amounts of support to Ukraine" which goes against Sweden political consensus of helping Ukraine, as is a pro-russian viewpoint consistent with pro-russian populist parties on continental Europe and America. So this viewpoint is fundamentally unswedish. This party also held a member who repeatedly burned Qurans to make the middle east hostile towards Sweden and threatening with terrorist attacks because of this. And it would not surprise me if this thing was also put into action by russian FSB as a way to damage Swedens reputation and sabotage Swedens entry into Nato and compromise Swedens national security. So to me are the Sweden democrats the most Putin friendly party inside the Swedish parliament. It is - at least as far as I know, at least verbally supporting Ukraine. Anything else would be political suicide in a country where 98% of the population supports Ukraine. But I fear tendencies that this party wants to move its political viewpoints closer to those of those of populist parties in other western countries. Personally I hate this idea. We should not have that dumb foreign garbage imported into Sweden. The religious idiocy of the Republicans and Orban and their obsession with abortion can they keep for themselves. And pro-putinism and obsession about culture war nonsense is also something that the German populists can keep for themselves. Swedens should go our own way and do what is right. That is what makes us strong. That gaves us our ecnomic wonder, our top notch military industry, and this is an old tradition that has served us well. Like the Brits did we adopt protestantism and never fully engaged with continental Europe, which is perhaps why continental European ideas like fascism and Communism has never appealed to us.

  11. @Vladimir Fomin They have Scandinavian blood in their veins. Putin says that they are Russians. But that is not any more true than that they are Swedes. With Putins own logic can one say that both Russia and Ukraine should belong to Sweden because it is our "historic lands" since back of the days of the Kyiv-Rus empire that was founded and ruled by Swedish vikings. If you think this idea sounds insane, then you must also think that Putins view is insane for the same reason. I for my part recognize that Ukraine is an old country with very long historical roots - it is a country with a longer history than Russia.

  12. Feels like its 1945 and FDR dies and the next US president decides to join the Axis despite their military is nearly utterly destroyed. Churchill spits in his tea when he hears Truman joining the Axis and ready to flip the table with US nukes and military power. Britain, China and Russia are extremely exhausted, broke and have lost much manpower. Hitler sends a few leading nazis to Switzerland for negotiations, he is skeptical but he is also desperate and feels like he got nothing left to lose. As a goodwill gesture do Truman unlock all frozen German assets and stop tracking all German spies in America. And he stops all military aid to the allies. People back home and are upset and protesting, while some isolationists applaud the decision, and some who thinks that russia is the real enemy are happy. The Polish exile government protests the many decisions taken by the president: "we want our land back, they have killed 20% of our population, destroyed entire cities, systematically murdered all our intellectuals... and now you decide to side with the aggressor?" And Trumpman responds that he wants peace and that all killing needs to stop. If everyone just lay down their weapons and let Hitler win there will be peace.

  13. Swedish vikings founded both Ukraine and Russia, with the creation of the Kingdom Kyiv-Rus. Ukraine is having its old democratic traditions and brave viking blood in it. While mother Russia is the ugly child that Mother Svea wish that she never had given birth to. Russia have always been barbaric, authoritarian, undemocratic, warmongering, and opressive.

  14. @Kerberos "Nah Russia and Ukraine is the exact same." The Ukrainian language got more in common with Belarussian and Polish than with Russian. "Since the ukrainian part was always weak they were controlled constantly by Russia and the Mongols." Still totally irrelevant for the discussion. Sweden controlled Finland for 800 years. But did that magically turn Finns into Swedes? I bet most Finns don't think so. Same goes for Ukraine. Just because a people have been living under the rule of a foreign power a long time does not mean that the etnical group automatically cease to exist. The Ukrainians still see themselves as Ukrainians and not as Russians. Even Russian speaking Ukrainians see themselves as Ukrainians.

  15. Maybe we can just skip helping USA when it needs help then, as a security guarantee according to rightwing populists is just option and not a word of honour. The Budapest agreement and article 5 means nothing they say. We can save our own tax money by just sitting idle while dictatorships murder innocent people and create a world order based on power instead of justifce. Maybe we need to spend money on some other bullsh*t like immigration, enviromentalism or whatever instead of helping our allies. That is what MAGA stands for these days.

  16. Russians forget all 9 years before Poltava when Russia got their asses kicked around by heavily outnumbered Swedish forces time and time again, at the Narva, Jakobstadt, Saladen, Kliszow, Fraustadt, Holowczyn and elsewhere. To them history only began in 1709 with the battle of Poltava. Just like World war 2 began with the German invasion of Russia in 1941 🙄

  18. It was russia that invaded Sweden and not the other way around. Sweden fought a defensive war against its neighbours. Sweden did beat russia in like 19 battles but lost 1 battle at Poltava. But Z clowns likes to forget all such things. They live in an alternative fantasy world made up of propaganda. I see this in this comment here.

