The third post in this world-leading series of crashed Nostradamus guesses discusses Europe and the EU – it is highly on-topic since we now have a choice to make in Europe, but if it happens to slip into something sour in between, I promise improvement, it is hard not to touch on our problems as well.
The Roman Empire, you all think, was simply so superior that it decided everything – no, they got soundly beaten all the time but two things they did right: in all conquered areas, they offered those who lived there citizenship in exchange for becoming legionaries, and then they shamelessly stole everything that worked from their opponents. If they got beaten by a weapon or a technique in a battle once, they had built it themselves next time, nicely polished. They got very far by being tenacious, forward-leaning, and just seeing a massacre of their own troops as tuition fees.
In 1939, we let the Poles fend for themselves only to be badly beaten in 1940 when Germany made a deal with the Soviet Union and moved its divisions to the Western Front instead. Sweden saved itself by playing along with Germany enough to receive a large post-1945 compensation that our government creatively sold as voluntary reconstruction aid to Europe since we were a humanitarian (previously German-supporting) great power.
Germany would never have gotten as far as they did at all, but they pressed on and took one country at a time with devastating results – the level of risk was enormous but they had an edge with their blitzkrieg and the fact that they had already decided to devastate the world while the rest of Europe hoped that appeasement and not provoking would make the Germans champions of peace instead. Low-reactive responses have never worked and will never work against those who have a strong will to cause harm.
During the war itself, we only accepted the Jews that creative officials managed to get into the country, and post-war we sent back all Baltic refugees to the Soviet Union so they could be murdered in the Gulag – all to make the world a better, brighter place.
This was just Sweden – out in Europe, entire countries had fully supported Germany, which ran its hundreds of extermination camps nonstop for several years. An entire industry whose sole purpose was to murder people.
The countries that were overrun had for nearly five years been occupied by a Gestapo and SS that tortured all those suspected of disliking the occupation with all sorts of creative methods – some Gestapo chief in France had as a favorite to skin prisoners alive and then put them back in the cell.
All those who lived in the sun as Nazi collaborators had it considerably worse in 1945 but Europe survived this baptism of fire only to immediately step into a completely fabricated Cold War so we would crouch under the USA-Soviet rivalry as long as possible, but that plan broke in 1989 after a mistake by some high-ranking officer in East Germany.
Europe lost over three million men during a few hectic summer months in 1940 even though we had more and better planes/tanks than Germany combined with significantly more soldiers. We were simply outclassed in a fair war.
The political will and unwillingness to adopt new warfare decided it – anyone recognize this now in 2026 when Europe has had over four years of a high-intensity war between qualified opponents in our immediate geographic vicinity?
Russia is trying the same thing – just grinding away with soldiers from all corners of the world and increasing the level of violence when they don’t achieve the desired result with the current level of violence.
Their huge problem is that they attacked Ukraine first, which is just as stubborn but also does like the Romans – steals all ideas and improves them lightning fast.
Ukraine, through an enormous sacrifice few countries are capable of now, has bought us time to get organized this round but we are really lousy even at that – now in 2026 we still cannot defend against the drone weapon, and we don’t have any drone weapon of our own yet.
A handful of operators on our armored reconnaissance have apparently received some training during Aurora and that now makes the rounds on Twitter as a major capability increase while the Russians ramp up their drone weapon to 180,000 strong, with the practical work experience we lack.
Since over 80% of the losses come from the drone weapon, I think the analogy with blitzkrieg is not at all off.
To move forward in the discussion below, I make the assumption here that we will manage to resolve the Baltic crisis and that Ukraine will come out victorious this year 2026 – it is more likely than us managing to sabotage it completely again actually since we have Ukraine on our side.
Europe and the EU then have four paths to choose from –
1. Declare a state of emergency and become infinitely more authoritarian as the UK has just tried, then bribe all politicians to arm us to the teeth far beyond what is smart but never miss a good crisis. At least we avoid a new Cold War with a divided, fearful, and weak Europe by becoming a semi-dictatorship ourselves to fight a dictatorship. There is nothing more permanent than a temporary law passed by Congress, as Reagan said, so once this is in place it will be too difficult to remove within a reasonable time.
Dictatorships also have a unique ability to cater to criminals and enter some kind of unholy alliance with them against the broad group of law-abiding citizens – we are not there yet but when the criminals’ bribes are so large that one can retire on them and one understands that one can use their violent capital to improve one’s own situation, then it becomes a marriage immediately because it is too attractive.
2. Feel that this deal to divide the world between the strong was not so bad – we got Africa from the other dictatorships so now we go on and devastate that continent, again…
The worst of all ideas but even during the Cold War we behaved abominably towards Africa.
3. Collapse under the subversive activities from the USA, China, and Russia where the nail in the coffin will be the upcoming financial crisis – welcome a new Cold War with a divided, weak, and fearful Europe. DDR Sweden makes an entrance again and we only get Televinken or Clown Manne on TV, a decent liver steak once a month max for the parents and it is almost a bit religiously solemn around the dinner table because it comes with garlic butter.
4. Project strength where Russia either refrains from the Baltics or we retake the countries with violent force that totally stuns Putin as he frantically takes Omeprazole in his bunker. Beyond that, Ukraine gets everything they point to so Russia collapses in its revolution 2.0. A mined border and total visa ban later, calm settles over Europe.
Belarus retakes its land and Kaliningrad negotiates a demilitarized status we monitor in exchange for some perks into the EU.
Then we proclaim “Made in Europe” for real and cut the umbilical cord to China, stop heavily taxing the citizens, the workforce is within Europe, and finally we turn to Africa with fair and honest trade agreements where we buy their raw materials at various stages while the countries that want to move towards us get trade agreements and access to our markets for reasonably priced products – with an emphasis on fair, which has not been Europe’s hallmark so far throughout world history.
By the way – the Dos Santos family that ruled Angola from sometime in the 1980s until a few years ago actually became somewhat of a name already in the 1500s when they started the business of raiding villages and selling the captives to the Portuguese, they stayed at the top for a very long time.
We can also contribute “know-how” for improvements where needed but without the big finger-wagging, and without pouring out free money that only ends up in the pockets of the elite. A very good way, unfortunately, to distribute money taken from the poor in Europe and give it to those already rich in various countries. I have seen this myself over 12 years in Angola and will not back down on that point.
In Luanda, Sweden built a large apartment complex and then an entire “Sweden village” which was emptied when all the Swedish aid workers left the country – the housing was fairly distributed to the elite and their children.
The hospital we built for childbirth with Sweden-trained doctors + unlimited supplies instead became many new private clinics where the doctors took care of births for the elite’s pregnant women with Swedish-delivered materials. The hospital became a death trap that no one dared to go to because all the competent doctors had left and there were no supplies left.
