Glory to Ukraine!

I saw that the total profit for Swedish banks amounted to 44 billion for the second quarter of this year.

If it remains the same, it means that they make a profit of approximately 175 billion in one year.

Putting it into perspective, we have budgeted to provide Ukraine with 25 billion per year (75 billion over 3 years), so one realizes that even though the support is significant, it doesn’t even correspond to the profit tax of our banks.

    “Drones operated by HUR’s PRYMARY unit attacked Russian air defense assets in both Crimea and Donbas. Among the destroyed targets were three Podlyot radars, two Niobium-SV radars, two S-300V missiles, and one P-18 radar.”

    “⚡️Ryska attacker dödar 7, skadar 28 i Ukraina de senaste 24 timmarna.

    Ukrainas flygvapen sa att de sköt ner 185 drönare och 23 missiler under natten efter att Ryssland lanserade en våg av 344 attack- och lockdrönare, 12 ballistiska missiler och 23 kryssningsmissiler, främst riktade mot frontlinjeregioner.”

    “Massiv drönarattack mot Ryssland under natten drabbade Rostov-regionen hårt. Över 50 fjärrtåg har strandats i extrem hetta efter att järnvägslinjerna skadats. I Kamensk-Shakhtinsky attackerade ryska luftvärn bostadshus. Fem byar förlorade strömmen. Försvarsministeriet hävdar att 71 drönare har skjutits ned.”

    Israel-Syria

    “Israel and Syria have agreed to a ceasefire, which is also supported by Turkey, Jordan, and other neighboring countries. This is reported by US Ambassador Tom Barrack on X during the night. The fighting”

    https://omni.se/a/yEAWEA

    “Syrian government forces believed they had the green light from the US and Israel to enter and quell the fighting in Sweida, several sources told Reuters. But days later, Israel attacked Damascus. Government forces have been accused of killing civilian Druze in the southern city, prompting Israeli airstrikes. Despite Israel warning Syria for months not to send soldiers to Sweida, they had interpreted other information to the contrary, including from US envoy Thomas Barrack.”

    https://omni.se/a/8q4gOQ

    “The killing and fighting in Sweida resemble the violence that also struck Syria in March when 1,500 people, mostly Alawites, were killed by government forces.

    …

    Interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa was quickly accepted by the Western world, but at home the country is divided, he says. “The ability of the new Syrian state to mend the country’s social fabric is being questioned. The country’s new army, a patchwork of militias, seems to run amok every time it is deployed.””

      It might have been better if a neutral force entered to put an end to the shooting. Now the government side took the side of the Islamists.

      Israel, which has about 150 thousand Druze residents, could not accept, it could have developed into a genocide and/or an ethnic cleansing of the Druze.

      1. MXT

        If the UN had been what was desired, they could have acted. When Israel intervenes, it’s a bit like when Russia was supposed to protect Russians in Donbass, but with the difference that this is not propaganda.

        Perhaps even more people will die now than would have happened otherwise, but at the same time, one cannot just stand by and witness a genocide.

        Unless it concerns Palestine, of course, then we should cheer, otherwise we are anti-Semites.

    Israel-Gaza

    Similar events are reported in Gaza almost every day.

    “Many Palestinians have been killed and over 100 injured, most of them seriously, after being shot by Israeli forces near an emergency aid site in Gaza. This is according to medical sources and eyewitnesses speaking to Haaretz. The number of casualties varies in different media outlets, with AFP reporting 22 deaths while Haaretz mentions 17. Thousands of civilians had gathered in the southern city of Khan Yunis to receive emergency aid when they were surrounded by Israeli soldiers who suddenly opened fire on the crowd, according to reports.”

    Manifestation in Umeå yesterday. Two dolls in striped pajamas with Star of David and prisoner numbers were hung up in the middle of the city center.

    https://x.com/SofieLowenmark/status/1946237793325256767

    The polarization in society is increasing, which only benefits extremists. The groups hanging dolls representing Jews, Erdogan, etc., probably have quite a lot of support from Iran and Russia.

    Is it obvious that non-Swedish citizens should have the right to demonstrate? They often stand for many extreme distortions of freedom of speech.

    Many of the most extreme demonstrators are not Swedish, for example, the Quran burners and these Palestinians and Kurds who hang dolls may also not have Swedish citizenship.

      Difficult question about the right to demonstrate. We Swedes are quite cautious otherwise so we are not really used to this type of expression.

      In France, farmers dump cow dung when they are dissatisfied, here we write angry letters to the editor or complain on social media.

      But with that said, freedom of speech is one thing but sometimes I wonder if we wouldn’t need to have stricter boundaries, this feels like it has crossed that.

      Hanging Erdogan can be seen as a direct threat to a specific person, on the other hand, he is a public figure.

      Here they are targeting all Jews and also with references pointing to the Holocaust. If they had also waved a swastika, they could probably have been punished.

      Here in Umeå, I wouldn’t be entirely sure that it’s not local demonstrators who have organized the “exhibition.” We have a lot of hardened communists and peace hippies who feel a strong solidarity with the alleged socialism of the PLO. Among those who regularly stand in one of our squares in the city and play “Long Live Palestine” by Kofia, there are probably a large number from the purely Swedish category who were young when that song came out in 1978.

  11. MXT

    Really disgusting!

    And how the hell did anyone think that such an action would lead to a positive outcome?

    “Two blue-striped dolls with Stars of David were hung in nooses during a Palestine demonstration in Umeå on Friday. The fake hanging was surrounded by Palestinian flags, a person with a Palestinian scarf, and the message ‘A genocide is a genocide is a genocide’.”

      Now I agree on the issue, it is an ongoing genocide against Palestinians that we are witnessing in Gaza and I understand the frustration, but it is so incredibly tasteless that it is Israel that will get all the sympathies.

      The question is whether there will be any legal actions. Erdogan has been hung out to dry but I don’t think anything came of it.

      1. Umlaut

        If NMR can walk around at demonstrations with signs featuring prominent Swedish Jews with the text “Public Enemy” without being convicted of incitement to racial hatred, then this should not be enough either.

  12. MXT

    “Russian businessmen are making a lot of money from Western companies leaving the country. This is what the CEO of the Russian car company Avtodom, Andrej Olkhovskij, tells SvD. In connection with the sanctions against Russia and the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, many companies chose to leave. Now Olkhovskij is not allowed to sell, for example, Mercedes-Benz cars. But the industry in the country adapted and is now producing its own cars instead. And the factories that Western companies left behind meant a jackpot for businessmen like Olkhovskij.”

    The risk is high that we will be standing here in a few years saying the same thing again, despite having acted much more forcefully now than back then.

    “Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 and six years later annexed the Crimean Peninsula. Sweden’s former Minister for Foreign Affairs Ann Linde (S) regrets that she and her colleagues did not react “much, much more forcefully” when they could have, she tells SvD.” https://omni.se/a/KM5046

      Easy to say when you are more than 10 years away, in safety..

      But then it was career-damaging to act powerfully.

      And what is defined as powerful by peace-damaged Swedish politicians???

      “SHAME!” ???

      It usually almost always says that one “should have acted powerfully” etc..

      Can one backpedal when already lying down…

      Should I maybe invite Ann to a Friday night out? She was quite wild when she was young 🥳😂 and not at all a dry, proper type like a foreign minister

  18. MXT

    Law professor Mårten Schultz assesses that the puppet action in Umeå may be criminal. – It is at least within the scope of what should be examined. They are Star of David symbols and clear references to the Holocaust and Nazi Germany, he tells Aftonbladet. The puppets were hung in nooses.