  19. That Napkin was stupid then. Ethno-nationalism, imperialism and fascism = Putinism Zelensky is the opposite. He do not think one ethnic groups is better than another. As a russian speaking Ukrainian he did try to unify the country of Ukrainian and Russian speakers. He have a strong belief in democracy. And he do think Ukraine should have the right to independence and self-determination instead of being just a province in a big empire living under the shackles of a totalitarian opressive dictatorship.

  21. @Kerberos "I know for a fact no one had problem accepting history until the war started." Now the Swedish Putin spirit comes inside me and starts to wonder a few things... Why can't you just accept that Russia is just a made up fake country? You Russians are just confused Swedes. We got separated and grew apart. You need to embrace your roots and let yourself be ruled by Scandinavian Kings again. Just like the good old days of Kyiv-Rus. "What your talking about took 100s of years to change." The Ukrainian people have existed for a long time. And their want for independence is an old thing. Ivan Mazepa wanted Ukraine to break free from Russia 300 years ago. And we Swedes helped Ukraine fight for their independence. But their struggle eventually got crushed by Tsar Peter. So your claim that this is a new thing is just total nonsense. Its just ignorance of history. And Mazepa is not the only independence fighter in Ukrainian history either. They also wanted to break free from Polish rule, when their country laid under the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. Indeed the Ukrainian national anthem named "Shche ne vmerla Ukrainy i slava, i volia" ('The glory and freedom of Ukraine has not yet perished) was written back in the 1860s. So the Ukrainian wish for independence is far older than 100 years.

  22. "Russia" got its name from "Rus". And the "Rus' people" was the name people gave to the Swedish vikings coming from Roslagen (which is an area north of Stockholm). So Russia got its name from Swedish vikings. That proves that Russia should belong to Sweden and that it is Swedish historic lands.

  23. I don't like Putin, but in this case I think I have to take his side. I think he refers to the province of Ingria that Sweden managed to conquer from Russia in a war in 1610 when Swedish armies managed to conquer Moscow and force a favorable peace treaty for itself, and the Swedes even managed to force the Russians to agree to letting the Kings younger brother Filip to become the new Tsar of Russia. But the boy was too young and he did not want to move to Russia and his mother fought hard to protect him from moving to Russia to get murdered like all other Tsars in brutal barbaric 1600s Russia. Anyhow Peter the Greats wargoal was to take back the provinces Ingria and Kexholm from Sweden. He also decided to steal Estonia from Sweden, which was not Russian land. Estonia had volunteered to join the Swedish empire in 1560 to get protection against Danish, Polish, and Russian agression. In Estonias history was Swedish rule the happiest point in their history. It was a time when they were allowed much independence. While the period before that (under the Teutonic Knights) and the period after Swedish rule (when they were under Russian occupation) is remembered as long hundred years periods of hard opression.

  24. Because all wars consume gigantic amounts of ammunition and politicians always underestimate how much ammunition a modern war needs. In Vietnam did it on average take somewhere between 200,000 and 600.000 shots just to kill one enemy soldier for the Americans (source: Forward into battle - by Paddy Griffith). Now we have the biggest war in Europe since world war 2. So of course will ammunition consumtion be enormous. And especially so when you fight against one of the largest armies in the world. Russia have lost gigantic amounts of tanks and vehicles. So the Ukrainians have been using the weapons very effective and resourceful. When battles are intensive will ammunition consumption become gigantic. The German 6th army at Stalingrad every day needed 17 railway wagons with small arm ammunition for their machine guns, pistols and rifles. And that is just some of the weapons they used. The Germans also needed gigantic amounts of ammunition for their field guns, howitzers, tanks and airplanes. So as you see are ammunition consumption enormous. And putting weapons into the hands of 900.000 Ukrainians in just one month is not possible without foreign help. Much old soviet weapons are used, but more modern and better western weapons also needs to be used.

  25. In Sweden you will see Ukrainian flags in front of all the museums in Stockholm. People have an Ukrainian flag on their facebook profile. For me its not about virtue signaling. I want Ukrainians to know that we back them up. And I like to piss off the Russians by stubbornly carrying that flag and thereby see all my contempt for Putin.

  26. Every Russian killed in Ukraine is a Russian we don't have to kill ourselves. I happily send away stocks of old weapons. They were built to kill Russians during the cold war, so why not just give them away to Ukraine to teach Russia a lesson that their aggression should not be tolerated? Just throwing away weapons without using them just look like a sad waste to me. Its better to get some good will from foreign governments. Punching back Russian aggression. Defend democracy and freedom. And get Ukraines resources to serve Europe, instead of letting them fall into hand of Putin so he can get more power to blackmail and bully Europe.

