Budapestmorandy Signed in 1994 by Ukraine, Soviet, USA and the United Kingdom. This meant that Ukraine scrapped her nuclear weapons against promises from the other states: respect Ukraine's boundaries and sovereignty, refrain from threats or violence against Ukraine and refrain from economic impact to influence Ukraine's policy. Russia has violated the memorandum in both 2014 and 2022. Why no Trump's government reminds them that they are currently violating all three promises?

Donald Trump – a danger to public health.
Gunnar Hellman, Upplands Väsby
Trump is like an disobedient schoolboy who can't take it as someone else (teacher for example) says. And truth, he has no one about – what is it? It is just as bad with consequences that will be because of his actions. He should be allowed to sit in the shame until he can behave like an ordinary normal thinking homo sapiens.

IN a submitter If Defense Minister Pål Jonson (M) is asked to go to the White House and terminate the DCA agreement, which gives the United States access to 17 Swedish military bases. It seems to be an unnecessary journey. Sure, one can discuss the content of that agreement, but the big problem now is hardly that the US military will come to Sweden to defend our country. As it seems, the problem is rather that Trump may ensure that there is no support from the United States if Putin increases his threat to the Nordic and the Baltic States.

« Two against one is cowardly. » It was an expression I learned as a child in school. And that was exactly what I felt when I witnessed the historic meeting in the Oval Room last week when US President Donald Trump and his vice president JD Vance breasted up as two angry predators against Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyj in a rarely seen hoping on a worn creature who fought in battle for his flock for three years. I couldn't help but with color and brush illustrate the event in the above way.

Given US political patchwork over the past week, the DCA (Defense Cooperation Agreement) defense agreement with the United States should be paused. Throughout the period after the Second World War, the United States has been a guarantee of Europe's defense against Russia and characterized an entire post -war generation in Sweden, which has also seen the United States as a role model in many areas, not least in research, education, sports and popular culture. Now it seems that that picture is drastically cracking because President Trump likes Russia better than the EU and Ukraine and appointed President Putin as his best friend. Trump is a businessman and it is not entirely inconceivable that he, in order to get better negotiating mode when it comes to peace in Ukraine, also offers Putin 17 military bases in Sweden. Therefore, it would be wise if the DCA agreement was immediately paused until we know about our previous security guarantee, the United States, transversely or if it is just one of Trump's rough and unforeseen business fines.

I sign on the requirement that Sweden should terminate the DCA agreement, which gives the United States the right to use 17 Swedish military bases, where US law should apply.

Torgny Wiik Joins the growing crowd misinformed, which claims that we have a self -sufficiency of 50 percent. We don't have that. Our self -sufficiency is 0 percentand it's something very good and desirable. It is the possibility of free food trade that is the ultimate food security. North Korea is supposed to have 100 percent self -sufficiency. If it feels important and good then you can always move to North Korea. I propose that Dagens Nyheter ends up spreading the wrong statement that we would have a self -sufficiency of 50 percent, because I'm really relieved on that claim.

Social media is flooded with disinformation, conspiracy theories and angled news. Many of us sigh, scroll and hope that someone else will take the debate. But what would happen if all of us who value facts and balanced discussions made a small effort every day? With the help of artificial intelligence, we can quickly and easily review dubious statements, find credible sources and respond to disinformation with facts. What if everyone who cares about the truth took the habit of writing a single counter -argument a day? The effect would be huge. False news thrives in silence, but when confronted with facts they lose their attractiveness. Let's take back the public conversation. Let's show that factual debate and critical thinking still matter. Next time you see a questionable news – review, question and treat. Together we can create a better debate climate.

Another month after the national security adviser Henrik Landerholm was fired, no replacement was recruited! One explanation may be that Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson does not have so many friends …

The purpose of medicines is good. They are designed to relieve and possibly cure human bodily and mental plagues as well as diseases. In general, the subject is naturally reserved for specialists. But as a potential caregiver and layman, however, you can be thoughtful when you take part in the conclusion in A research studywhere it is found that antidepressant medicine can cause type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a long-term condition that causes ongoing problems and can also result in new health difficulties and consequential problems. The issue is particularly worrying because the prescription of this medicine (antidepressant) has increased greatly in our country. Thus, it looks like great caution should be observed for the persons who are in the choice between accepting such a prescription or not.

