@ZelenskyyUa The key to victory for Ukraine is to destroy Russian desire to continue the war. Wars are almost impossible to win with zero public support. So Ukraine is clearly winning.
We have comprehensive intelligence reports on Russia’s plans for the fall. Putin is preparing the conditions for expanding mobilization. His casualty figures speak for themselves. In less than seven months this year, 221,000 people have joined the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces. During the same period, Russian casualties have amounted to nearly 225,500, among them 131,000 killed and almost 93,000 wounded. A significant share of those wounds are severe, as frontline medical care in Russia is catastrophically poor.
Putin is preparing to simply send more Russians to war. He disguises it with different words and signals, but that is what he is preparing to do. It is crucial that, together with our partners, we exert enough pressure on Russia so that the idea of ending this aggression becomes the dominant one – the idea of peace, not of another Russian mobilization.
🚨Roy Keane: "Spain showed the world how to beat Argentina they even made Messi look ordinary.
🗣️ Roy Keane
Spain were absolutely outstanding. They didn't just beat Argentina, they controlled them. For long spells they even made Lionel Messi look ordinary, and that's something almost no team has managed to do for the last twenty years.
People always talk about stopping Messi as if it's impossible, but Spain didn't obsess over one player. They dominated the midfield, pressed as a unit, kept the ball and refused to let Argentina dictate the rhythm. That's how you compete against great teams.
Other national teams should study that performance. You don't beat Argentina by sitting back and hoping for luck you beat them with courage, discipline and control. Spain gave a football lesson tonight, and every coach in the world should be watching it.
Richard Jomshof (SD) ( @RichardJomshof ) ger Ardalan Shekarabi (S) ( @shekarabi ) en rak känga
”Självklart är det så att Sverige är svenskarnas land.”
SD toppen Richard Jomshof svarar skarpt på Ardalan Shekarabis attack mot svenskhet.
”Detta svenskhat måste få ett slut. Enligt socialdemokraten Ardalan Shekarabi är det alltså rasistiskt att företräda åsikten att Sverige primärt är och ska vara det svenska folkets land”, skriver Jomshof.
Han fortsätter:
”Svenskarna har kämpat i generationer för att bygga det land Shekarabi nu medvetet försöker rasera genom att företräda en politik som är på väg att göra svenskarna till en minoritet i sitt eget land.
Dels genom påtvingad mångkulturalism och massinvandring, dels genom att försöka förminska svenskarna som folk och svenskarnas rätt till självbestämmande i sitt eget land.”
Sedan kommer den direkta kängan mot Shekarabi:
”Till Shekarabi kan jag bara säga att det är inte lite fräckt att komma till Sverige (illegalt dessutom), ta del av allt det som Sverige har att erbjuda och sedan anklaga svenskarna – Sveriges ursprungliga befolkning – för rasism. Detta enkom för att man sätter sitt eget land och sitt eget folk främst och för att man vill säkerställa att Sverige förblir svenskarnas land även i framtiden.”
Uproar in the Russian military today, after Putin installs his cousin's niece as a Lieutenant General in the Army, a woman with no relevant experience other than as a hospital psychiatrist since 1996.
The appointment of Anna Tsivileva has caused disdain among career military, as this position can normally take 30 years to achieve.
