Vi nordbor är Ukrainas ursprungsbefolkning.
För 5000 år sen invaderade Yamnayafolket Danmark, södra Sverige och Norge.
Vi ersatte nästan helt den tidigare kulturen här som hade rötter i nuvarande Turkiet.
Därifrån var vi dominerande till idag utan större inblandning.
Ännu idag är vår största genetiska komponent från Yamnayafolket i nuvarande Ukraina, 50-60%.
Danskar har mer DNA från ursprungsbefolkningen i Ukraina än vad moderna Ukrainare har.
Lite humoristiskt kan man säga att vi från södra Sverige och Danmark är mer Ukrainare än vad Ukrainare är.
Inte märkligt att flyktingar från Ukraina känns som att möta en avlägsen släkting.
Eller att de integrerar sig i vår kultur med ljusets hastighet.
I kriget mot Ryssland kan vi med modern forskning i ryggen i sanning säga:
"Vi är alla Ukrainare"
Slava!

The country that has spent the last 16 months lecturing Europe about how to live sits at number 36 on the 2025 Prosperity Index. Just a mouse-arm’s inflammation above Russia. Sandwiched between Poland and Israel, two spots ahead of Hungary, and a comfortable distance behind Croatia.
Let that sink in while JD Vance is warming up his next speech about European decline.
Every single country from number one down to number twenty-five is either European, or a nation built on European foundations. Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden. The top four. Not a MAGA hat in sight. The United Kingdom, which according to certain Fox News contributors is an unrecognisable warzone where law-abiding citizens are fed to the wolves the moment they land at Heathrow, sits at a very comfortable number 26. Ten places above the self-proclaimed leader of the free world.
Slovenia beats America. Estonia beats America. Lithuania beats America. Latvia beats America. These are countries that were behind the Iron Curtain within living memory.
And yet here we are, being told by the people around Trump, Vance and Rubio that Europe has something to learn from Washington. About prosperity. About governance. About how to run a country.
Number 36.
Two above Russia. Seventeen below Slovenia. Just ahead of Israel and Hungary, which is basically the international hall of fame for countries that have lost the plot.
The data is not complicated. Europe is not declining. America is just falling down the list.
🇸🇪 Saab CEO Micael Johansson: The most important thing we can do right now is to ensure that Ukrainian industrial base becomes part of Europe and starts working with us.
We need them in Europe, not just in Ukraine. We are working very hard to create partnerships and joint ventures so that we can begin collaborating with Ukrainian industry in this way.
Defense industry must do the same. We have to get Ukrainians working with us, they know how to scale production extremely well.
Ukrainians produce 5 to 7 million drones a year. We produce thousands. We have so much to learn from them, and we must integrate them into Europe’s industrial base. That is the key.
I congratulate Sweden, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson @SwedishPM, and all Swedish people on their National Day.
The Ukrainian people will always remember the significant contribution Sweden has made to the defense of our country and of all Europe. We thank you for all your support, for every aid package, and especially for strengthening our combat aviation. We are working hard to ensure that Swedish Gripen aircraft reinforce Ukrainian skies as soon as possible.
It is precisely this unity and joint work with our partners that is needed to bring the end of Russia’s war closer. We wish Sweden peace and further development.
Poland Paid $50 Billion for America’s Friendship. Turns Out That Wasn’t the Deal.
Poland has spent fifty billion dollars on American weapons. F-35s, Abrams tanks, Patriots, HIMARS. The full catalogue, ordered with the desperate enthusiasm of a country that shares a border with Belarus.
Last week the Pentagon scrapped plans to deploy 4,200 troops to Poland. The brigade had already held a send-off ceremony, shipped its tanks, and sent advance personnel into Europe. Then came the call. Don’t bother.
Poland was blindsided. Their officials found out by ringing American congressmen. JD Vance turned up at the White House briefing today and told a Polish reporter he was overreacting. It was just a delay, he said. Europe needs to stand on its own two feet.
Poland spends nearly four percent of GDP on defence. It hosted American troops and paid fifteen thousand dollars per soldier per year for the privilege. It sent men to Iraq when Washington asked, even when France and Germany quietly suggested that everyone involved might regret it.
Rumsfeld once called Poland the most pro-American country on earth, including America itself. 
The reward for twenty years of that devotion is being told, by a man who has never heard a gunshot in anger, to look in the mirror.
