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).

Four Russian soldiers receive a Ukrainian gift from above. Three are put out of action. The fourth soldier is like "See you later, boys! Gotta go!"

Three out of four Russian soldiers are disabled by shrapnel from a drone dropped munition. The fourth leaves them all behind.

Of course he is a Tsar wannabe. Building a new empire since the last one failed miserably. Instead of going down in history as Vladimir the Great, he'll go down as the guy who ruined the Russian Federation and turned it into a vassal state of China.

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? 😂

When you have a cult of followers who not only willingly believe everything you say (no matter how wrong it is), but repeat it, and then buy all the merchandise you put out for sale... (and not only buy said merchandise, but wear it proudly...), then you don't really care what normal people think.

I'm just curious. After donating all the CAESAR SPHs to Ukraine, why did Denmark choose ATMOS and PULS from Israel instead of working out the kinks with Nexter Systems for new CAESARs and then buy HIMARS' from Lockheed Martin for long range MRLS? The ATMOS and PULS manufacturer is an Israeli company (non-NATO member), whereas the other two other manufacturers are from countries that are NATO members.

A poll released on May 30 by the Levada Center, a Russian independent polling organization, found that 71% of respondents believed is "going in the right direction," and another 87% said they supported Russian President Vladimir .

A Russian tank with a cope cage is hit by a Ukrainian drone. Nice short turret and cope cage toss and instant crematorium. No white Ladas for the relatives since the tank crew went MIA.

Okay, this is Russian drone footage from the 2nd Guards Tank Army. A Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley is hit, but the crew survives and is rescued by a second Bradley. Leave no one behind. Heroiam slava!

Recommendations for thermostat setting from a leading consumer organization

You’ll save about 3 percent on your utility bill for every degree you raise the set temperature for your central air, according to the Department of Energy.

• 78° F when you’re home
• 85° F when you’re at work or away
• 82° F when you’re sleeping

These setting may not work in Florida or other east cost locations near water because of the humidity.

Yep. Don't underestimate the power of humidity.

I hope Stoltenberg doesn't just retire when his term as NATO Secretary General ends. This man has stood steadfastly by Ukraine since the first day of full-scale war. We need more people like him... people of principle.

Belgian arms which are to be supplied to under the recently signed security agreement, including F-16 fighter jets, are intended for use only on Ukrainian territory, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De said during a press conference on May 28.

De Croo's statement comes amid a growing discussion among Western allies about whether to allow Ukrainian forces to strike military targets on Russian soil.

The 15-year-old Uighur climbed Mount Everest in a T-shirt and shorts to escape Chinese oppression in Xinjiang. If that doesn't show you how bad the CCP is, nothing will.
