Sverige är fullt av människor som hellre suckar i köket än säger ifrån vid bordet. Vi kallar det hänsyn, mognad och konflikträdsla i lagom doser, men ofta handlar det bara om ren unfallenhet. Den som beter sig illa får fortsätta, eftersom omgivningen är upptagen med att inte skapa “dålig stämning”.

Vi ser det överallt: i föreningar, på arbetsplatser, i politiken och i offentligheten. Den som skriker högst, bryter mot normerna eller beter sig hänsynslöst möts inte av motstånd utan av ursäkter, processmöten eller arga inlägg på FB. Svensken tror ofta att passivitet är civiliserad. I själva verket blir den ofta en form av feghet med artigt tonfall.

Ett samhälle som inte vågar säga nej i tid tvingas till slut hantera konsekvenserna i panik…

Russia is stupidly provoking WWIII by resisting the Great Power of Ukraine. Putin should stop the killing and give up territory for peace. Thanks for tuning in to the latest episode of Realist Geopolitics.

Unia Europejska jest niedoskonała, irytująca, nudna, ale niczego lepszego w naszej historii nie wymyśliliśmy. Czas pokoju, dobrobytu, wolności, demokracji i solidarności między narodami przez wieki walczącymi ze sobą to cud. Niech trwa jak najdłużej.

I came to Amsterdam to say this without fear: Russia’s hybrid warfare in Africa is intentionally engineered not only to exploit resources and destabilize nations, but also to generate instability that drives large-scale migration toward Europe and weakens EU democracy & cohesion.

Hard to believe, but in March 2022 Pete Hegseth criticized the Biden administration for not "equipping and supplying Ukraine with what it needs" fast enough to "bog down and push back" Putin, who "wants the Soviet Union back, Ukraine back, and Kyiv back."
