This post follows “When War Comes” and I couldn’t find a suitable place in the post to lock it – of course, I still want to encourage everyone to subscribe to Substack if you like and read the posts because it guarantees a continued sense of liking in the future.
There will be no shortage of topics to write about, I don’t think everyone is starting to understand that now.
Throughout 2025, we have been writing about the Russian offensive strategic reserve that Putin has prepared and has planned that from Zapad 25 until the summer of 2026, there is a high risk of an attack on Europe in some form.
The day before yesterday, I casually surfed onto “the other blog” and it seems to be widely accepted now that Russia has an offensive strategic reserve – the post and the thread talked in terms of “when the war comes” not -if- which is very good.
In the debate, there is no shortage of “Russia will never dare”, “then we will run over Russia in three days”, “Europe has a plan we don’t understand yet” and all other heroic statements that land on defeatist texts like mine.
That has been tried before, for example in 1939 and 1940.
For a long time, it was the Baltics, and us, who advocated the line about the Russian strategic reserve, and I rhetorically asked, “Will the experts and the knowledgeable change their prediction about war not until 2028-2029 when they understand that Russia already has an offensive strategic reserve today,” and this past week, it seems that the highly paid professionals have done just that – changed their minds without the slightest hint of shame.
If you are defensive, it’s good to be ahead on the curve, not 2-3 years off because then it will be like Poland in 1939.
So for those of you who read, you will actually get all the truths about half a year before it becomes mainstream, and the chance to corner the lunchroom Jesus does not come so often, take advantage of it, that’s my tip of the month.
This spring, Europe pushed hard for a ceasefire in Ukraine, declaring it the great strategic mistake of this century, and compared it to Chamberlain’s debacle that is how history remembered him – as a paper-waving coward with a mustache.
For some reason, it was Putin who flatly refused, otherwise it would have gone through. Russia could then have eaten up Ukraine from within and turned towards us. Because if you remove the external threat to Ukraine that acts as a unifying force, they will be plunged into power struggles and a deserting defense force within half a year.
Now, that was not what we were supposed to discuss, but instead how the professionals and experts in the West have changed since this spring – the half-life of the professionals’ analyses has been more than short this time, and that’s because the focus is now on us, something they hadn’t even considered because it wouldn’t be possible.
One begins to suspect that they either have no clue at all or are afraid to raise tough questions – I don’t know which is worse.
First, we had Carsten Breuer’s infamous prediction that Russia cannot attack NATO before 2028-2029 at the earliest, which came in June and everyone immediately took as truth.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62v63gl8rvo
I absolutely screamed and posted my About-Face on Zapad 25 to show that the threat is NOW and not in three years. Russia has enough in its offensive reserve to attack the Baltics now if they want.
In October 2025, Mark Rutte talks about how China will pressure Russia to attack NATO “when the time comes.”
And the German spy chief patiently explains to the cowards that Russia can attack today if they want.
So these are the top brass we have in the West who are crafting our defense strategies and have sky-high salaries to protect us. We in the thread have been more right – because they have now changed their minds and abandoned Carsten Breuer.
Think about that 😶
Lunchroom Jesus won’t recover from that blow, I promise you, when he gets entangled in Carsten’s prophecies, it will be character assassination in the lunchroom where even the offices furthest away will hear the blow and look up in surprise from their cubicles.
If you get the chance, vote for me as an Air Force colonel in the municipal election so I can also get a sky-high salary for putting together analyses that are not the worst at least since the pros have now changed sides.
Then there’s the constant dissonance that doesn’t seem to upset anyone at all because absolutely NO ONE except me wants to talk about this, and I don’t understand it – Europe and the USA have a commitment to the Baltics where mechanized brigades are to be transported to the area in case of increased threat.
So we are supposed to be in place before Russia attacks.
The defense plans are public information and very clear, but no brigades are in the Baltics as they are supposed to be according to the defense plan (summarized on Google AI, of course).
The threat level is now so high that the German spy chief couldn’t keep quiet any longer and issued the sharpest warning of the year, for a career spy, it’s probably easiest to keep quiet, and if he has spoken out, it means something.