At the time, I talked a lot with a seasoned Swedish woman who did the audits for Sida – an old-school tough woman who usually became talkative after a few glasses of wine. She often said that Sida never wanted to listen to her criticism, they didn’t care.
Besides that, we tie fair countries to us – Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Iceland, and Japan appear as obvious alternatives.
You have probably also seen that Azerbaijan now sells LNG to ten countries in Europe and that the EU, with Macron at the forefront, has flashed its widest smiles in Armenia.
That group of countries is also moving towards us and LNG from Azerbaijan was an absolute stroke of genius – hats off and I wonder if Zelensky’s earlier trips to the area helped?
We will first go through a global conflict and then we will probably have 60-70 years of prosperity when the world gets tired of fighting.
For a long time, Ukraine could have put out this grass fire but I think it’s too late – the ball is rolling.
What we can do, however, is to ensure that the war does not come geographically to us for the first time ever.
Everyone reading this post points directly to point 4 and says “yes please” but do not underestimate the willingness of incompetent and sometimes corrupt politicians to do wrong – we will probably have to fight very hard for this, unfortunately.
Personally, I will work to ensure that Europe and Sweden understand what an incredible opportunity Angola is – that will be my life mission post-global conflict. That country deserves all good things but they are still a bit chaotic and corrupt so many small steps in the right direction are needed.
At some point, there will be a series of posts about the enormous opportunities in Angola for those who are enterprising, we have had a social commitment there since 2006 and some operations in the country still, which admittedly are running on low gear since we are not there but have given a lot of work to local talents. It is very difficult, of course, but the upside is enormous for those who can read the room.
I hope to be on my way back there within 1-3 years, but not before the 2027 election.
Now, a global crisis is not good at all but if the war is fought in Asia this round between the USA and China, it is the least bad for Europe.
Something we have not seen yet but that might come is that China realizes that the best thing they can do is to join the deal Russia-USA have and divide the world between themselves. I would rather see a global conflict than this because over time it becomes much worse with three unleashed unstoppable dictatorships that have agreed, but we are not there yet and I do not want to believe that the USA is so cunning before I see it. A bit like with nuclear weapons – if it happens, it happens.
Choosing between the plague or cholera, I guess – I might be wrong, I don’t know.
Or we get both – first a global conflict until USA-China get tired because no one can make the decisive move and the second best is a cold war, they think?
Europe can only marginally influence this as the USA and China do as they please.
Europe, with Sweden at the forefront, has long seen it as its task to be the world’s soft police at the expense of Europe.
Since China, the USA, and Russia all do what is best for them, the consequences have been far-reaching. So far-reaching that for a very long time we did not dare do the obvious and fully support Ukraine, which is very bad, we have negotiated away our integrity.
Everyone else also tries to split us, preferably into civil war if possible.
We have the acute phase to solve right now to then find our role in the world.
The EU and Europe today are a union, we do not need to become a federal superpower but should continue as now where countries that agree join together and those who do not agree stand on the sidelines on various issues.
Free movement and trade are perfect – but it should stop there, it is never fair to go to a neighboring country in the EU and want a lot of free stuff from them for money their citizens have worked for which should benefit them.
Going somewhere and working your way into the country so you get the same status as the citizens – good good good.
We will need a stronger border defense, and we will need some kind of mobile task forces both for perimeter protection and international missions.
Imagine, for example, if the countries that like us in Africa are attacked by Russia, China, or the USA?
Then it would be good to be able to project strength and assist our new friends.
This is not the same as a federal defense force that is eventually used against other countries in the EU when they do not want to submit to the mandates.
Southern Europe is responsible for perimeter protection against the Mediterranean and Eastern/Northern Europe for the eastern front – those in the middle and far west must loyally contribute with resources.
All countries will have different views on religion, migration, child-rearing, sexual orientations, and other issues.
Instead of smoothing this out across the entire EU, I am of the opinion that since free movement prevails, one can move around.
For example, Ireland is quite conservatively Catholic and if you want to be a very active Protestant in Northern Ireland, you can always move over to us in Sweden instead where we are mostly Protestants.
If you like the sun, you move to Spain.
No one likes France, so they can keep their country.
I was going to bring up the Jews, but haven’t they started leaving all of Europe?
Let countries democratically vote for the policies they want; those who don’t like them can move around within the free movement of the EU?
The EU should therefore not have more directives but be a unifying umbrella where the union’s inhabitants can move around and work.
Globally, we should be restrictive about flexing our muscles – those who choose to belong to us should, however, get help if another power tries to overthrow them, the weakest links in the chain. I think that is both fair and decent.
We ensure to have our own mining operations and build up the electricity production and industry we need – our internal market is enormous and if we bring Africa along, even bigger.
Then over time, we gradually shift to more renewable and environmentally friendly sources, but we cannot start there because that gave China all our production.
So we must start building up Europe from the ground up, and we do not do that through “Net Zero 30,” which quite a few countries are now abandoning, but we also do not do it through demands for reduced emissions that China does not have when they sell to us.
What we have done so far is to give away our industry to China, and now we stand here with disruptions in imports – we are vulnerable and sensitive.
The fact is that since we have cleaner electricity production than both the USA and China, we should immediately demand that all products that do not meet our standards are not allowed to be sold in Europe so that we can get our own manufacturing going.
The tax system also needs to be reviewed, but that is perhaps another discussion – not being able to tackle waste, corruption, and mismanagement while at the same time demanding higher taxes is not fair.
If we take our (fair) responsibility for Africa, we have done what can be expected of us.
Yes, we must have control over the borders and get migration in order BUT if we have fair trade agreements with countries in Africa, we will go there – then it is only fair that the citizens of those countries get to come to us and work, right?
Then they get work experience they cannot acquire in their home country and in the long run contribute to lifting their own country.
I believe something like this would tremendously boost the EU, and the countries that want to get closer to us in Africa will also take big steps forward.
We still have many obstacles left on the obstacle course, but if this is a sensible goal and we start laying the building blocks for it, hopefully the EU in 15-20 years will be something to truly be proud of.
Canada and Azerbaijan are a bit of a lottery win, but countries like Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, and a few more, we should also extend a hand to.
Africa is also trying to create an African union modeled after the European one, but so far Russia and China have done everything to destroy it – it would be very good if it got started.

