As you may have noticed, I’m trying to redirect everyone who comments on Substack and Bluesky to the comment section on johanno1.se now. I don’t have time to respond everywhere, and when you finally go through all the comments, they are extremely good.
I really suggest that everyone starts writing on johanno1.se because it is read by many, like around five million a day, IT said on bad days. Above all, it is saved in a format for the historical archive that Bluesky and Substack will never be.
I will soon move on in the discussion, but there were some who missed the bigger picture yesterday. It’s important to have read all the posts and then be a bit ahead in thinking.
The reason why RU will attack into eastern Estonia/northern Latvia is because it is not a significant enough event to trigger a full retaliation from the EU, but it challenges NATO and EU cohesion, especially NATO.
If Russia tries to conquer the entire Baltic region, there will be war – now it will be small enough for Western countries to feel they can escape this by remaining passive, but if they escalate, it can get worse. The Russians are Olympic champions in this balancing act.
Yes, it could happen that if we don’t defend the Baltics at all and the Balts don’t mobilize, RU seizes the opportunity, but I think they are wary of large-scale campaigns after getting burned in Ukraine.
This time, tactical nuclear weapons are relevant; perhaps they detonate one smuggled in by ISIS terrorists or similar as a warning somewhere in Europe, and then all the Iskanders and bomber planes are loaded and aimed at cities in Western Europe, and the threats pour in.
“Yes, we admit that a nuclear weapon was stolen in June – my God, we have been searching, but now we know where it is, at least, thank you for confirming.”
If the EU deploys brigades in the Baltics, I don’t rule out tactical nuclear weapons according to Cold War doctrine, so the EU should be prepared for that and respond proportionately – this summer, it’s win or die for the Russian clan leader, and he will escalate the violence until it’s no longer possible because this is the only way they have met resistance for the past 300 years.
Through this attack on Europe, RU will cause a stock market crash, inflation, higher interest rates, and a recession in the EU. The subversive activities also include political deadlock and huge riots by leftists, rightists, and Islamists. More detailed in previous posts.
Poland will be confronted by the entire Belarusian defense force + North Koreans, and in both Belarus and Kaliningrad, there are Chinese Special Operations Forces companies, and China threatens war if even a finger is lifted. The border they must defend is almost as long as the Baltic states’ border…
I dare not predict Finland’s stance, but the last time they chose to cross the border into Russia, it didn’t go well. They will also be confronted by a large number of secondary RU forces along their very long land border.
In a few posts, I have suggested that maybe Trump is doing what’s best for the USA here and that his significant economic changes may not be so bad… for the USA. The same goes for foreign policy – as someone usually says, the USA is like the bank, not your friend, right?
There are some on johanno1.se who are starting to think along the lines that are not socially accepted in Swedish media yet, and there, one can and should have different opinions 
For example, until 1989, the USA and Russia had divided the world between them, and Europe lived under acute threat of war, thus completely pacified and had to buy everything at exorbitant prices from the USA as a favor. It was called the Cold War and was entirely manufactured.
Patton wanted to continue towards Russia directly in May 1945, but the West chose to give Eastern Europe to Stalin. This led to a Cold War until 1989.
We had the First World War, we had the Second World War, we had the Cold War, and now we are well on our way to at least one Cold War again.
Do you know who was the biggest loser in WW2?
Yes, it was the UK, their colonies were lost, and they made the final payment on war loans from the USA in 2006 or something.
Before this period, Europe colonized most of the known world – so maybe there is a hidden agenda to keep us in check?
It’s no secret that American banks financed Hitler’s buildup to the war, right?
I follow Sweden from a distance in the Caribbean, and Jens Nylander has revealed rampant corruption in state and municipal authorities, and then there are the frauds against the social insurance agency and all such authorities, not exactly secrets – there are countless official reports on the subject.
We have now reached the point where authorities report the abuse and demand repayment – but no one pays back, and no penalties are imposed because the police have more important matters to attend to. It’s a futile effort, so our authorities buy themselves impunity in this way.
Throughout the EU, we have significantly deteriorated society in an attempt to make everything better – the statistics speak for themselves. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, as the saying goes.