So the question is, why aren’t the brigades in the Baltics, and unfortunately, I think the answer is that we don’t want to lose them – we are cowards, and politically many leaders are on shaky ground. A completely overrun mechanized brigade would lead to a government crisis of the century on the same day in the affected countries.
Russia’s DNA is rigged so that if they sense a weakness, they can’t control themselves. In the Baltics, three countries are completely undefended, according to them, and everyone hopes fervently that the Russian DNA strand has completely missed this obvious prey five meters away.
Now that Russia has tested Article 5 and knows that it is flexible, they also know that they will have to start, we will be reactive, and we will find reasons not to invoke Article 5 as much as possible.
The Supreme Commander’s club – our heavy attack during the Cold War that could be either reactive or proactive, and could blow away the naval infantry already in the shipping ports when they boarded their Ropuchas if we wanted. That’s where you can talk about runaway consequences when they sped two meters above the water surface so they wouldn’t show up on radar with a heavy missile under each wing.
We are defending Gotland now – Poland placed some permanent robot equipment there during the latest exercise, and Finland has finished digging its pits and installed home-burning equipment.
Poland is moving around mechanized brigades (which are big targets) along the Belarus border, but in the Baltics, there is virtually nothing – and that’s why the Baltics are the tip of the spear for the next Russian land grab attempt.
The likelihood of “little green men” in the Baltics is 1, the likelihood of an invasion of the Baltics must not be ignored, and the risk of a first strike against Europe – our time’s Pearl Harbor, we must plan against.
Only a strong “force posture” will act as a deterrent to Russia, and that means a very strong statement, like a resounding slap in the face where Putin doubles over and then quietly starts crying as he turns away humiliated – something like that 😡
We do none of this and half of those who read feel that Johan No.1 exaggerates for Swish.
I believe that Europe’s leaders think just like those who comment on the posts that “Russia cannot be so stupid.”
Then they have not understood that Russia has a role in this upcoming global conflict of our time, and that is to unlock Europe for the major power struggle (global third world war) between the USA and China.
Ukraine would have been overrun by 2022, more countries in Europe would have already fallen politically, and the Baltics would have been conquered – but the damn Russians got stuck in Ukraine, which had the audacity to start defending itself.
That tells you one more thing, and now you have to keep up because not even the experts have reflected on this yet – China is already ready because it is Russia that is behind schedule.
Did that hit you like a bolt?
The analysis that China is not ready until two years from now, as the USA just announced, is wrong. If they have built the floating harbors, everything else is prepared; you don’t start by building Mulberrys because they are impossible to hide.
The car ferries are also built, a whole bunch of them, and are moored in the ports along the Chinese coast facing Taiwan.
If China has demonstrably built up Russia’s entire arms industry so that RU can build 75,000 Gerans/year, 1,000 robots/year, 1,500 tanks/year, and so on – what the hell do you think they have done with their own arms industry 😡
We have seen films of factories where they can churn out 1,000 robots a month and films of containers with 700 drones, and coordinated autonomous clouds with AI drones.
The comments when I posted them have been that China lies for likes, “that’s not true” – and there were many such comments.
Therefore, China is also ready to kick off our time’s global conflict, and the attack on Taiwan will be full asymmetric warfare – the big question is when, and my suggestion is to look at the weather, when it is favorable – it is starting now and is good until March or April.
There will be container ships filled with drones in the ports of Taiwan and SOF infiltrated beforehand so that they, along with spies, saboteurs, and defectors, can deliver a hard first strike at dusk, just as the Soviets intended to do against us in Europe.
Paratroopers will pour out of the passenger planes landing on that fateful morning instead of holidaymakers, possibly in civilian clothes, I haven’t decided yet.
What has been added are the drone clouds and robot rains, which, when it comes to Taiwan, have a limited number of targets in a confined area to hit.
Yes, Taiwan has dug in and reinforced its defenses, and they also have drones and robots, but a rain of thermobaric and bunker-buster robots will cause damage.
You don’t need to ask if China has thermobaric and cluster bombs – of course they do, only we in Europe and the USA were persuaded to scrap ours.
Then China will land around the entire Taiwan; the eastern side with fishing boats, container ships, and submarines, and on the western side from the mainland, there will be a mosaic of warships, landing ships, amphibious vehicles, small boats, car ferries, air landings, paratroopers, and helicopters.