Good thumbs up 👍
Good morning!
Thanks for the interesting analysis Johan, you have covered all the variants of the future so as usual you will be right. 👍
Nice reports MXT and 205.
I’m putting a barrel of weak beer and a trip with the walker to the liquor store on Ukraine not sabotaging the parade. Instead, there will be bang-bang in unattended places in Russia.
And a nice 👍 Lasse.
Thank you for the unreserved tribute 🙏🙏🙏
Yes, they probably won’t drone-bomb the parade.
They want to ridicule Putin without the country’s citizens getting angry and wanting more war.
All of Russia is open right now.
Thank you Johan and 205.👍👍👍
Speaking of Johan no 1. How is it possible to have almost written an entire book in 4 days. Impressive. The borders in Africa were drawn with pen and ruler which has caused many conflicts and wars. Someone once told me that where the English have been, there is a high risk of conflicts arising afterwards. Africa, India/Pakistan, India/China. The list can be made longer. The same person told me that the English were the worst colonizers in Europe while the Portuguese were the least bad. Since Johan has spent a longer time in Angola, maybe he can elaborate on that statement.
Thanks and glad it’s being read.
Yes, the Portuguese mixed with the locals in a way others never did (you understand) and became part of the country.
Portuguese people are really annoying as a group, but they built up Luanda better than Lisbon.
Angola unfortunately became a proxy war between the USA and the Soviet Union, but they got educated and are very sensible as a country minus the corruption, but that is slowly disappearing little by little.
Yes, I agree 👍
The French in Congo were probably the worst followed by the British?
The Spaniards are real arch-racists, I see that here in the Caribbean.
Yes, the British on the largest scale so worst sorry 👍
Thank you. I understand you mean the Belgians in Congo.
Thank you for another interesting yellow wall.
The colonial era is probably a dark time in Europe’s history. The European countries’ self-righteousness and racism knew no bounds; we believed we were the greatest, best, and most beautiful and had the right to seize other countries’ resources and draw borders with a ruler without consideration.
It took two world wars and lost colonies for us to become humble and realize that we are not superior beings.
Certain advantages were given to some of the colonies, such as expanded infrastructure (to export natural resources), and in some cases education, as they needed some knowledge to serve the authorities.
Some were more brutal than others; the Belgians in Congo were probably the worst. The English and the French have probably caused the most disorder because they divided the Middle East among themselves without regard for the people living there. We still suffer from that, and there is no light in sight.
Another reason for subsequent problems was that when the colonial powers left, a power vacuum was created, which was filled by whoever had the most weapons. There was no tradition of exercising power in the countries because the colonial power had not shared its power with the inhabitants.
What is now a large and growing obstacle to development in the African countries is the Islamists. Fortunately, Russian influence is decreasing, but the chaos they leave behind is exploited by the Islamist barbarians.
Islamists are a fairly new phenomenon, and who is probably a contributing cause to their emergence? The Western world, especially the USA when they rampaged around in Iraq, and when they armed militias in Afghanistan, but of course, it is more complicated than that. Israel also has a part in it through settlement policies and occupation, and so does their arch-enemy Iran, which is also a sponsor of some of the Islamist groups.
Agreed on the challenges with line 4, the obvious alternative. One issue, as mentioned, is how to get Europe to move in the same direction on security and foreign policy matters while leaving control over domestic politics to a greater extent than today to the member countries themselves? And what aspects of foreign and security policy can also remain national?
Can you be voted for the EU Parliament 205?

