I miss Russia in various arenas so much that even FIFA now thinks it’s time to let them in, as other federations have also suggested.

I long for Russians as much as I long for algal blooms, ticks, and killer slugs.

FIFA’s president hopes to soon “welcome back” Russia into the world of football.
“I hope that we can turn the page soon,” says Gianni Infantino at the UEFA Congress.

I don’t want to see Russia in any sport for at least 20 years; they should also be banned for life from participating in European competitions. They can compete against North Korea, Iran, and China in both winter and summer sports, with a good chance of winning medals without state-funded doping.

Trump: “Tariffs will bring our country 7 trillion dollars.”

Today the US stock market lost ~3 trillion dollars.

They don’t seem to agree that tariffs are a brilliant idea.

In reply to Westley Richard. There has been speculation about which party Musk will support in next year's election, now we may have the answer, S. This assumes that they move forward with the proposal to shorten working hours which will lead to increased consumption and lower production.

In reply to N Eklund. I agree that it is shameful that the two blocks for more than a decade became dependent on the Green Party and their policies that have been directly harmful to Sweden.

Countries including China, Germany, Japan, and South Korea have pursued policies that suppress the domestic consumption power of their own citizens to artificially boost the competitiveness of their export products. Such policies include regressive tax systems, low or unenforced penalties for environmental degradation, and policies intended to suppress worker wages relative to productivity.

Maybe not the image that we have of Germany.

Late comment but good update today Choosing to comment on what is most off-topic, namely the Green Party (MP). The problem is not the Green Party, it is a party that is needed and exists in our parliament, however, I believe that it is the responsibility of the other parties, especially the Social Democrats (S) and the Moderates (M), to ensure that the Green Party's most absurd proposals are not implemented. The most important thing for a politician today is not, as one might think, to be able to conduct a consequence analysis but to be able to shift blame, and in that regard, it is convenient to have the Green Party to blame.

In reply to johan No.1.

We’ll see. Garcia is fully booked but it could be strategic communication. Also.

But I won’t be sad if they strike, the mullahs are neither peace angels nor our friends in a more general sense.