The fastest will take an hour to cross, the slower ones 4-8 hours.
Like a Dunkirk but in reverse.
A silver medal would be to at least succeed in capturing Penghu, and Xi Jinping is probably actually satisfied if they can avoid a proper Dunkirk in 2025.
If they overrun Taiwan, it will be an ethnic cleansing like you haven’t seen in a long time – then you will understand what a warlike Chinese is made of.
Just as for Russia, the door to plunder and ravage the Baltics will close in about a year, China faces the same problem because Ukraine has started a drone collaboration with Taiwan, and the advantage in the war in 2025 is now.
After that, only the quantity matters, and the West is on the upswing.
In 1939, Poland knew that Germany would attack them but thought it would happen in 1942 – the senior officer who advocated that line has been suspected by historians of being a German defector.
Poland had an ambitious reform of the military and a significantly better tank than Germany, but in too few numbers.
Then it went as it did, and Germany pushed through defense lines with mines, wide rivers with defenses behind, and a defense that in numbers was as strong as Germany’s – yes, they had some help from the damn Russians who stabbed the Poles in the back and attacked from the east, but there was no shortage of natural terrain obstacles and well-prepared defensive positions, fully manned.
In 1938, Churchill could not hold back any longer and said to Neville Chamberlain, “You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and (now) you will have war.”
So what has happened recently besides those with the most insight openly saying that China and Russia will start a war, and that it could start today already?
Russia has made a legal change so that their reserve personnel can be called up at any time and even fight outside of Russia.
I remember that the reserve was 2.5 million before the war, and I don’t know what it could be today – a not insignificant number have probably signed up for the war in Ukraine.
However, I know that Russia’s conscription is around 150,000 in two rounds per year, so a total of 300,000 per year undergoing conscription.
Something Russia has after nearly four years of war in Ukraine is the infrastructure to start setting up composite units, enough experienced instructors, and experience of the war in 2025.
They have also recently started preventing mobilizable people from leaving the country; they apparently learned from 2022.

It seems that the Belarusian armed forces have gone into a staff alert status.
Zelensky warns the “directly affected” that RU will now build up in Belarus – read into that what you will, but by “directly affected,” he probably doesn’t mean himself, at least that’s what I think?
And Zelensky has issued a stern warning – if Russia starts mobilizing, it is to attack you in Europe, start doing squats now.
https://kyivindependent.com/europe-faces-significant-risk-of-big-war-if-putin-orders-mobilization-zelensky-says/
I am now quite convinced that the reason for Ukraine’s newfound vigor is that they know that Europe will soon be drawn into the war – that’s good for them.
That was also the reason for the US policy shift; they realized that it was futile to get Russia on their side against China – a major strategic mistake that will cost many lives. The USA is not as all-knowing as everyone seems to think.
Because something we have been saying in the thread since 2022 is that a quick victory for Ukraine leading to a Russian revolution 2.0 could stamp out our time’s global conflict and China would crawl back into its shell.
Until August 2025, the USA and Europe have pursued an almost suicidal foreign policy that has brought us to this point, and the only reason it has not ended in horror is the Ukrainian marksmanship that refuses to give up.
To me, it looks like Ukraine is engaging in a delaying tactic to buy time – the question is, time for what, and a global conflict seems to be a qualified guess.
Things are not going well at the fronts at all – I will summarize it next week.
Then maybe UA’s asymmetric warfare will succeed, but if RU manages to go to war with Europe and mobilize, it probably won’t be able to defeat Russia, as then there will be more noise for a while because Russia will be at war with NATO and the country will unite around that rather than killing their fellow countrymen in Ukraine.
We wrote about it a while ago – who will be the first to act.
Will it be Ukraine’s asymmetric warfare or will Russia and then China escalate – right now it looks like escalation will happen first.

Gloomy, but oh so important. Imagine if we had stamped out the fire yesterday instead of trying to pee on a forest fire today.
JohanNo1: ”Will it be Ukraine’s asymmetric warfare or will Russia and then China escalate – right now it looks like the escalation will happen first.”