  27. Poor Putin did hurt his arm when he tried to punch an innocent guy in his face. Poor Putin. Its the other guys fault that Putin did hurt him arm. Its not Putins fault that he felt like he had a punchable face.

  28. S-300 and S-400 is garbage. It didn't prevent Mordor from losing the cruiser Moskva. They didn't manage to protect Engels airforce base from a 50 year old slow flying drone that was a big target and easy to hit that was flying for over an hour over Mordor's territory. And nor could you protect all officers in the black sea fleet from getting taken out in a drone strike. Orc tanks are so good that you have already lost 6000 of them. Mordors air force greatly outnumbers the Ukrainian one and but yet it have for two years failed to gain air superiority or doing anything useful with the superiority in numbers over the skies. Mordors artillery is crap with less range, less precision, longer reload time, more unreliable ammunition that often fails to detonate, and the time to go from moving to shooting is also longer than the Nato counter parts.

  30. I support Ukraines Nato membership. But an EU membership is just a mistake in my opinion. I think the ukrainian people should vote about if they want to join those clubs after the war. Because in the end should it be the Ukrainian people who decides Ukraines fate, and not the EU, not russia and not even the ruling class of Ukraine that should decide that, but the people.

  32. Russian artillery doctrine might have been wise back in the 1940s but not today. This gun got better range - which means it can shot at russian artillery without the russian guns have the range to fire back at it. The russian guns are also inaccurate, takes a long time to reload, have low quality ammunition, and they are not easy to move around. And when your precision is so bad do you need to fire large amounts of ammunition to hit a target - and that means more problems with getting enough military trucks that carry ammunition to the frontline. And the risk of getting killed is higher with the short range russian guns that needs to sit close to the frontline to be able to hit something. Russian artillery doctrine has failed. Compared BM-21 to HIMARS. Himars can reload fast and hit targets extremely far away is guaranteed to hit a target within a 4 meter circle from it. And the explosion is so powerful that even if it miss with 4 meters will the targe be killed. But BM21 needs an extremely long reload and its rockets will land somewhere within 250 meters of the target. So even with a huge rocket barrage could the losses on the enemy side be very low because the weapon is so inaccurate.

  39.  @JohnSmith-jf3pj  Many newspapers have speculated about his bad health the last two years. And here you got one video doing the same https://youtu.be/FqvOl2QGeDY It is suspected that he tyroid cancer - a cancer which is not so deadly as about 90% of people manage to survive 5 years with the disease (compare that to lung cancer that kills 80%). It is also suspected that he got Parkinsons disease that can make arms and legs shaking without control and make the movement of the body hard to control, and it can also become clumsy and slow. In this video you can see Putin leg shake and he seems to hold his hand with a hard grip on the table as if he tries to keep his arm under control https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8q0H3-8Tw0 Putins style of walking is also strange as he does not swing both arms as he walks, but instead is his right arm always a bit unmoveable. Putins sometimes swollen face can also be caused by side effects from cancer and parkinson medication. So how severe could those illnesses be? They are making life very shitty for those who have it. Tyroid cancer is not a so dangerous form of cancer as far as I know, and one can get rid of the cancer by removing the tyroid. However, if the cancer had begun to spread to other parts of the body it can often mean that the game is over, and the person dies.

  40. Dicipline falls apart if the troops are not allowed to plunder to become happy... And dicipline falls apart if the "soldiers" starts to focus more on plundering and stealing booze to get drunk rather than focusing on fighting a war. Ukrainian troops should when they retreat leave Sergei and Boris their own vodka bottle as a gift. Soon they will start to drink and drive off the road, pass out, and getting a headache, vomit and getting a hangover and being too sleepy to fight back against a Ukrainian counter attack.

  41. From now on are time ticking in Ukraines favor. Only Trump can save Putin from losing this war now. And I don't think that Trump will win the next election. However there are a few minor things that can cause some turbolence. The elections in Germany might cause problems if AfD win some states. And the EU parliament election has always historically shown a trend of far right parties gaining more and more support, while the left goes backwards. So that could cause some problems. However as long member countries stands behind Ukraine will this not cause any problems. Remember, this 7 billion military package given to Ukraine came from Sweden and not the EU. This shows that countries in the EU can help Ukraine even when the EU itself is useless and aid is being blocked by Hungary. One should also remember that the EU parliament is not a real parliament, because EU is not a democracy. The parliament cannot create any laws on its own, like you see in parliaments in democratic countries around the world. Most of the power in the do instead lay in the Commission. The 2nd most powerful institution is the council of ministers. And the 3rd most powerful institution is the EU parliament, which is mostly just playing the role as an useless middlemen between decisions taken in the commision that are later on sent to the parliament, and then changed and takes its final form in the council of ministers that could change every decision made by the EU parliament as much as they like. They even can do the total opposite of what the parliament wants, and then have the final word of each issue. So even if Le Pen, Orban, AfD and such people win the EU election I would not think that this would change the situation that much.