If Trump is trying to clean up the swamp – is it bad for the country USA and the majority society in the USA (those who foot the bill)?
(but is that really what he’s doing, no one knows yet?)
I’ve heard that he wants a 0% tax on incomes up to $150,000/year – that’s at the top of my list for tax cuts in Sweden, but maybe not that amount, let’s say the first 300,000 SEK/year. It would make the biggest difference for low-income earners.
Then he’s trying to bring manufacturing back to the USA, which is also something countries in the EU are desperately considering now that everything ended up in China.
Yes, he needed this majority to be able to implement this.
Yes, there is a looming risk that he just wants to establish a new oligarch group at the trough, where he himself is included.
But to stay there longer than a few years, maybe the plan is to pick low-hanging fruits that make it better for the majority society at the expense of the EU and Ukraine – who knows?
What I have already decided, though, is that Trump is not in any way doing what is best for the EU and Ukraine – it’s clear and needs no further discussion.
Regarding peace negotiations, Zelensky has been clear in several posts now that they are forced into this but that he wants to show Trump that they want peace.
After Zelensky received a scolding for being ungrateful and not wearing a suit, Putin countered by demanding that Kellogg not participate in the negotiations because he “was too pro-Ukraine,” and Trump fired Kellogg immediately.
-the lack of equal treatment is evident.
Now remember what I’ve said before here – Putin doesn’t want a 30-day ceasefire, he wants a long-term ceasefire so he can move on to the Baltics.
Trump, who has accused Zelensky of all the world’s troubles and tried to remove him, and when that didn’t work – talk him down in front of the Ukrainian citizens.
But when Putin didn’t want a 30-day ceasefire and started to complicate things in the usual Russian way so I don’t even dare to guess what is interesting – then Trump says that Putin is doing a great job and that everything is on track.
“teacher’s pet” is a term in school which is probably the teacher’s favorite or something?
“US president Donald Trump has just revealed that the US had a “very good and productive” discussion with Russian president Vladimir Putin, claiming “there is a very good chance that this horrible, bloody war can finally come to an end.”
Kursk is so incredibly bad by Trump – he has no respect for what he should 
Read his statements and get furious – after ordering Ukraine to leave Kursk, he now goes out and says that he asked Putin to spare the surrounded soldiers because Putin was about to win. Terribly bad.
You know what I thought about Kursk, and it’s true just wait for confirmation in the future and remember where you heard it first (after the OSINT and established media).
When it comes to peace negotiations, they are completely 100% rigged and Putin will get away with everything, and no matter what Zelensky does, he will get sh*t for it.
You haven’t heard anything from the EU meeting with 30 world leaders, they met this week.
Zelensky is now trying to strike back against Putin and accuse him of not wanting peace, sabotaging the negotiations, and so on.
Guess if Trump in 1, 2, 3… will start accusing Zelensky of sabotaging the peace negotiations, again?
But Trump has already caused irreparable damage, once again the USA has pulled the rug out from under Ukraine when things started going well.
Kursk is lost and RU is now starting to infiltrate in several places along the northern front.
Perhaps Ukraine has lost the momentum they started to build up here – too early to say.
Russia has regained hope at least.
EU must now stop with the whole “we must preserve the relationship with the USA” and tiptoe around this. There is no relationship with the USA to preserve – we are like abused in a family relationship that keeps us away when the partner drinks (and we drank yesterday, have you recovered yet?).
-Ukraine’s cause is ours – that is CRYSTAL CLEAR.
-The USA is trying to break the EU and make us a vassal state again now that we managed to leave in 1989.
-The USA is probably trying to maintain Russia (we KNOW that after Sullivan, Rubio, and Biden said it, and Trump acts that way)
-The USA is probably trying to have a strong Russia against China.
The best thing for the EU would be if Russia collapsed and turned inward for 20 years or so, 300 years of threat gone overnight.
It would also be best for Ukraine.
Belarus falls and becomes part of the EU, Kaliningrad falls or becomes demilitarized.
The USA will actively work against all of this, and they don’t care about any problems we in the EU will face because of it.
If the EU can just accept the above sentence, we can now start doing what is right.