Until 1994, Sweden had a relative grading system in compulsory school, which meant that the grades were distributed based on how the students performed in relation to each other. A certain proportion of the students received the highest grades, a share of the second highest rating and so on, instead of as today is based on goal fulfillment. A relative grading system is unfair in that a worse student, who goes in a class where the level of knowledge is low, can get higher grades than a better student who goes in a class where the level of knowledge is high. However, there is reason to believe that such a system would be as a self -driving solution to the integration problems. If only a small percentage in each class receives the highest rating, there are no incentives for students to choose elite schools, but ambitious students who come from home with high education would probably spread out automatically to make sure to get good grades and then all classes and further schools would be more mixed.

The fashion industry is now developing Work clothes for Swedish princesses in the form of dresses that have been reinforced to carry the weight of many royal orders. In addition, one question in this context is whether the princesses pay their work clothes themselves, or if they are covered by the apanage from the tax collective. If Princess work clothes are pre -taxed or deductible may be unsaid in the tumultuous tax settlement?

Reply to Jonas Deutgen: There is a simple solution to the recruitment problem, which solves a lot of other problems, and it is called « The Officials Responsibility's reintroduction ».

Håkan Lennerstad (Noted on March 4) want Canadians and Argentinians to call themselves Americans. There are North, Central and South America, but no continent called only America. What about the knowledge of geography? If you go to Canada, Lennart, and call a Canadian for American, you will get a cheat. Even more today, of course.

Wednesday's « Week with Camilla and Leif GW » in SVT was about hate crimes, including LGBTQ people. The government says it wants to counteract hate crimes. At the same time, Swedish Democrat Björn Söder appoints chairman of the Swedish OSCE delegation, the organization for security and cooperation in Europe. The organization is active in areas such as human rights, tolerance, non-discrimination and minority rights. An assignment that cut and cut for Björn Söder, who accused Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and Parliament's Speaker Andreas Norlén to « legitimize pedophilia » when they supported their support for LGBTQ people in connection with the Pride Week (SVT 3/8 2023). Wouldn't a place behind the lock and boom a more natural place for Mr Söder? Incitement against people's group means that someone threatens or expresses disrespect for a people group or other such group of persons with a litigation on race, skin color, nationality or ethnic origin, creed, sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.

Answer Lars Hjelm (Noted on March 4): Young people who are often do not know that some people think that the word « you » who is intended as a courtesy gesture can be perceived as condescending. For younger generations, the word is not as stressful and has nothing to do with distancing. So far, it is probably for many who have negative associations with « you » to make it a broad impact. However, I believe that « you » can establish itself as a friendly address used in a service context and to foreign people.

Hope SVT quickly grabs « Against all odds » With Gunde Svan. The program was a success, so fast before any other channel crashes the idea! A couple of more training participants would make Gunde feel more meaningful. Then the « quota » for comedians is filled, because no one can surpass the last stretch.

The fact that TV6 completely lacks sports interest was clearly showed in Wednesday's live broadcast of the awards ceremony in Trondheim. Para river Zebastian Modin's gold medal And the second place of the Finns in the team sprint did not fit in the box due to the massive advertising cluster that must be broadcast at the same time. Sad! But of course it costs to have almost ten so -called experts who talk the broadcasts.

Opinions about DN
To DN sports editors: ice hockey and football are played in Sweden. Pick it up at the next Monday meeting.
Tommy Löfgren, Huddinge
At first, I thought it was some kind of April joke when DN announces that my subscription to the newspaper's Sunday edition will continue on Mondays instead of on Sundays. But not, so we will get Sunday newspaper on Monday! How bad is it? They need to save money I understand. Reading Sunday's DN has been a nice way to start the day with. This has been the case for many years. DN has expressed that one wants to be the whole of Sweden's newspaper. This apparently does not apply in Västerås.