  46. My feeling is that Elon Musk and Kissinger are just test balloons to see public opinion if west wants peace or not. I for my part do not think that making peace with Putain is realistic. He should have gained nothing from this war. The symbolism here is very important. Maybe Ukraine will be too weak to completly throw the Russians out (but personally I think that Ukraine can win with enough support). The best outcome is a peace where all stolen land is retaken - including Crimea. And then can Russia just settle with a peace of borders of 2014. Sadly do I think that most Russian war criminals will go unpunished and that war reparations will never come. But one can always dream of a more fair and just world... But as Putin is burning his bridges with his Putain-lover countries in Europe, and as he shots himself in the foot by proloning this war.. he is putting the west more and more into a corner where it have no other choice than to give Ukraine all the military aid that Ukraine needs to end this war quickly on favorable terms. So Putain can play his silly game all he wants. But it does not seem like he have any chance of winning now no matter what he choses to do. Ending the war this week and taking home all troops would be the best solution for everyone, and especially for Russia self I guess, since I assume they do not want all vehicles in the Russian army to be destroyed.

  48. They thought they were safe. Russia had promised to never attack Ukraine if they gave up their nuclear arms in the Budapest agreement. It turns out that Russia lied. Like Russians always lie. Russia invaded Ukraine anyways. And the guarantees they have given are worthless. So now is joining a military alliance with western countries the only option left. Nordic countries also realize that Russian promises are worthless shit. They promised to let Scandinavia be a nuclear weapon free zone. But they lied about that too. So f this rotten country. Lets sanction Russia to death. I happily give away weapons for free to Ukraine.

  51. I hope the Russian version of this event is the true one. Simply because it is the more hillarious one if the flagship of the Russian navy manage to sink before it even gets into combat xD Swedish naval history have similiar pathetic fiascos, like when we built the most powerful warship in the world and then it started tip over to the side a bit after a powerful wind - and that in turn made the ammunition magazine explode before the ship even had a chance to fire a shot against the Danish and Netherlandic fleet. And the Danish and Dutch sailors who was prepared for battle just looked stunned from their ships as they watched the most powerful warship in the world blow up by itself before it had taken a single hit by the enemy.

  52.  @persallnas5408  Det tar 5 år att bli en hyfsat bra Gripen pilot. Så att få dit planen på bara 2 år är nog inte illa pinkat. Att skicka Gripen in i strid för tidigt kommer bara leda till förstörda flygplan och dödade erfarna Ukrainska piloter samtidigt som vi skattebetalare har blivit 20 miljarder fattigare och behöver åratal att bygga nya flygplan för att ersätta de som förlorats. Vi ska därför skynda långsamt att hjälpa Ukraina.

  53. Get Ukraine 500-800 artillery pieces or so. That is probably enough to ensure victory. Ukraines russian made guns are running low on ammunition so western artillery is needed to replace those guns. The rest of the problem will probably sort themselves out. Bad logistics will destroy Putins new 1.2 million strong army. The men will freeze to death, starve to death, desertation, surrender, and simply start fragging their officers and openly protest and strike against their own leadership as losses starts piling up.

And if they are scared of covid, then they should drink amarone wine and eat their favorite junk food to live the last years of their lives as good as possible. They belong to another generation. They should realize that we are not interested in their advice. They should shut up. Every time they open their mouth nowadays they something stupid or fascist. They just humiliate themselves and ruin their own reputation and the legacy they have built up. Lifelong Chomsky fans have turned against him for his fascist Covid views. And his stance against Ukraine seems more to be based on his pathological anti-Americanism than any principled grounds. All of Americas enemies can always count on the traitor Chomsky to take their side.. no matter how rotten any anti-American regime might be.

  60. That is not a large sum of money. And I happily help Ukraine. We are many that do. This war is Russias fault and Ukraine should not have to suffer. Aside from humintarian reasons do we also have selfish reasons. Russia needs to learn a lesson. This should be a bloodbath so bad that they will never again consider attacking a neighbouring country. We are all tired of Russia. And now is enough. Let as many Russian troops as possible die so they never can attack anyone in the future.

  61. They have destroyed 1500 tanks - which is about 3 years of Russian tank production. 2000 trucks and 3000 armored vehicles have also been destroyed. Russia is losing men and material. They no longer have many modern tanks left so they use old T-62 tanks instead, and 20% of their professional soldiers have been died, and now they are forced to compensate their losses somehow - which is not easy without a mobilization, Russia is now so desperate that they now are even willing to push 50 year olds into service, and forcefully conscript illoyal manpower from the occupied Ukrainian territories to fill the ranks. And those units are armed with outdated world war 2 rifles. There has been a tough week for Ukraine. But now have a retreat been done and both in the east and south have Ukraine now finally built a strong defensive line on excellent terrain. And the only way to push through for an attacker is to suffer gigantic losses. Time is now ticking and Ukraine gets more and more western material and more reservist manpower. If Russia continues to charge it will bleed itself to death.