Unless Tomahawks can have an impact on Ukraine’s asymmetric warfare, it’s a matter of a few days (or today? Zelensky has landed in Washington) before we know more about the issue. If Zelensky can fly home with a dozen Tomahawk missiles and more on the way under him over the Atlantic by boat, there is a good chance of at least keeping Putin in check, as it will be a changed playing field. The Tomahawks can take out precisely those parts of Russian military capability that currently constitute a strategic reserve and can/are intended to be used against NATO/Baltics/Finland/Europe. Biden said he will defend every inch of NATO territory. Can one imagine a preemptive attack? No. But can Zelensky be persuaded to prioritize certain targets? Even if these targets do not currently pose a direct military threat to Ukraine?
Swish SEK 5 for today’s breakfast (pre)reading! As an encouragement to continue non-stop reading on johanno1.
Putin seems to have tricked Trump with yet another summit to delay and obstruct Zelensky. Trump doesn’t seem to have learned much after Ankara and Anchorage. It’s very much like “the emperor’s new clothes” situation where everyone except the emperor sees what’s happening.
One can be optimistic for Friday and hope that, for once, Trump surprises on the upside and sends the Tomahawks to add some more momentum to the summit.
Exactly. Schwung but not Tacos is what we can hope for!
One can also hope that Trump himself or has diplomats in his circle who have learned from Madeleine Albright about putting force behind diplomacy:
“It is the threat of the use of force and our line-up there that is going to put force behind the diplomacy.”
— M Albright
“The purpose of foreign policy is to influence the policies and actions of other nations in a way that serves your interests and values. Tools available include everything from kind words to cruise missiles. Mixing them properly and with sufficient patience is the art of diplomacy.”
— M Albright.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump promises Tomahawks to Zelensky during their meeting, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if the deliveries are halted and a two-week respite is given to Putin after their meeting in Orbanstan.
Trump is not known for maintaining a straight line in his politics, except domestically, when it comes to transforming the country into a dictatorship.
The Swish is hot.
I personally believe that the Tomahawk is more symbolic than a game changer but it is strong signaling politics – yes.
Marteus wrote in Expressen yesterday that Hatt’s resignation may be due to Putin and be part of hybrid warfare. It’s good that they’re starting to write about this issue in “regular” media so that maybe more people will open their eyes to the reality we live in today, it’s not just “far-right extremists” acting randomly, but there is a conscious strategy orchestrated from the east.
Those of us who read everything Johan writes, of course, have the whole picture clear to us, but unfortunately, the majority in this country do not.
Even the exposed anti-Semitism and Hylander by Hitler within the Republican Party in the USA may have such “sources”. Known in Sweden for the connection between hardcore Islamist movements and neo-Nazi organizations where at least the latter spread heresies from both the defunct Radio Islam’s founder Amed Rahmi and from the Russian demagogue Alexander Dugin. On Swedish soil, that is.
They are good at that, the Russians, our whole discussion that the government is at least NAZIS is a little warning for just the word Nazi the Russians like more than anything else.

From Computer Sweden:
When the Swedish Public Employment Service (Arbetsförmedlingen) conducted a procurement of PC workstations last year, they included a specific and so far unusual requirement in the tender documents. In the security section, a requirement was set that meant any bids from companies with a stake of over 10 percent from a country identified by the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) as a threat to Sweden would be disqualified immediately.
This requirement has led to a legal dispute after the procurement. A supplier, who couldn’t submit a bid due to the requirement, demands that the procurement should be redone. It’s interesting in itself, but it’s not about just any company, it’s about Lenovo, the world’s largest PC supplier.
In Lenovo’s ownership circle, there are Chinese companies with a stake exceeding 10 percent, and China is one of the countries identified by Säpo as a threat for intelligence and security-threatening activities in and against Sweden.
Lenovo argues that the Swedish Public Employment Service’s specification violates not only the principles of equal treatment, non-discrimination, and proportionality but also the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement. The company considers itself discriminated against and claims to have suffered harm because Lenovo would otherwise have had “good opportunities” to submit the most economically advantageous bid.
On the other hand, the Swedish Public Employment Service argues that the requirement is set because they are an emergency preparedness authority and the specific computers would handle a large amount of highly sensitive data and be used by employees in roles covered by security clearance. The requirement is also based on recommendations from, among others, the National Cyber Security Centre and the government’s national security strategy, according to the authority.