** Russian oil refinery, defense technology center struck in Ukraine’s overnight attacks
Ukrainian forces reportedly launched an attack on critical Russian military-industrial sites overnight on May 8, striking an oil refinery as well as the branch of a defense technology center, Russian Telegram media channels reported.
Photos and videos posted by local residents to social media purport to show a fire emanating from the Slavneft-YANOS oil refinery in the city of Yaroslavl amid the attack. **

Good if they build up before they leave, right?
Yes, the USA is aware of this, those bastards
Rumor has it that it is the Chinese who are supplying the equipment, so it will probably disappear eastward if that is true.
Now, how was it again, the USA was supposed to become world leaders in the processing of rare earth metals..? If they had helped Ukraine crush the barbarians, it could have been the USA and not China building the mines now. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Completely agree with LYNX
Then that’s probably where some end up. Otherwise, they have quite a lot of rare earth metals while Trump is very interested, so I thought he might have gotten first dibs on it in exchange for reducing support for Ukraine and helping to try to push through a peace agreement favorable to Russia.
Wasn’t it the case that when the USA’s half-Russians were involved with the so-called “peace negotiations,” there was a deal concerning raw materials on the table between the USA and Russia?
It probably concerned raw materials from occupied areas, which Putin tempted Trump with to get him on his side.
As I said, EVERYTHING becomes logical if you believe in the Krasnov story. I am completely convinced.