  62.  @paulgee1952  That is Putins plan. He wants to divide your country with extremes that hate each other, and Trump and Mike Johnson seems to be paid puppets. So I say try to get along with fellow americans. The hatred of radicals in the house, congress and senate should not spilt over to the American public. If americans listen to each other and try to get along even when opinions matters a lot will piss off Putin a lot. And that is how things should be. The US government should belong to the American people and NOT to russian money that have bribed a few politicians. Right now is one man holding all of Americas aid to Ukraine hostage. Against the will of the American people - including most republicans. This is harmful to Americas reputation worldwide and is therefore not in the national interest. This stance is therefore anti-american from my point of view.

  63. Russia can just f off and go home. They have no right to steal. They have no right to break international law which all other countries have to follow. They will learn the hard way. They can try to use nuclear weapons - but that will only lead to the extinction of the Russian gene pool when Nato retaliates. They can try a conventional war and getting utterly destroyed. Russia is a cowardly coutnry and will therefore never go to war with Nato. So no, WW3 will not happen. And giving away land to Russia for peace is pointless. They gave away Crimea in 2014, but that never created any lasting peace we can see today... What says that if Russia gets Donbass, that it will not try to attack Ukraine again within another 8 years? So therefore is the only option left to fight Russia now and not later when Ukraine will be even weaker and Russia had the chance to recover from her losses. It is time to fight and kick as hard as one possibly can. Being kind to Russia gives no rewards at all.

  66. They acted careful to not trigger a nuclear war. And it is easy to say things in hindsight. And political and military leaders do probably have more complex things to take into account than just sit in the audiance and write drastic comments/solutions to various problems. So I would not judge the leaders too harshly for acting carefully and methodically forward instead of doing everything in one big blow. However, 2 years has past and I wish things could go a little bit faster.

  68. Peter the Great was just a Stalin of the 1700s. He murdered Ukrainians in huge amounts - by impaling them with a wooden pole up their b*tthole. He burned down towns and villages on the Swedish east coast in 1721. Russians occupation of Finland 1714-1721 was an endless story of murder, plunder, rape, and kids being kidnapped and growing up to become Russians or sold into slavery. Peter himself loved to murder people just for fun. He himself could take pickaxe and knock out peoples teeths or he could put fireworks into someones mouth and make them explode. He even murdered his own son Alexei when he was drunk. This is the idol in history that the Russian people have. An alcoholic brutal mass murderer, warmonger, and person who did not value human life. He was a tall guy - 206 cm with his boots still on. So therefore he loved dwarfs. And he collected them all and built a city for them outside St Petersburg.

  69. The Soviet troops who invaded nazi Germany thought that toilets were used for cleaning potatoes. A Hungarian woman got a bunch of Soviet soldiers breaking into her home. They got hungry and decided to clean their potatoes in the toilet water. One guy flushed the toilet so some of the potatoes "dissapeared". That made this hungry guy so angry that he decided to smash her toilet to pieces... And when Soviet troops invaded Finland during the winter war they did often walk into empety homes of Finns who had fled. And then they used to homes to take cover from the cold. And since they did not know what a toilet was... did they often just carve up a hole into the floor where they could take a 💩. And other times did they just 💩 on the floor. So when a Finnish family moved back to there home it was usually in a terrible condition.

  71. Indeed. Let's stick togheter. And bit by bit can the world become more democratic, country after country. I do not believe that decision making in democracies are particulary smart. Nor do I deny that some dictators like Park Chung Hee, Frederick the Great and the dictators in todays China have made their countries rich and powerful. But in the end do I think that everyone wants to live in freedom and not in fear and opression. So a democratic world is better in that regard.

  72. Salvini have won back some of the respect that I had lost for him after his flirting with Putin. He is now supporting Ukraine. And that is good. He is now on the right side of history like other right-wing populists and nationalists like the Sweden democrats. There is a civil war going on within the nationalist right. Alternative for Germany is strongly pro-Putin, so this have created a huge divide within the "populist right" (excuse me for using this term out of lack of a better option). In the next EU parliament election this year will pro-putin parties like AFD and Le Pen most likely be unable to form a coalition with Salvinis party and the Sweden democrats for that reason.

