@Jeff21461@KampfmitKette The Bofors that Sweden sent to Baltikum later ended up in Ukraine was radar guided. And the fire control system was modernised in late 80th or 90th. They should popp cruise missile. And they also got proxy fuse grenades.
This isn't a drill. Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb just dropped a massive warning on PBS: Donald Trump is actively laying the groundwork to declare a national emergency to manipulate the upcoming midterm elections.
According to Cobb, the plan being cooked up by Trump’s inner circle (including Steve Bannon) involves weaponizing emergency powers to stop a Democratic takeover at all costs:
Voter Intimidation: Deploying the National Guard or ICE agents to polling stations, specifically targeting and chilling minority voter turnout.
Seizing Voting Machines: Reviving the failed 2020 plot to confiscate election infrastructure under the guise of an "emergency crisis."
Trump's tyrannical demands to strip ABC and NBC of their broadcast licenses for skipping his speech weren't just a random tantrum—they are part of a calculated narrative to convince his base that a massive plot is underway. When Trump’s own elite White House lawyers tell you he is preparing to bypass the constitution, believe them. 🇺🇸⚠️ #Trump #USPolitics #Midterms2026 #NationalEmergency #Democracy
@McFaul And europe awoid buying US made weapons for its own armies too, if we can. Europe buy some for and on the behalf of Ukraine though.
This is a major shift. Even Canada favour Europe made over US.
I guess we will see this change in other important sectors too, like turbines etc.
Update from the reflecting pool! The pool has been drained, and there are no signs of the giant gash that Donald Trump has been lying about. No indications of major vandalism. Just a bad paint job. The only thing that’s been exposed is that Trump has been lying about this.
@aktiechaffisen Men det är inte så illa om man tar hänsyn till 109 mil i engångs kostnaderna. Så istället för ca -37% så skulle det hamna kring minus -10%.
Marco Rubio: “That’s the law. It’s an international waterway. No country is allowed to charge tolls on an international waterway. That’s international law. That’s the way it is all over the world, and that’s the way we expect it will be here.”
Trump: “We’re charging tolls.”
The Strait of Hormuz was opened every single day of the eight years of the Obama administration.
And we didn't have to bomb anyone to achieve that goal.
Iran also never acquired a nuclear weapon in those 8 Obama years.
And we didn't have to bomb anyone to achieve that goal.
The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board tears apart Trump’s tariffs in a blistering editorial:
“The President is right that his tariffs are at work—in destroying U.S. jobs and raising prices. The U.S. has lost some 75,000 manufacturing jobs since January 2025, including 25,900 in motor vehicle and parts production...
there’s no question his tariffs are raising costs for U.S. manufacturers.…Mr. Trump and his advisers claim that foreigners pay his border taxes, but the evidence shows that U.S. companies, workers and consumers are picking up most of the tab.
The Anderson Economic Group estimates that auto tariffs on Canada and Mexico alone added about $1,600 to the cost of each car made in the U.S. last year. While auto makers absorbed some of the Trump tariff costs, they also passed on a large share to customers…Call it the Trump tax.”