Question to the audience regarding translation
Posts surrounded by ** are posts that I have posted on the English version of the site and which have then been automatically translated into Swedish. The translation is not always perfect but still works quite well.
The question is whether you prefer that method so you can read it in Swedish or if I should ignore it and post as usual so it will be the English original? (You can always switch to the English version of the site if you want to see the English original).
I think Old Norse would be an option! 😳

Will check if AI can handle runic script!

Det här har det redan rapporterats om, men kör det ändå en vända till.
** ❗️The United States has published a draft of changes to the Department of Justice (DOJ) rules that remove Ukraine from the list of countries subject to arms import restrictions. According to Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United States, Olga Stefanishyna, this will unblock the permanent import of Ukrainian weapons, ammunition, and components into the US, remove barriers for Ukrainian defense-tech companies entering the American market, and align the State Department’s policy with the Department of Justice’s procedures. **

Who was it now that had played all their cards?
The USA needs Ukraine more than the other way around.
🤣🤣🤣
Maybe the USA is thinking of placing some larger orders to tie up Ukrainian production before the European countries get a chance.
Johan, impressive post. And nice that you are back at work so you have time to write your long epistles.
Maybe you should become politically active for real? EU president type would be something to strive for. Start by getting rid of the idiotic move between Brussels and Strasbourg every month, then make sure the EU stops arguing about our bottleneck fees so that we can get cheap electricity throughout Sweden.
You can also pursue your commitment to Angola in that role……
I would definitely vote for you.
Have a nice weekend!
If you Swish 10,000 SEK to me and fight corruption and bribery, then I can vote for you too, Johan.
Just need to check with the Economic Crime Authority that you are allowed to sell your vote 👍
When they have approved you, I can accept it, important to follow the law.

Yes, for heaven’s sake vote for me for change 🤩🤩
Glad you liked the post 👍

Today’s short text is quite important because it determines the living conditions of future generations.
It turned out to be a full week and I think the next one will be a couple as well, lots to write about.
My campaign for paid subscription on Substack gave exactly zero but I hope that MXT gets their Swish 👍
We are starting to get going – the critical mass feels like it has been passed, there is always more to read when you enter.
This is very fun and today is also Friday drinking. I’m doing an alcohol-free year so it will be a Friday snus for me.
Do not tell the last thing to the old man for then he will reject me and make me disinherited

Some thoughts here. It is difficult to say what will happen tomorrow regarding Memorial Day. Perhaps not much will happen. Red Square and the Kremlin are not really military targets. Should they then be attacked on a large scale and at a time when Moscow’s air defense is maximally activated? Could that in turn affect Ukraine’s goodwill in the world? Well, it might be enough for UA to send enough drones to activate the air raid alarm in central Moscow. That would likely clear Red Square of any people and achieve the media objectives that are likely to be met. Because those are the ones that count.
That’s probably exactly what Ukraine is thinking 👍
Hack the TV?
Fly some drones.
Take the chance to take out some air defense?
Then scream-fight targets out in Russia?
Europe and the USA are at least trying to persuade UA not to bomb the parade probably, USA bribed with JDAMS.
Goal – to ridicule Putin.
When you achieve that, it’s more worth it than bleeding screaming Russian bastards.
A stylish drone flyover with yellow and blue smoke
Yes damn and some slick maneuvers on top of that! Would go down in world history.