  75. I think the Swedens largest blogger on economics and defence formulated things well: "Ukraine is currently taking the brunt as a defender of the prosperity, welfare, freedom and democracy of the EU and NATO countries, by taking the fight against Russia on its land and it is Ukrainians who are killed, murdered, tortured and raped by Russian troops, while large parts of the country are laid in ruins by the Russian attacks and terrorist bombings. As a bastion of Europe's freedom, it is the EU's and NATO's damned moral obligation to finance Ukraine's reconstruction, but also to take care of refugees and the injured. The alternative to a Ukrainian victory in Ukraine is that Russia continues and attacks further against EU countries such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Finland and Sweden, possibly also Romania, and of course Moldova (which iofs as Europe's poorest country is neither in the EU or NATO). Ukraine is bleeding and saving us from the same fate, so we must be prepared to finance reconstruction and until the victory receive refugees and injured." https://cornucopia.se/2022/04/eu-och-nato-har-en-moralisk-skyldighet-att-finansiera-ukrainas-ateruppbyggnad-efter-segern-och-ta-hand-om-flyktingar-och-skadade/ (translation made with Google translate)

Russia could not even construct a nuclear reactor safely.. Chernobyl cough cough. The concrete in the Kerch have also already started to crack at many places due to corruption and shoddy construction. But it doesn't matter. That bridge will soon be destroyed anyways.

  77. Ukraine needs foreign aid to be able to field an army of 800.000 men. It doesn't have enought tax payers to keep such a large army mobilized otherwise. It needs food, ammunition and artillery ammunition and tanks. This is not like Vietnam with a limited war where a super power is respecting the Geneva convention. This is a large industrial war. A genocidal war. Of course are the Ukrainians fighting as hard as they can to avoid getting murdered in a genocide and live under opression. But if you fight against a huge mechanized artillery army you need heavy equipment as well unless you are going to suffer heavy losses. And russia got a lot of people they can lose, and the russian people do not care about the lives of their own soldiers and how many they lose in that slave state. Russia can afford to lose more men than Ukraine. And without weapons to fight tanks, artillery and planes will Ukrainian losses sky rocket. There are no jungles here to hide. The comparison to Vietnam is ignorant and stupid.

  78.  @greyfox9224  The vehicles on my list are the best of their class in the world, while the others are not.. (okay one can argue that M1 Abrams is better than Leo, but since they are never going to be used by anyone else than US army do I think that Leo is the best that Ukraine could expect here). Frankly am I surprised that that the Germans even send as modern variants as A5 and A6... which are even more modern than those used by the Swedish army. I was more expecting that they would get old A4 tanks such as those used by Finland and those old reserve tanks Spain offered earlier. A4 is not bad, altough they are very old and vulnerable to modern hand held anti-tank weapons. But compared to Russian junk like t72 would they probably dominate the battlefield. Challanger2 is probably better than those old altough it was probably long since UK gave its tanks any upgrade package. Leopard2A7 togheter with Abrams remains the best tanks in the world today.

  79.  @manishdyall4779  It includes shells that are built this year in Europe, and it includes ammunition stored up on shelves in ammunition depots around Europe which can be used until ammunition production have been ramped up suffiecently to keep up with the demand from the frontline. That is what I got out from the EU press conferance in Stockholm, and my own interpretation and reading between the lines of what they were saying. Japan have also openly said that they will begin giving deadly weapons to Ukraine. So I take that as a sign that Japanese 155mm shells might be available in the future. I also know that USA have been buying South Korean ammunition and been giving it to Ukraine. And given how Switzerland have given Germany Leopard2 tanks, and Germany in turn have given their own Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.. I would not be surprised if "neutral" countries would act a bit in the same way regarding ammunition. And I think that the example of South Korea highlights that. Also countries in the middle east is of importance to gain access to more rockets for the rocket artillery, and Egypt is an example of that. 152mm Soviet ammunition is rare and difficult for Ukraine to get their hands on because it is made in Russia. East European countries have given what they have stored and ammo has been bought from Arabia. But demand still outstrips supply. So ammunition factories in Ukraine and Bulgaria is producing what they can to supply Ukraine with soviet shells. I don't see artillery shells as an acute crisis anymore. Because Ukraine does not have a large stock of western artillery and a steady flow of ammunition. Russia on the other hand is consuming shells at an unsubstainable rate. Their artillery fire is more inaccurate and that problem is only getting worse. It now lacks counter-battery radars. And it lacks modern artillery pieces, modern ammunition, good crews, good artillery crews and good intelligence and they do not even seem to bother sending up drones to correct their artillery fire after a miss. So Russias artillery is getting weaker and weaker each month. While Ukraines remains about the same as before. It might even become better as crews earns more skills, and as effectivness is not reduced by counter-battery fire anymore when Russia have no counter-battery radars. And a future shipment of another hundred extra M109 artillery pieces from Italy will strongly boost Ukraines capabilities even further. And if things continue down the same path as for the last one and a half year of this war, then would I not be surprised if Ukraine gets ATACMS missiles for their HIMARS - something which would make it impossible to make large supply concentrations 300km near the frontline. It would nearly become hopeless to make any organized resistence when your logistical system is in such ruins. To me it seems more likely that Russia runs out of artillery fire first. There are many signs that Russia is running low on ammunition. The Wagner group complains about the lack of ammunition. Old T-55 tanks are put into service as artillery pieces - and perhaps because Russia is running low on ammunition of other calibres so they resort to using 100mm tank guns instead of 152mm and 122mm Howitzers. And lastly do russia convert anti-ship missiles and air-defence missiles into attacking ground targets instead - and that makes me suspect that Russia is running low on ground attack missiles. Because why else would they convert an expensive missile and waste it in that way on a job that its not even designed to do? If Russia had a plenty of cruise missiles for attacking land based targets, then why aren't it using those instead?

