There has been a large explosion at a Russian military training facility not far from the border with Estonia. There is still no information on what could have caused it. Smoking maybe? Read more here.

Internet is increasingly being shut down in Russia, most recently Moscow has been affected. Russian propaganda of course tries to normalize it, who needs the internet? Now Alexander Dugin has come out suggesting that the entire internet in Russia should be shut down by summer. He argues that the Internet in Russia should be adapted to the “seasonal cycles of bears and butterflies”…??? Read more here

Kyiv Independent reports that a U.S. general assisting Ukraine with security issues is said to have left a folder of classified maps on a train after suffering from an “alcohol-related concussion” (whatever that is). It’s not just the Russians struggling with alcohol.

    Have the rice farmers learned not to shoot down drones over the target? No wreckage causing damage this time, fantastic! The usual thing is that rice farmers have extremely bad luck with wreckage.

      I think it’s related to the Internet being down in Moscow and that social media, apart from the official app, has been shut down. The population can no longer post pictures and videos that contradict the official statements without the FSB coming and knocking on the door (if they can even post anything at all without the internet).

      Now they can therefore lie completely unrestrainedly and pretend that the air defense has performed excellently and that all the drones have been shot down without causing any damage at all.

        Of course, the wreckage of lies still admits some damage and explains why the internet is filled with images of fire and smoke.

        Without the internet, the perfect lie would be no damage at all. But even better would be the lie that no drones were shot at Moscow at all when we shot them down over Ukraine, or that the war is going so well that Ukraine can’t send any drones at all.

    “Donald Trump says he is surprised that Iran has responded to American and Israeli attacks by targeting countries such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait.

    – No one expected it. We were shocked, the president says according to Reuters.

    At the same time, several sources report that Trump has been warned that an attack on Iran could trigger a series of attacks against US allies in the region. The president has also been warned about the risk of a regional war, the news agency writes.

    During the night and morning, Iranian attacks have been directed towards, among others, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq.”

    Trump has succeeded where the Green Party failed, yet I haven’t heard any Green Party member thanking him! 😂

    “The price of diesel has reached its highest level since the reduction obligation was adjusted down in January 2024, writes the agricultural business newspaper ATL.

    The fuel chains OKQ8 and Preem raised the price by 30 öre on Monday, setting the diesel price for corporate customers at 22.14 SEK per liter.

    According to the newspaper, a liter of diesel has not cost over 22 SEK since December 2023. The fuel chains have raised prices due to the oil price surge brought on by the Iran war.”

      Before the war started, the price was around 13 SEK/liter. The oil has increased by about 60%, which should result in a price of around 21 SEK/l. At the same time, many have probably filled their tanks now out of fear of even higher prices, so demand could dip a little in the near future.

       

      Edit: the dollar has increased by about 3%, which makes the price seem “reasonable”

    Iran has attacked several countries during the night. The United Arab Emirates’ air defense has been activated this morning to defend the country against both missiles and drones from Iran, reports The Guardian.

    At least two energy facilities are said to have been hit by this morning’s attacks, but no one was injured, according to Reuters.

    Both drones and missiles have also been used in an attack targeting the American embassy in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Tuesday. One of AFP’s reporters on the ground in the country sees black smoke rising into the sky from the embassy area.

    Several explosions have also shaken Qatar’s capital Doha tonight.

    Since the war broke out, the Gulf states have been hit by over 2,000 missile and drone attacks. The main targets are American targets, such as embassies or military bases.

    The Trump administration has told Cuba that the country’s president Miguel Díaz-Canel must resign for the countries to make any progress in their negotiations. This is reported by four informed sources to the New York Times.

    One of the sources suggests that the demand is not an ultimatum, but has been proposed as a positive step that could lead to productive agreements. At the same time, the person says that the US is making it appear that no agreement can be reached between the countries while Díaz-Canel remains in power.

    Lately, Trump has often talked about achieving a regime change in Cuba. It is unclear if he intends to use military force.

    “I actually think I will have the honor of taking Cuba. I think I can do whatever I want with it,” Trump said during Monday evening Swedish time.

      Yes, things are happening in Cuba. Or that things are starting to happen there. Cuba has in any case opened up for talks with the USA. A poor and worn-out Cuba, pressured by a lack of oil after the events in Nicaragua. Plus a power outage that affected the entire country a few days ago. The one-party state Cuba has probably had its time.

      And Trump managed to stick his head out of a door opening yesterday and express himself in a careless, triumphant way that only he can. If it is true. He could well let Rubio handle the contacts with Cuba.

      The current president with Canel as the last part of his surname apparently has no power at all but only has a formal position. The power apparently lies with Raul Castro and his close relatives. To be continued. The Washington Post had an article now about the situation in Cuba but I have difficulty linking from my mobile phone.

    Since Donald Trump began his second term, the level of democracy in the USA has fallen to the same levels as in 1965. This is shown in V-Dem’s annual democracy report according to TT.

    – According to our data, this is the biggest setback for democracy in US history, says Professor Staffan I Lindberg, head of the International Institute for Democracy Research.

    Previously, the USA was ranked 20th on the list of countries with the strongest democracy, but in this year’s report, it has slipped down to 51st place.

    The report mentions several reasons for the setback. It concerns, among other things, the rule of law, human rights, and freedom of speech.

    Seven out of ten Swedes believe that the USA is no longer a democracy, according to a survey by Indikator Opinion on behalf of SVT News. In total, 71 percent agree wholly or partially with the statement that “the USA is no longer a democracy.” 26 percent say they hardly or do not agree with the statement.

    – It is a remarkable, albeit not surprising figure, says Per Oleskog Trygvason to SVT News. He points to Donald Trump’s unpopularity as a possible explanation.

    The view differs significantly among groups. Among left-wing voters, 86 percent agree with the statement, compared to 52 percent on the right. Women are also more critical than men.

      So when my political opponent wins, it’s no longer democracy? I think we are walking along a dangerous path, next time when my candidate wins, the other side will think that democracy is eradicated.

      Rules of the game in democracy:

      1. If I win the election, I do what is within the constitution until the next election.
      2. If I lose the next election, I resign.

      Regarding Trump, maybe he stretches point 1, but he complies when the Supreme Court has judged the actions (tariffs).
      Point 2 has been tested once and he resigned. Everything else is scaremongering.

      What “Swedes think” in the (S)vt’s survey is completely uninteresting.

  16. Lasse W

    Apparently, everything is about Trump right now. Just being against. Not for anything. Omni is an establishment media. Owned by Bonniers and Schibsted. Politics are at the center from secular perspectives. Anything slightly right-wing should be fought against. What is right and wrong, good and evil, is forgotten. Everything is politics.

    I don’t think the liberal world order has been particularly successful in the Western world. Above all, migration has been a disaster. The polarization is enormous between an increasingly stronger right and an older left-liberal establishment. Who see Trump as the great threat. We know very little about what the establishment stands for.
