För att sedan fortsätta med ett raljerande "Nästa hållplats: Poltava!".

Skall vi gissa att skribenten inte är en av dem som är beredda att försvara Sverige?

[Thomas Westerberg 💙💛 @Mogarych]

Må vara en "kommenterande text" i @dagensnyheter men rubrikerna? Det är en jä-a skillnad på att "vilja" och "vara beredd att dö för sitt land"...

[Thomas Westerberg 💙💛 @Mogarych]

Hur får man sedan ihop att om man är
beredd att dö för sitt land så tycker man att "den ryska köttkvarnstaktiken verkar rimlig eller att slaget vid Verdun 1916 var en militärstrategisk succé"?

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Right then.
Let me explain something very slowly, because it appears some basic logic has gone missing somewhere over the Atlantic.

No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, threatening to annex their territory, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to come running to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. That is not how alliances work. That is not how anything works.

You abused the UK. You threatened Canada. You tried to grab Greenland. You called the EU an adversary. You praised Putin, the one man every serious NATO ally has spent decades preparing to fight. You hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. You undermined European elections. You abandoned Ukraine. You imposed tariffs on your closest partners. You did all of this loudly, proudly, and on camera.
And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls.

Here is a question worth sitting with. Why do you think that is? Is it possible, just possible, that when you treat your allies like enemies for over a year while cuddling up to their actual enemy, those allies might update their opinion of you? Is that concept too complicated? Does that require more working memory than is currently available?

You did not plan this war with your allies. You did not consult them. You did not build a coalition. You started a conflict, watched it go sideways, and then got on your knees asking for help from people you spent fourteen months calling weak, corrupt and irrelevant.

NATO is not what it was. Not because Europe changed. Because Washington made crystal clear which side it is on. And it is not ours.

You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait.

Їх убили, але їхній голос настільки гучний, що МОК їх боїться.
Я переконаний, що ми не порушували жодних правил МОК (славнозвісне правило 50), а отже, маємо повне право вдягати цей шолом.
Завдяки їхній жертві ми сьогодні живі й можемо бути частиною цих Олімпійських ігор. І я щиро вважаю, що саме завдяки їхній жертві ці Олімпійські ігри взагалі сьогодні можуть проходити.
Хоч МОК і хоче зрадити пам’ять цих спортсменів, я їх не зраджу.
—
They were killed, but their voice is so loud that the IOC is afraid of them.
I am convinced that we did not violate any IOC rules (the infamous Rule 50), and therefore we have every right to wear this helmet.
Thanks to their sacrifice, we are alive today and can be part of these Olympic Games. And I sincerely believe that it is precisely because of their sacrifice that these Olympic Games can take place at all today.
Even though the IOC wants to betray the memory of these athletes, I will not betray them.

This is so unbearably heartbreaking... As a parent, I don't even dare to imagine such meaningless cruelty happening to your child. Yet this is the reality for so many Ukrainian parents. Why are the rest of us ok with this???

Vi fick precis indirekt ett uppdrag ifrån Ukrainas ambassadör @svitlanaza i Sverige. ”- Vi behöver fler Patriot luftvärn, mer gasimport och fler SMÅ ENKLARE ELVERK”

Dom första grejerna överlämnar vi till @SwedishPM. Men med hjälp av er följare kan vi absolut lösa den sista punkten! Vad säger ni, ska vi dra ihop en lastbil i julklapp?

Dela detta och skänk en slant så lovar vi leverans innan jul!

Russia wishes it were part of Europe, but it doesn’t belong anywhere. It is not European, it is not Asian, and it doesn’t fit among the Central Asian states like Kazakhstan or Turkmenistan either. It has become a geopolitical wasteland, a long cold corridor between successful nations in the East and West.

Russia contributes nothing. No innovation, no technology, no progress. No computers, no cars, no smartphones, no ideas. Just oil, corruption, and decay. The world moves forward, and Russia stays frozen in time, clutching its myths and memories.

And here is the truth no one in Moscow wants to hear. If Russia vanished tomorrow, the world would not even flinch. No one would notice. No one would care. No one wants them back.

She was born under Russian fire.
She died under Russian fire.

Angelina came into this world in 2022 — during a Russian shelling. Yesterday, Russia killed her and her mother. They were among the dead in a missile strike on Kyiv.

Another Ukrainian child who never knew peace.

Ännu en svensk krigsfrivillig har nu stupat på Ukrainas sida

https://t.co/pqDNkWHzwZ

Det handlar om 35-årige Andreas Broman från Sandviken och totalt har nu ett 15-tal svenskar stupat i kriget sedan 2022.

@KarinaVinnikova @MatBabiak I think he confused Ukraine with russia. The russians lost a lot of turrets. Here's one laying on its side...

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

11th anniversary of the Revolution of Dignity.

On 21 November 2013, 1,500 people gathered on Maidan Nezalezhnosti to protest pro-Russian President Yanukovych's refusal to sign #Ukraine's long-anticipated #EU association agreement.

By 30 November, hundreds of activists, mostly students, remained on the streets but were brutally dispersed by police. This sparked mass outrage, and on 1 December, hundreds of thousands filled central #Kyiv, protesting corruption, power usurpation, and pro-Russian policies. Thus began the Revolution of Dignity, which united nearly a million people and cost over a hundred lives.

Ukraine has never accepted a system dictated by #Russia. The nation has carried its fight forward, refusing to yield. What began as the shooting of peaceful protesters has escalated into the bombing of civilian neighborhoods. Yet, the echoes of the Revolution of Dignity resonate still, fueling Ukraine's resistance in this war, started by Russia and waged to this day.