From Computer Sweden:
The first round in court was settled last summer when the Administrative Court in Stockholm ruled in favor of the Swedish Public Employment Service. The Administrative Court not only states that the requirement set by the Swedish Public Employment Service is within the framework of the law, but they even consider it a very good way to solve the issue. From the Administrative Court’s ruling:
“The Administrative Court notes that the disputed requirement is set as part of an overarching requirement that bidders must ensure that no foreign power, identified by Säpo as a threat to Sweden, can access, manipulate, eavesdrop, or otherwise affect data, software, or hardware.
The Administrative Court believes that the disputed requirement is naturally related to the overarching requirement and the needs that the Swedish Public Employment Service has stated should be met. According to the Administrative Court, the requirement is a suitable and effective measure to achieve the intended purpose.”
Lenovo appealed the ruling, which was taken up by the next instance, the Administrative Court of Appeal. And the Administrative Court of Appeal also ruled in favor of the Swedish Public Employment Service. This was done through a so-called summary judgment where they simply agreed with the Administrative Court without providing their own reasons.
The final word has not been spoken. A summary judgment is usually seen by legal experts as the case being escalated to the highest administrative court. Assuming that Lenovo appeals, which is likely, the ruling has not yet become legally binding.
The case is interesting from several perspectives. The first is that the Swedish Public Employment Service is at the forefront of these types of requirements in public procurements, something that, from what I have seen, is welcomed by security and defense personnel. And even though the specific circumstances of an emergency preparedness authority with sensitive operations have determined the issue, more authorities are likely to follow suit.
The second aspect, of course, concerns the relationship with China. Sweden is not unfamiliar with these types of conflicts – we were early to exclude Huawei from the mobile network expansion, and the case where Huawei sued the Swedish state for billions is still ongoing. Western tensions with China in the tech sector are increasing, primarily from the USA but also with the EU becoming significantly involved.
Just this week, the Dutch government took control of the China-owned chip manufacturer Nexperia, and the EU is reportedly working on new regulations that would require Chinese companies to transfer important technology to European companies if they want to operate in Europe. This comes at a time when China has just imposed export restrictions on rare earth metals, causing both the USA and the EU to react.
One shouldn’t really believe that a public PC procurement is what will drag Sweden into a tech war with China, but seen in the larger context, it is undoubtedly noteworthy. And that the Swedish Public Employment Service would be at the forefront of this, well, no one saw that coming.
Here we are talking about hybrid warfare!!!
An awakening about China maybe. One can wonder what all the Volvo cars driving around in Sweden have in sight? Are photographs taken secretly from the car owner and audio recordings from inside the car sent back to China and further to Moscow? Computer capacity on par with today’s home PCs, and just wait until the cars become self-driving. Driving Swedish defense Volvo question mark.
💯🇨🇳 Yes, serve China, said SAPO🇸🇪.
“But now, 3.5 years later, Säpo can turn to Volvo. During a presentation on Wednesday, the manufacturer proudly presented two armored versions of the XC90. A lightweight version for celebrities and private individuals, and a more robust model aimed at heads of state.” (Ny Teknik 2019)
Volvo has been owned by a Chinese company since 2010, 100 percent.

“Since the Russian invasion began in 2022, billions in Russian assets have been frozen and sanctions imposed in an attempt to reduce the flow of capital to Vladimir Putin’s war chest. But this year’s rush in gold has also fueled the Kremlin’s wealth, as the massive Russian gold reserve has steadily increased in value, writes The Telegraph.
According to the independent Russian exile site Meduza, Russia has been acquiring gold since 2006, with the pace accelerating during the annexation of Crimea in 2014. Since then, the country has built up one of the world’s largest gold reserves. For Russia, the gold rush is unusually favorable, as the reserve is securely stored domestically.
Natalia Orlova, chief economist at Alfa Bank, tells the Russian TV channel RBC that the country was somewhat lucky in 2014. This is because the sanctions forced Russia to increase gold investments and reduce exposure to the dollar.