Otherwise, it will explode by September at the latest.
This is what I want to see –
Norway, Denmark, and Sweden deploy all types of aircraft, robots, artillery, armored vehicles, and ranger units to Finland.
The entire EU moves about 30 brigades into the Baltics with advanced aircraft, close air support, artillery, robots, etc.
Poland receives reinforcement of the capabilities they need, not so much ground troops.
This happens in April – May this year.
The EU issues a series of statements declaring that this is a permanent presence for the foreseeable future but that they do not in any way threaten Russia – very clear about that.
In the Baltic Sea, all countries + UK and the Netherlands form a permanent naval task force patrolling the Baltic Sea.
All ships in the shadow fleet are checked for maritime safety, and there is constant surveillance towards Kaliningrad with a continuous presence of submarines.
In parallel with this, they come out very clearly and demand that Ukraine should return to its 1991 borders leaning towards international law and the current world order.
They declare that they will continue to resource Ukraine indefinitely, that we have only just begun.
We proceed with the EU membership for UA.
We announce that IF Russian robot attacks on civilian targets continue, we will step by step introduce armored vehicles and then aircraft over western Ukraine – that “Shield” thing, whatever it’s called.
It’s time now – if we wait too long, this will slip away from us.
For those who don’t believe there are 30 brigades – do some googling.
If I’m completely honest – I don’t think we will see these actions from the EU actually, the EU will also be reactive in this escalation – if it happens.
So it’s time for the Swede to accept that we may be heading towards full-scale war and that our sons and daughters may die in the east. We have never been this close to full-scale war with Russia because this is the first time they intend to actually start it, the closest we came was probably when we got to Gotland first and they backed off, but this will happen if they have Ukraine under control.
Sitting with my work computer and can’t open the Twitter links I saved for posts, which is highly irritating.
My hope now lies in that there will NOT be a ceasefire and that Putin is too busy in Ukraine to be able to move on to the Baltics – but for that to happen, the EU needs to break ties with the USA and fully start supporting Ukraine.
Then we will bypass the whole issue with the EU, and the Baltics will have time to build their defensive lines along the border with Russia by 2026, and we will get another Gotland.
It’s a race to be first.
By the way, Russia is smoked – I was looking at what Germany, for example, produced during WW2 and in 1944, their production peaked (since they are the aggressor, I compared with them).
Russia’s production numbers are completely irrelevant – if we take tanks, they modify most things and it’s about 400 tanks per year from 2023 – 2024 of decent tanks.
The war has been going on for over three years, and Russia is in a war economy, but their weapons production is an absolute joke.
Since 2024, Ukraine has been allowed to strategically combat Russia’s war industry, which they are actively doing now, so surely the production for 2025 is lower.
Russia never planned for a long war, and they have absolutely not planned for a war post-depletion of their supplies.
Now their supplies are actually empty – what’s left of tanks are mostly T72 and T80 where the autoloader mechanisms have rusted. There is nothing of value left, sighting devices, etc., are gone.
We are probably at the point where trying to complete has the same cost as building new.
But…
If Russia gets a few years here and can buy machinery from China, they can refurbish again.
Or if they receive material from China.
Now, in 2025, they are finished, but it’s a dip that can be remedied with a ceasefire, for example.

Good angle on things! However, missing a puzzle piece. The autistic whirlwind without a poker face? Crystal clear in the #fckptn camp. Trying to influence the German election? Wild Hitler greetings that indicate someone has this playbook in mind? How do we incorporate his behaviors into this! Keep in mind that the exposed networks have paid for construction foam attacks with fake money? North Korea has been helped to empty fake money! Bribes are taken with fake money! He probably wants to save the Russians with fake money? How does this affect your perception?
Yes, I consider him an active traitor to the country.
For which country? All?
South Africa, Canada, USA, Germany (EU) and more!
Renaming him to “Traitor to the human race!”
“We have also significantly worsened the entire society throughout the EU in an attempt to make everything better – the statistics speak for themselves.”
Yes, the statistics speak for themselves: Society has improved in most areas while most people believe it is getting worse due to the media’s skewed reporting. Check out, for example, gapminder and factfulness. Sweeping descriptions like these only play into the hands of AfD.
