@mikaelgrev Vi kan ju alltid avskaffa den allmäna löneavgiften som inskaffades 1995 och gå ner 12% i arbetstid. Men vänstern lever ju i en fantasivärld.
I am in Sweden today on a working visit. We are preparing a major defense package for Ukraine and a strong step regarding Gripen fighter jets, which will definitely make our combat aviation more effective. Meetings are scheduled today with Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, and representatives of the Swedish defense industry will also be present in the delegation format.
Thank you, @SwedishPM, for ensuring that our relations – between Ukraine and Sweden – are always substantive, and that our cooperation is strong.
I am grateful to all the MPs who so promptly ratified the agreement with the European Union on €90 billion in support for Ukraine over two years. These funds will strengthen our resilience and help protect the lives of our people, rebuild what has been destroyed by Russian strikes, and defend our independence. This was one of the most important votes – one that demonstrates the constructive nature of our joint work and our readiness to hear one another. Unity in Ukraine is what always works for Ukraine. I am also grateful to our European partners for their readiness to stand with Ukraine and provide meaningful support for our defense, our diplomacy, and our recovery. Ukraine is defending Europe with all its strength, and full support for Ukraine will certainly strengthen all of Europe as well. Glory to Ukraine!
🇸🇪🇨🇦 I welcome Canada’s decision to move forward with GlobalEye as its new airborne capability for Airborne Early Warning and Control. Canada is set to join Sweden, France and the UAE in operating a highly modern and capable system. (1/3)
@Rymdsonden@MansRAD En hemläxa för marinen kanske? Flygvapnet och Armén känns bättre på att kommunicera vad som gör. Marinen behöver kanska vara mer öppna för att få ökad förståelse av folk som inte är insatta.
The Nordic Paradox
Americans still think Sweden is socialist.
Meanwhile Sweden quietly became one of the most market-driven innovation economies in the world.
A country with:
giant welfare systems,
low corruption,
powerful unions,
massive tech companies,
more billionaires per capita than most of Europe,
and one of the highest levels of social trust on Earth.
The Nordic model was never really “anti-capitalist.”
It was high-trust capitalism.
The real secret: Nordics optimized society like an engineering problem.
Efficient institutions
Digital infrastructure
Long-term planning
High human capital
Low bureaucracy in business creation
Strong property rights
Stable regulations
Extreme trust in contracts and institutions
Result?
Innovation scales faster because friction is lower.
That is why countries like Sweden produce companies like:
Spotify
Klarna
Ericsson
Saab
IKEA
The paradox is that strong states sometimes create stronger markets.
Because functioning infrastructure, education, energy systems, digitalization and legal stability reduce uncertainty.
And uncertainty is poison for innovation.
The same philosophy appears in Nordic defense thinking: distributed systems, network warfare, redundancy, autonomy, resilience.
Not giant centralized empires. Smart networks.
The Nordic countries behave less like ideological states… and more like highly optimized operating systems.
“Socialism” was the branding.
Systems engineering was the real product. 😄
