Donald Trump gives speeches in a chaotic congress and Republicans are cheering. They believe that the United States will be better through the great seducer's self -assertion. It goes furiously fast for the newly elected administration to decide on such drastic measures that people are shocked. We've seen it happen before. The German people's superstition on demagogenic Adolf Hitler would give Germany revenge, he became the country's dictator. Then it took a few weeks to dismantle the legal community and restrict freedoms. Recently, the cheer of the people had been heard over the Berlin Sports Stadium, it did so for another time. We know how it ended for Germany. Those who cheered at Berlin Stadium had to reveal the ruins of the city when the country collapsed in 1945. It was too late for citizens to regret their choice. How far does Trump and his incompetent entourage persist before the US breakdown as democracy is complete? The breeding residues may look different compared to 1945, but the reconstruction becomes costly for American citizens.

Europe, the United States and the world desperately need the earth metals found in Ukraine. Trump's extortion attempt with mafia methods to gain almost total control over them also shows the weakness of the United States. Now immediately offer Ukraine a fair agreement regarding the soil metals. Such an agreement should mean that only countries that from now on undertake to provide at least 0.5 percent (or preferably more) of their gross domestic product in support and assistance to Ukraine may participate in and exploit and develop the industry to be built up. They are also only the countries that will be able to take part in exports, that is, also the finished products in, for example, batteries. For example, if Hungary Delta, the Hungarians may not be referred to Chinese batteries for a very long future. In other words, Trump and his United States with a free Ukraine would be referred to being in the hands of China. With such an agreement, quickly in place, perhaps the US Congress would realize the seriousness and run over Trump.

The United States and (the reasonably democratic chose*) Donald Trump is now showing off his real face. Time then for us here at home to direct our interest in other directions than for a long time so the big country in the west. Why not try to find goods other than those coming from there? Although Systembolaget is not likely to be the largest supplier for the home, there are just good means to find other countries for our desired products. Search for « Systembolaget wine countries » and you will come to an educational website (or in the app), where you can find countries in Europe and elsewhere that you may not have thought of: Georgia and Lebanon and others, and of course also Eastern Europe, South Africa, Australia and South America. Let yourself be inspired and then move on to other goods.
* Really democratically elected refers to many Republican states where rules have been introduced that will make it more difficult for supposed democratic voters to succeed in reaching the polling station: fewer polling stations, forbidden to facilitate for those in line, etc.

Ukraine gets a lot of demands on it. But Russia, then? Shouldn't the requirements be placed on that country? Why didn't Zelenskyj had a delegation with him to the oval room? Make sure he gets the sharpest brains from the EU with him to Washington.

When Trump now abandons an ally and friendly nation for his own snow – Ukraine – my thought is unsuspected that this is a crime that can never be forgiven or forgotten. Judas Iskariot stated Jesus for 30 silver money and the name Judas has been associated with treason for 2,000 years, and true my words, Trump's name will also be associated with this epithet, as well as automatically associating Quisling's name with treason. Betraying a friend behind the back for his own gain is an uncross, unforgivable behavior. Slava Ukraini!

In his speech to the US Congress, Donald Trump said that Ukraine in a letter says he wants to sign the mineral agreement. This is what Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) believes is a good signal that there is a « functioning dialogue ». Is it dialogue when the United States with the break on military support forces Ukraine to join peace negotiations? If Europe does not resist Trump's mafia methods, the Kremlin can place more demands on concessions. Like the Ukrainians giving up more of their territory in addition to the already occupied, or that Europe raises the sanctions against Russia and stops the weapons shipments to Ukraine. Europe should require American pressure on Russia to show its willingness to samples by stopping attacks against civilian goals and releasing kidnapped Ukrainian children. Otherwise, there is less dialogue and more of a one -way communication from the Kremlin spokesperson in the White House to Ukraine.

Honor to the journalist and author Göran Greider, as propagates for disarmament When EU leaders are hit by the old Russian ghost and want to renovate billions and billions. What would such a renovation, which is directed at Russia, have for effect? Of course, an increased renovation on the part of Russia and so the spiral is running. Refair leads to destruction of life and the resources of the earth. The alternative is table call for disarmament and peace. No easy way to go but the only real one. Let us avoid the war industry and its profits filling their pockets while human life spills in the madness of war. The responsibility lies with our political leaders, but we can all raise our vote.