If you present concrete statistics for what you claim, I promise to examine them and get back to you.
There is a lot of corruption when it comes to privately run healthcare centers that have gone bankrupt, and money from the public that should have gone to salaries and facilities has ended up in villas and luxury cars. And the people involved do not come from skiing nations. See the latest scandal in Gothenburg.
Electricity production
Crime/corruption
Unemployment
Declining exports
School
Healthcare
Mental healthcare basic research
Are just a few
Purchasing power – my parents had a boat, summer house, two cars, a house on regular salaries, and we went to the mountains twice a year.
What does Afd say about the export decline, do you mean – can you specify?
What I mean is that parties like AfD thrive on descriptions of everything just getting worse. The descriptions tend to be anecdotal, statistics are too boring to bother with. In fact, when it comes to research, it looks like this, for example:
https://www.ekonomifakta.se/sakomraden/utbildning-och-forskning/forskning-och-utveckling/forskning-och-utveckling_1209149.html

The Portuguese had it pretty good before the EUR.
The Eastern European countries may have had it better compared to before 1989, the Balkans too.
I’m not very old but I remember some major events.
-went to what was described as “hippie school”, and my mother went through the dismantling of the teaching profession “being a teacher was a prestigious job when I started, something others looked up to, and I have lost 50% in purchasing power” she said in the 90s, high school teacher.
-when I was growing up, civil engineers and chief physicians lived in the slightly nicer area next to us in Nockeby – today being a doctor is not a way to get rich, my sister can’t afford to buy a house yet after a couple of years of working. PURCHASING POWER.
-the closure of psychiatric care.
-major speculations like with Northvolt – NUON, coal power/nuclear power in Germany, nuclear power shutdown, pension funds in the 90s, and what else.
-the closure of the defense forces.
-the erosion of basic research and the fact that we are losing market share in exports.
-my parents didn’t lock the front door in the 80s.
-doctors made house calls when I was growing up.
-the depopulation of rural areas.
-the difficulties for farmers, the number of farms is decreasing in Sweden.
I think the EU is fundamentally good but should be a looser union and then countries should form cooperation groups where they want – for example, the countries around the Baltic Sea for the security of the Baltic Sea.
Things are not going in the right direction in the EU right now, if we compare with the USA and Asia in terms of big companies, electricity prices, salaries, etc., we have had a bit of a desert walk.
Now maybe there will be some changes of course
This kind of thing is crucial for a country so it should be a good idea to discuss it rather than sweep it under the rug, don’t you think?
Discussing is good, but it should be based on concrete facts instead of sweeping headlines like “everything is getting worse” without numerical support.
This came in handy

There are certainly domestic political issues to address in Sweden, such as Jens Nylander’s investigation and the idea of having tax-free wages up to certain levels doesn’t sound too bad, although how it would work remains to be seen.
Now that Russia is almost at maximum pulse, it’s probably best that we/Ukraine continue and grind down the cancerous tumor or cut it out.
When it comes to China, they would probably gladly exchange Russia for the EU, and strangely enough, the USA would exchange the EU for Russia. It feels like someone is making a better deal there than the business genius carrotman.
When it comes to China, I guess that’s exactly what they’re doing, but it’s a bit semi-forbidden to discuss it openly for now.
China swaps 1 for 1, a Lada for a Mercedes… and Trump trades away respect, economy, and first place for a Lada and for Putin to keep the cards in the desk drawer.
I believe Putin fears a ceasefire. He is a control freak who thrives as long as there is war. He initiated the war and has ensured control over all individuals and variables that could threaten him. If there is peace, the pieces could be rearranged in the volatile Russia and he would lose control. I believe he must play the game until the end, either he is gone or activates his escape plan.
All he needs, I believe, are calm fronts in Ukraine so he can take the next step.
Of course, according to Trump and Putin, it was Ukraine that broke the peace.
But of course you are right, Putin is 100% involved in this now and that’s why I believe he will increase the efforts soon.

T sheds a tear over all the Russian KWIA, Europe cheers, and Putin scolds the generals because the attacks have decreased.
