Just an armchair chieftain trying to make sense of world politics and conflicts. 100% pro-Ukraine, 100% pro-democracy.

Born and raised in Sweden. Exported to Canada. Lived about half my life in Canada. I love both countries.

The profile picture is a replica of a Viking helmet. And no, the Vikings didn't have horns on their helmets. That was introduced in Wagner's opera The Ring of the Nibelung.

The header picture is of the Viking castle in Trelleborg (also called Trelleborgen).

@anderspuck @TV2nyhederne The balance shifts over to release the brakes. I for one is pissed off that the US stops Sweden to send JAS Gripen now. It would be perfect for the way the UAAF move their air strips.

A few volleys of air-to-air would stop the glide bombs.

Sweden announces that they are donating, amongst other, two Airborne Early Warning & Control airplanes to Ukraine. It will be very interesting to see how long it takes to transfer the airframes, train crew and personnel for PICO. In case Ukraine is permitted to use their western-provided AAW missiles over Russian territory, then I think this will be a major help in early identification and targeting. https://apnews.com/article/sweden-ukraine-military-aid-bd1001a45e7fff44cf4c766b84e76ace

Russian style mine clearance.

Russian Soldier: After being released from captivity, they were sent home for a two-week period. Following this, they were returned back and got sent into a field. They said, there's a trench behind that grove, you just need to cross the field, our guys are over there, go there. Without a bulletproof vest, without a weapon, without anything and the field was mined. They just walked and after 5-10 metres they got blown up. They demined the field. Interrogator: So this is how you demine a field in the Russian Federation? Russian Soldier: Yes. Interrogator: I see, not bad.

Everyone lucid in the West is freaking out about the rise of fascist thinking, well, everywhere.

Why? Didn't we defeat this obscenity 80 years ago after much suffering? Why is it resurging?

The problem is not that people don't learn from history (they don't but it's another issue), the problem is that fascism is always with us. Since the dawn of time, and forever more.

All fascism requires is:

  1. ignorance
  2. indecency
  3. a demagogue to yoke these walnut brains and ride them to power

I have received an email from a viewer of my YouTube channel who is dissatisfied that my latest video is not labeled as AI generated content when it is clearly a badly made deep fake. Not quite sure if I should take that as a criticism of my own performance or blame the front facing camera on my iPhone? 😂