Saturday, May 9, I don’t think we will be disappointed at all.
Everything is downside for Putin.
The summer is going to be COMPLETELY CRAZY.
When Putin demands a ceasefire to save the children – THEN you will see the real face of the EU.
Thanks to Ukraine, we have an absolutely unique chance to solve the Russian problem.
So pray to the idols you normally worship that Europe has enough sense to keep quiet.
China has also asked Ukraine not to bomb the parade.
🍿🍿🍿🍺🍻
I have even gone all out and bought a big bag of OLW Sourcream onion for the occasion. Will also have to make a trip to the liquor store and restock.
That’s how you do it Pehr – chips and drinks to get through the day, five thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
The day Putin catches fire I will probably break my year of sobriety and get totally drunk.
Let’s do it.
👍👌
The Russian bastards have run away – they don’t quite realize it yet and will try with more of everything but in the end, they will be standing there.
Yes, they might use tactical nuclear weapons, NEVER underestimate a stressed dictator fighting for his life.
Of course, it won’t change anything at all, but it’s the worst thing that can happen.
Most likely, UA will also manage to shoot down the carrier, destroy it during transport, or cut the missile itself during its approach – triple humiliation for Putin.
Exactly like that 🎯
I believe many people know, I even think Putin suspects where this is heading, but no one has dared to say it outright.
I think Putin is sitting in the bunker playing Russian roulette with the blank gun and calculating probabilities. The real gun is loaded with a silver bullet in the desk drawer to be brought out when the Russians are swimming in the Sea of Azov.
A person is being detained at the Stockholm District Court suspected of serious sanctions violations, writes the Prosecutor’s Office in a press release. Helped the Russian bastards to buy things they should not.

For kindness, I advocate stepping up!
I like how you think.
MXT – I know you were stunned by my divine posts as usual, but for tomorrow you’ll have to do some kind of “stay-up-late evening.”
I’ll be quite late because of the time difference, and there’s a whole country that will be sitting with a hand in the chip bag and a beer in hand.
Maybe back Monday, definitely Tuesday.
Have a lot to do, trying to manage to post some entries anyway but of course also speechless with admiration that you manage to put together good, well-written posts several days in a row. I also think you have raised the level a notch (maybe because you have kept them thematically coherent and not tried to pull 10-20 different threads per post). 👍👍👍
You haven’t started cheating with AI, have you? 🤔😂

Trump has indeed declared a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine…
“Russia and Ukraine declare a ceasefire from May 9 to 11, writes Donald Trump on Truth Social. ‘This request came directly from me, and I greatly appreciate that Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky agreed to it,’ he continues. The ceasefire is held to celebrate Victory Day in Russia, but also in Ukraine ‘which was also a major part of World War II,’ Trump writes. During the ceasefire, all attacks will cease, and a prisoner exchange with 1,000 prisoners from each side will take place, according to the president. Kyiv and Moscow have not commented on Trump’s post. During previous temporary ceasefires between Russia and Ukraine, the countries have accused each other of extensive violations.”

Oh, he wants to take credit for something that Putin unilaterally wants Ukraine to do, but which will not happen. Why then? Did he think of blaming Ukraine for breaking the ceasefire they did not agree to?
Well, that is probably what is intended.
I was not the first with this Krasnov news.
We will see how it develops.
No worries, you are on the podium and taking a silver. (Johan has completely stopped posting current news since the times he tried, he was usually fifth).

I just got a slight heart attackk 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😳

Krasnov at work.

“This request came directly from me, and I greatly appreciate that Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky agreed to it,” he continues.

During the ceasefire, all attacks will cease, and a prisoner exchange with 1,000 prisoners from each side will take place, according to the president.
President Zelensky confirms the ceasefire in a post on Telegram.
“I thank the US president and his team for their effective diplomatic involvement. We expect the US to ensure that the Russian side upholds the agreement,” he writes.
Moscow has not commented on Trump’s post.

Nato is falling apart. That is what the defense alliance’s former Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says in an interview with the German newspaper Welt.
– President Trump has raised so many doubts about his stance on Article 5 and the defense of Europe that Europeans can only draw one conclusion: We must stand on our own feet and be able to defend the continent ourselves.
Europe needs a new defense coalition – neither the EU nor Nato can currently fill that role, according to Fogh Rasmussen, who led Nato between 2009 and 2014.
It should consist of countries that meet the five percent target, and individual states should not be able to veto military operations, he adds.

He is not wrong – Krasnov is pushing on for Russia 👍
Sour is just the first name, I had also prepared victory snus 😡😡😡😡😡
Calm down, no site has even bothered to comment and Zelenskyy has been cocky lately so I hope it’s just a typical Trump statement.
Agree. For comfort eating my chips 😡
However, Putin stands naked without clothes for the whole world to see.
“The general dissatisfaction is rising among the Russian people, and the Victory Day celebration on Saturday is expected to be unusually meager. For the first time in 20 years, neither military vehicles nor missile systems will participate in the military parade.
After negotiations with the USA, the Kremlin and Kyiv have today agreed to a three-day ceasefire, and Zelensky has promised that the military will not attack Red Square in Moscow during the parade.
Victory Day is the main manifestation of Putin’s power, says Russia analyst Stefan Ingvarsson to DN.
– And now he stands there with his pants down, because he cannot cancel the parade and also cannot carry it out as usual without Trump asking Zelensky to hold back his drones.”