Two last tanks have been knocked out
It takes about a month to replace them.
First, an order must be placed for two new tanks to be built, maybe within a month?
When it comes to the defense of Europe, I don’t believe we should think EU, we should think NATO or rather a coalition of the willing within a NATO framework. The EU has zero defense capability and its only function is to not hinder rearmament (which the EU does by easing the deficit rules that Eurozone countries must follow).
Germany, with Merz, seems to have made a comeback in the defense sector, which is more than welcome.
Trump’s peculiar thoughts on tariffs and economic “cooperation” will weaken the USA. The mercantilism he advocates has already been tried and lost against free trade many years ago. The circus will end when the internal resistance becomes so strong that Trump becomes a burden. At the latest by the midterm elections, but it could happen long before if the dynamic effects on the US economy become too noticeable.
I believe that a Russian intrusion into a nature reserve somewhere will be dealt with firmly. Russia is very vulnerable in the Baltic Sea and faced with the choice of losing the Baltic Sea or keeping the nature reserve, I think they will back down. Putin does not want a full-scale war with Europe, as they would lose.
That being said, we should immediately make sure to show the iron fist and not think we can wait.
Countries in Europe take their responsibilities depending on where they are located – that’s how it is really, even if the Baltic states don’t do that.
The USA has pacified us a bit too much, but Germany is now going to move eastward again (slightly worrying perhaps).
Other countries must contribute to the shell protection – that’s where the EU is good.
For example, in the Baltic Sea, the countries with a coast are now taking their responsibility, while Portugal cares less.
I wonder about that Lynx (even though I don’t know a thing about economics…) because what Trump is doing now is rolling back the clock to before 1989, right?
Was the USA sinking before 1989?
Wasn’t 1945 – 1989 actually pretty good years for them in terms of being able to do as they pleased and benefit themselves?
After three years of the Ukraine war, I’m a bit skeptical about it, to be honest, and the point of the nature reserve is that it’s small enough not to trigger a major war.
Yes – we must show the iron fist NOW.
Germany had Blitzkrieg as their thing, Russia has subversive activities. They don’t want another major war, but they want a more open conflict with the EU where they can divide.
Trump’s economic theory rather harks back to the late 18th century, I would say. His actions will quickly raise costs for the average Joe and lead capital to seek out other places, the dynamic effects may become uncontrollable if it goes too far. I believe the Republicans will pull the emergency brake if he continues, otherwise they will lose big in the midterm elections.
This sounds good for the EU, doesn’t it really?
A lot of what is seeking elsewhere will reasonably come to us, right?
Yes, that’s about right. We are already seeing concrete effects, European defense industry is increasing while the US is declining.
Undoubtedly, there are problems with corruption and other issues, but that does not justify statements like “deteriorated the whole society” when we are close to the top in most comparative studies of quality of life and similar measures that are conducted.
*Would have answered Lasse W.
Isn’t that study relative to how everyone else is doing too
Yes, and if you claim that everyone in the world has gotten worse off, you have a lot to prove
I will dig into statistics and get back to you regarding your examples.
Well written. Putler has no way back, he can only escalate, anything other than a win likely means death for him.
For us in the EU, it is crucial to supply Ukraine with materials so they can tie up the Russians until the inevitable crash comes, and it is coming soon, unless the US steps in with lend-lease to the Russians, but I don’t think that will happen. Trump has surely absorbed all of Putler’s lies like a sponge, but I still hope that there are people with some sense left in the administration who can put a stop to the most treacherous plans.
Unfortunately, Trump has common interests with his bff Putler in keeping Europe weak and divided, the European countries should stay down and follow the great powers’ lead. What Trump has missed is that Russia is a great power, someone should explain to him that Russia has never been militarily weaker in the 21st century, and that Russia does not have the economy to be a pole in the multipolar world that Putler so eagerly seeks.
If Trump wants an ally against China, he should ally with a strong Europe, not a completely unreliable Russia, but the love for Putler has probably completely confused the yellow despot in the West.

They may have grown tired of constantly being on the losing side.
I am actually very happy that Germany has finally managed to sort out its domestic politics here and is pushing it a bit far with previous reversed feats.