IN Today's DN We read about an as survey that shows differences in the Swedes' willingness to defense. Among right -wing voters and men there is a stronger willingness to defense than among left -wing voters and women. The reasons are several, but I do not mean a overlooked aspect and that is why left -wing voters have lower willingness to defense. The experience of the war of recent decades, from the Vietnam War to the ongoing in Ukraine, shows that they are largely fought by men and women with so -called manual work. Those who belong to the upper layers of the communities often succeed in avoiding, either through contacts, or as Trump, buy a medical certificate on health spur. It is also common for society to believe that those who hold higher education are considered valuable to be lost to war. Regardless of the reasons – in the end, those who end up in the clay rarely belong to those we usually associate with « bourgeois » ie the upper layer of society. We see this in Ukraine and even clearer in Russia. It is probably easier to be willing to defense if the historical experiences show that the risk of personally being forced to perform the bloody crafts of the war or even dead is small.

– Good day, Mr President.
I come from a people suffering.
All the horror of war we have known
But bears a hope for better times.
– Yes, you have lived for a while
with the realities of war.
In countries that go out in battle
Often great horror occurs.
– But remember, Mr. President,
that Russia completely unprovoked
have invaded, bombed, burnt,
Tortured, killed, massacred.
– You certainly carry a hatred,
But I want to be the one who mediates.
Listen up with all your gloomy talk
and long over your banknotes.
– I have come for that, that
And nothing else we want either.
But the ceasefire is respected,
How should we know that it applies?
– Bend you down for my power,
I have already set my condition.
First we write a mining contract
And we then take guarantees.
– sorry, Mr. President,
But this is where the shoes squeeze.
– shut up now, you are servant
And do what I decide for myself.

I react to the fact that media – for example Sweden's Television and Sweden's Radio – call the scene that was played out in the White House the other day between, on the one hand, US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance and on the other Volodyyr Zelymy for « quarrel ». It was not a quarrel, but an studied bullying from two interplayed bully against a lone person who, in vain in vain, tried to make his voice heard.
Birgitta Bolinder, Stockholm
We have a mesh plug for prime minister! When should we get someone who shows strength, who says away from world politics? That don't mumble? I am ashamed as a human being and Swedish how the policy we have, sounds like a mouse beep!

To our climate crisis -denying government: How much higher does the climate's alarm clock need to call?

Above all, there are two things that the Moderates have learned to live with in collaboration with the Sweden Democrats. One is to be naive. The second is to be pushed. It has so to the mild degree characterized the government party that it has also become a benchmark for the country's foreign policy. Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) persists in the fact that the mafia boss in the White House is a faithful allyeven though he has clearly chosen the dictator on the Kremlin's side in Russia's attack war against Ukraine. And Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) only dared to extend to him feeling a « Dimensions of discouragement » Over the schoolyard's nasty and lying attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj in the White House's press room. This is how it goes when you live in an unhealthy relationship for too long. Naive and incubated state leaders are the least we need right now.

No one can be surprised for what Trump does with the United States. So autocrats have always furnished about communities before his takeover (maybe not Trump personally, but well his heir). The same, the Swedish Democrats and Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer (M) are in Sweden (albeit much more carefully) on the pretext to fight crime. It is enough that opinion in Sweden takes a few more steps to the right, so an Autocrat will see that everything is in place for its own entrance.

Sometimes evolution goes fast. It seems that most of the Republicans in Congress have now mut-era to Evertebrate Trumpis, That is, invertebrate vomit.

Donald Trump does a bit like Sweden. Shit in the environmental goals and dismantles culture.

In a submitter is calling for Göte Gunnarsson More diesel locomotives on the western main line for use in train breaks. Recently, a SJ Inter City failed outside Mjölby on the way from Malmö to Stockholm due to vehicle problems. The train had 170 travelers. After a long wait, they were forced to climb down the embankment with the help of ordinary ladders and then up on a new train. On the government's initiative, just over five years ago, a number of auxiliary loblies were acquired, which are now placed, one of which is in Hallsberg. Now it is important that the diesel logo is used so that younger and older, with or without luggage, do not have to leave a train through acrobatic exercises.

« Frida Karlsson did not succeed at all on the classic part in 20 kilometers of skiathlon », writes SVT Sport. To get four out of 58 starts with injury benefits is to succeed amazingly well!

The postcode millionaire should end with the « Grannyran », which distributes large amounts to a group of winners in the lottery. Individual profits are enough for half a million SEK. Many of us who buy tickets do so for the money to go to charitable purposes. Instead, donate SEK 100 million to the Swedish defense and/or to Ukraine, where the money is needed!

Why does “after five” choose in TV4 that Interview just Maja Ivarsson Just a few days before the final in the Melodifestivalen? Program manager Anna Brolin wished good luck and hoped she would win. Strange. Everyone should stand on « zero » when the final begins? Now Maja Ivarsson is likely to bring some « extra » votes. She made a nice impression.