Can you trust the UFO release?
Is the USA official right?
USA is now UFO.
Undemocratic Fucked-uped Obsolete.
(It always annoys someone).
😁
You seem to be right MXT 😳
I don’t know if this is correct but I’m happy again

😂😂😂👌
Nice by the way to receive such recognition, though it has taken so long.. Uncertain what it depends on…
Like a lottery win 😳
Ukraine has therefore allowed Russia to celebrate, (a big deal for them) but at the same time they warn that they must not go overboard and must stay in the sandbox and not wander off because then it cannot be guaranteed that something stupid won’t happen.
So damn good! 🤣🤣🤣
Now all that remains is to see where Ukraine plans to attack. 😂

Trump is therefore trying to save face for Putin so he can hold his parade in May, but the result is that Putin appears weaker than ever when he is forced to take help from the arch-enemy USA to avoid attacks from Ukraine.
Who holds the cards? 😂

But where are the environmental movements?
“An oil leak is spreading off the coast of Kharg Island, reports the New York Times, referring to satellite images. It is unclear what caused the leak. The leak appears to be at least 52 square kilometers in size, spreading towards Saudi Arabian waters. According to Orbital EOS, which maps oil leaks, over 3,000 barrels of oil may have leaked into the water. Kharg Island is very important for Iran’s oil trade. About 90 percent of the oil exported from Iran is loaded onto Kharg before leaving the Persian Gulf. According to experts, the Iranian economy would likely collapse without the island.”

Doom and gloom.
“Judging by their faces, Moscow is not in a festive mood.
Lavrov is threatening to “respond mercilessly to the Nazis if they attempt to carry out their threats and disrupt Victory Day celebrations.”
But he sounds oddly gloomy and doomed.
The holiday is getting closer…”

Those of you who think you have had a lousy day..
“The sailor Basis was in the engine room on the oil tanker where he worked, when the ship was suddenly attacked on the morning of March 1st. – For one or two seconds I was unconscious. Everything went black. The power went out. I looked up – fire and black smoke poured down. I thought, I am alive, I have to get out of here, he says in an interview with The Guardian. The ship, MKD Vyom, was one of the first to be subjected to a deadly attack in the war between the USA and Israel and Iran. Basis’s friend and colleague, 32-year-old Dixit Solanki, was killed in the attack. The crew found his body in the engine room, after trying to extinguish the fire for four hours with only fire extinguishers, sand, and buckets of seawater. They were forced to leave his body on board when it became too dangerous to stay. The ship was carrying a cargo of 60,000 tons of gasoline. – Leaving the ship, leaving a colleague stuck in the engine room, was unbearable, says Basis, whose real name is something else.”

UA struck RU facility producing, storing guided aerial bombs and missiles. Plant deep inside Russia. Huge quantities of explosives detonated, blast wave devastating everything for kilometers around, shattered windows nearby towns. Russia lost production capacity, stockpile.

Do you work shifts?
Well, been in Switzerland for the day, and my mobile operator Telenot couldn’t find anyone to roam with so it became a deep online breath. Couldn’t even get on several wifi networks because SMS didn’t work. Yes, they came when I left Switzerland. One of the things that highlights the value of a common market to reconnect with the theme.
Starmer has resigned?
Someone in the thread usually says that he fought for his survival – who?
Switzerland? Beautiful country. I have seen it on postcards. Since Switzerland lacks significant ports, I have never visited the country, unfortunately. But I have tasted their delicious cheeses. Question: Where do the holes in Swiss cheese come from?
The same Italian workers who drill holes in the macaroni. They work evenings drilling holes in the Swiss cheeses.
🤣😂👍
So you haven’t sailed up the Rhine River and loaded in the port of Basel?
https://x.com/gatewaybasel/status/1772627309750636659
Good answer, Maggan! I have been trying to find out the answer for many years but failed. So the holes come from Switzerland just like the cheese. Thank you.