I don’t believe for a second that they will go wrong this time.
The Saab Gripen came in second place in Canada’s previous procurement process and has offered final assembly in the country as well as a transfer of intellectual property rights, which would give the country greater control over maintenance and upgrades.

Yes, right here Johan has the key to the future:
“My hope now lies in there NOT being a ceasefire and that Putin is too occupied in Ukraine to be able to turn to the Baltics – but for that to happen, the EU needs to break ties with the USA and fully start supporting Ukraine.”
Trump will NOT save Ukraine (or Europe) – that is something the EU must do.
Only the EU can save Ukraine and Europe. But it requires decisive action, coordination, and leadership. Which the EU seems to be desperately searching for.
All media focus on Trump is rather a kind of influence operation and only serves to diminish the focus on the EU’s responsibility, which is completely wrong – the focus and demands on the EU must increase significantly. The EU must promptly provide all the military support to Ukraine that is needed so that Ukraine can defeat the Russians!
So I mean – let go of the focus on Trump (let him carry on in his world) and instead focus on how the EU can save Ukraine and Europe!
Absolutely right. We must let go of the focus on the USA and Trump. Only Putin benefits from this.
Europe must take practical actions now! Placing JAS in Poland is a good example.
All I can say is MES – Make Europe Strong
This is as much an opportunity as a problem, but we must start making difficult decisions.
If you skip English and Make Europe Strong, there might be a stock of GES merchandise to buy cheaply. Then you have to come up with something clever about digging for gold in the USA.
Digging for gold thanks to the USA feels quite timely now
Or it might be good that everyone is focusing on Trump, so that the EU and Europe can strengthen themselves under the radar.
One day without ceasefire is one day closer to a Russian collapse.

We have already seen a rifle with a drum containing very small FPV drones as ammunition against other drones, and the ammunition is autonomous. Russian make.
Then we have larger mothership drones with a battery of normal FPV drones with larger wing grenades, and AI is starting to emerge slowly – should already be in use by UA.
Pretty soon, I think we will see smaller mothership drones that carry around twenty very small (Hornet or whatever they are called, the smallest ones) drones with AI control and a “cartridge” (9mm, 7.62mm, 5.56mm). Israel used these hornets for reconnaissance against Hamas and Hezbollah.
They are deployed as “cluster ammunition” over an area and then fly around for 30 minutes, entering any openings they find. If they locate a target, they aim at the T-area of the body and fire the cartridge. They are probably about a decimeter in size? The range to the target area is determined by the mothership drone, which is either sacrificed or returns home after releasing the ammunition – it can cover up to 20km in a single stretch. Reconnaissance and SOF can take these packages deep into enemy territory and fire at barracks, training bases, and other targets.
They cover a geographic area, and since they are about a decimeter in size, they can enter almost anywhere.
The cost is minimal but very effective against gunfire, which is what the Russians have left now.
The drone warfare that has redesigned how wars are fought has only just begun and will continue to progress rapidly. AI should not be able to be disrupted, for example, since there is no communication to disrupt.
The next countermeasure will then be targeted EMP or an “EMP bubble,” but one must be able to fire at short intervals and, above all, one’s own technology will be disabled.
And the Russian anti-drone rifle that fires drones against drones – the most drones win.
I seem to recall that UA carried out an attack with a sea-going drone that launched a lot of FVP towards a target in Crimea. So, a mothership drone is certainly under development. The problem may be that it is difficult to use fiber for a lot of small FVP and that the mothership drone cannot fly home with a lot of drones hanging in fiber.
Can European countries cancel the purchase of the F-35?
Everything is possible, of course, but it costs pesetas.
Europe probably has pesetas.
No, not in any significant quantities since it was replaced by the euro in 2002.
Starmer named two pressure points that can be applied to Russia:

You can trust the English.
Can’t we just impose all sanctions soon? I think it’s slow to do them one by one so the Russians have time to counter each one.
There is probably no one here who has seen the contracts so it’s not easy to answer.
Having a whim and tearing up the contract without any really good lawyers having gone through it is probably not recommended.
Now they have to crouch in Moscow, long-range Neptun with a range of 1000 km.