  81. Germany occupied most of western Russian in 1941. 60% of Russia's GDP laid in German hands. But lend lease came to Russia. And the invader was beaten back. But people like you would of course have said that it would be pointless to continue to fight. So much land had been lost that further resistence would be hopeless. Better to just give up. That is what people like you have said back in 1941.

  83. Why should any person listen to the UN anyways? Saudiarabia sits in the council for human rights and they also have another key position in the UN, as they sit in the Commission for womens right's. Indeed, Saudiarabia - the country who behead people of the crime of being homosexual, atheist, or for they have been accused of doing the crime of committing "witchcraft and sorcery". Saudiarabia have the exact same harsh interpretation of islam as ISIS. And this sh*thole country is having the highest positions in the UN and should teach us others about human rights 🙄 F*ck this stupid joke. UNs human rights chief have also condemned Nigel Farage, as if people had committed a crime when they voted in favor of Brexit. And then we have all the mess regarding all bribes in the WHO which is another chapter in itself... I cannot take the UN seriously. And I don't anyone else should either.

  86. Harsh words from one jew to another jew. And well yeah, Kissinger is probably not going down well in the history books. The Nobel prize winner who helped creating Pinotchets dictatorship... He did stand for a hard line towards North Vietnam. And understandbly so. But now when Ukraine is under attack he does not give that country the same hardline a backing. From my year of studying law I will say that one important word sums up 80% of what laws is all about: Precedent. Either you upheld a law and apply it to everyone. Or the law falls apart and it apply to no one. If Russia thinks it can ignore the rules based international order and ignore all laws, invade countries and commit warcrimes... and they get away with it - then surely you will get more people who wanna try to do the same thing. And it was not enough to give 20% of Georgia to Putin. It was not to give him Crimea. And it surely is not enough to give him Donbass and Luhansk. He wants to take all of Ukraine. Everyone with an IQ above 60 realize this. Next on the line is probably Moldavia. And I bet that Putin would wish he could take Finland, the Baltics and Poland as well. I say we have to stand up against Putin. And if we don't stand up against Putin now, then when should we do it? Ukraine was a too big country to eat up in one chew for Putin. So I suggest we arm Ukraine. It got a brave army with a great fighting spirit. And even those cynical scumbags not caring about Ukraine, should realize that giving weapons to Ukraine is a way of good self-defence. Russia gets weakened without us having to waste our own blood in order to do so. Personally I think it is a bit shameful to not fighting ourselves... but it is better than doing nothing I guess - just ask the Ukrainians what they think... And I don't cry about all Swedish surplus weapons that are being used up or destroyed in combat. We can build more of those. And we got time to do so. And those weapons were built to fight Russians... and the only difference is that AT4 is now fired by an Ukrainian pair of hands instead of a Swedish pair of hands. Personally I think it is beautiful that Swedish steel are used to defend freedom, the independence of one people, and fighting evil. We build long term friendships with other countries - in this case the largest country in Europe with 40 million people. We gave them help when they were on their knees. And one day when independent Ukraine thanks to its large resources become a rich and very powerful country in Europe, we do have a big and powerful grateful friend by our side. I think other countries should be reasoning in the same way. I also think it is time for the non-western countries to stop licking Putins butt. They might dislike the west for a mix of good and bad reasons. But this war is not about EU and USA. It is about if one think it is acceptable to start an unprovoved war and commit war crimes. 3rd world countries need to realize that Russia is not their friends. Now Putin is willing to murder hundreds of millions of people with starvation by blocking the Ukrainian food supplies to Africa, Asia and elsewhere. It is now in their self-interest to stand up against Putin and unite to get those damn ships with wheat transported without being attacked by Russian ships and planes. Or you can be okay with sitting down quiet and doing nothing and let 200 million people die from hunger. That is more than 3 times more than Hitler killed. That says a lot what scumbag Putin is. Not only do he murder civilians in Chechenya, Georgia, Syria, Ukraine and possibly also kills Russians in false flag attacks. He also threatens with nuclear war that can kill a billion people. If that is the man that countries like India wants as their friend, then I must ask what the hell is wrong with the moral compass in your country?

  93. That is not really the case. The Sweden democrats have doubled its voter support every election since the party was founded. But now have that trend been broken. And that is partly because they are part of the Swedish government now. And its easy to be for all good things and against all bad things when you are in opposition and does not have to take responsability for anything. Then you can promise everything to everyone and make everyone happy. But when you rule a country and have to make hard choices with limited resources, and is forced to make unpleasant distasteful compromises with other parties that your own voters dislike - then of course do that party lose support. They have now abandoned the idea of a Swexit, which is a reason why I have changed from a voter of this party to an enemy of it. They also now support neoliberal economics, nuclear power and such after the leftwing flank of the party has been outmanouvered and rightwing party members like Oscar Sjöstedt and Tobias Andersson gotten more say. Åkesson was originally a Conservative voter of the Swedish moderate party. However he disliked the party's stance for an EU membership so he founded this party as a protest. But now have he turned away from his roots and become in favor of the EU instead. And instead of being a pro-Sweden party, its more like a one-trick pony party that is just anti-immigration. Otherwise its just like any other boring rightwing party, and not much populist at all.

  97. ​ AndyWoohoo666  I do not doubt Emil Eneblad is pro-Sweden and against russia. I am quite happy seeing this video actually because there are people with some correct views that are not like the party leadership that is towing the Kremlin line. So I got nothing personally against Emil or the average Sweden democrat. What I do hate about politics is all enigmatic statements, where politicians gives a hint what they really wanna do, but does not dare to say unpopular things openly because then would everyone stop voting for them. Like that Trump cannot openly say that he supports the dictatorship russia and wants to throw Ukraine under the bus. Party leader Jimmie Åkessons statement that we cannot give endless support to Ukraine should fall into the same category as Trumps statements that he wants to make peace over a single day (and the only way to achieve this is to betray Ukraine and cut all US military aid to them, and since Europe does not have the military muscles to compensate for a US withdrawal of support would this be catastrophic for Ukraine). All these other nonsense ideas imported from the populist right in USA and continental Europe also becomes extremely silly in a Swedish context. We do not have many religious fundamentalists here in Sweden like in USA, Hungary or Poland. A large part of the population are atheists, and I guess the majority are non-practionary believers. So obsessing about abortion makes no sense in a Swedish context. The issue is dead here. If you try to take away womens rights your party will tank. And cancel culture and woke are things they obsess about in USA, Germany and Hungary. We do not need those things here. We are adults. We got better issues to talk about. So flirting with these Putinists parties is something the Sweden democrats has done for some years now. And that is not a good sign, when we see Le Pen, Trump, Farage, AFD, Orban, Wilders, Fico side with Russia. So the Sweden democrats should stay Swedish and democrat. And not continental European. I think your literarly interpretation of what Åkesson said is incorrect. You have to read between the lines. And you also have to look at the wider context when this statement has been made. Talking about an upper limit is just silly. This is a war very much in our national interest, and then we should spend a large chunk of our GDP to win it. Borrow and spend the money needed to win and taking up the bill can we do later is probably what we would have done if Finland was attacked by the Commies. And I think we should do a similiar thing for Ukraine. I am not saying we should give Ukraine half of our GDP or something. Right now have both Norway and Denmark given more of their GDP to Ukriaine than Sweden so talking about upper limits to our aid to Ukraine now is just silly. A totally useless statement, unless its meant as russian propaganda. We are surrounded by other Nato countries. What will happen if we gave away "too much" weapons to Ukraine? Will Denmark that just gave away all of their artillery to Ukraine now see a chance to invade Sweden and retake Scania after some 350 years? Our military equipment was built with only one possible enemy in mind. So I see it as a criminal waste of resources that we do not put it into its intended use. Its better that the enemy is fought in Ukraine than having to fight him here in Sweden later on as I sees it. Losing a CV90 in battle and having its crew killed is tragic. But from a cynical selfish Swedish perspective is it better that Ukrainian are the ones fighting inside that CV90 than we are losing our own countrymen doing this fight. Ukrainians will die in this war no matter what, and we have the ability to save Ukrainian lives by giving them better weapons. We can build more vehicles. We can pick up the price tab later. Our government made a huge military support package for Ukraine of 70 billion Swedish crowns (about 7 Billion Euros). That is much defense money even for countries like Germany and USA, just to put some scale to things. However are we drowning ourselves in debt as Åkesson and the Russian bots say? Not really. 70 billion out of Sweden's GDP of 5000 billion per year, is not crushing us. So either are the people making this argument clueless about economics. Or they are insincere dishonest liars that tries to mislead the public to help russia.