Kremlin Losing Grip on the Far East: China and North Korea Divide Russia’s Periphery
Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service published a very interesting report regarding Russia-China-DPRK relations.
https://szru.gov.ua/news-media/news/kreml-vtrachaie-kontrol-nad-dalekym-skhodom-kytai-i-kndr-dilyat-rosiisku-peryferiyu
Russia is increasingly “paying” its allies in the war against Ukraine with pieces of its own territory. Unable to marshal the resources needed to develop its vast Far Eastern Federal District, Moscow has effectively opened the door to foreign expansion.
China is expanding its influence primarily through economic means. Forecasts suggest its investments in the region could reach one trillion rubles in 2025. Yet most agreements remain trade-focused, with virtually no major infrastructure projects. According to Viktor Kalashnikov, senator from Khabarovsk Krai, Russian-Chinese trade turnover grew by 5.5 million tons in 2024 and by another 36% in just the first half of 2025.
Beijing is also pursuing a “creeping” demographic expansion. From Vladivostok to the Urals, as many as two million Chinese citizens already reside—and the number is steadily rising. This trend is fueled by preferential regimes within Russia’s Territories of Advanced Development (TORs) and the introduction of visa-free travel. Enclaves are emerging where Russians rarely work at all.
In parallel, Moscow has turned to North Korea to supply cheap labor. Over the past year, more than 15,000 North Korean workers officially arrived in the Far East—unofficial estimates place the number closer to 50,000. Russian companies have already requested a further 153,000 labor contracts. The workers are paid minimal wages, while Pyongyang is estimated to earn up to $500 million annually from their labor.
The result is a situation in which two nuclear powers are simultaneously strengthening their foothold on Russian soil. China is cultivating economic dependence; North Korea, a labor dependency. Both are addressing their domestic challenges at Russia’s expense.

Straight from the source:
The Kremlin is losing control over the Far East: China and North Korea are dividing up Russia’s periphery
2025-10-16
singleNews
Russia is “paying” its allies in the war against Ukraine more and more often with its own territories. Since Moscow lacks resources to develop the country’s largest region – the Far East – it is opening the way for external expansion.
China is increasing its economic influence. According to forecasts, its investments in the region could reach one trillion rubles by 2025. However, most of the agreements concern trade: there are no infrastructure projects. According to Senator Viktor Kalashnikov from the Khabarovsk region, Russian-Chinese trade increased by 5.5 million tons in 2024 and by an additional 36% in the first half of 2025.
At the same time, China is conducting a “stealthy” demographic expansion. From Vladivostok to the Urals, up to two million Chinese already live, and this number is increasing. This is facilitated by benefits within Russian TOP areas and the introduction of visa-free travel. Enclaves are forming where Russians practically do not work.
Meanwhile, Moscow is involving North Korea in the development of the region. Over the past year, more than 15,000 North Korean workers have arrived in the Far East, unofficially up to 50,000. Russian companies have already ordered an additional 153,000 work contracts. Workers receive minimum wages, while Pyongyang earns up to $500 million per year.
This creates a situation where two nuclear powers are simultaneously strengthening their positions on the territory of a third power. China is creating economic dependence, North Korea is creating labor market dependence. Both countries are solving their own problems at the expense of Russian resources.
In the future, the increasing Chinese presence and the expansion of North Korean labor quotas may create a conflict of interest between the partners. The Kremlin risks losing control over 40% of its own territory – nearly seven million square kilometers with a population of 7.9 million people – and turning the Far East into an arena for foreign strategies.

That is interesting. China sees its opportunity to take over a large part of the raw materials they need.
The one who bites off more than they can chew often loses the whole piece applies well to Russia.
But the fact that China is growing at the same time is not good, but for us in Europe, it is at least a little positive, as Russia, when they realize that they are likely losing their eastern region, will probably turn their attention there.
Is it a coincidence that the Ukrainian security service releases this information before Zelensky’s meeting with Trump and especially Trump’s meeting with Putin, about the war in Ukraine?
Exciting stuff.
The only negative outcome is if China takes the Far East and we don’t push back.
Then they will grow exponentially
China does not forget an injustice. They will take back Manchuria.
A question to Johan no 1. When you write about “little green men,” are you referring to North Koreans?
🤣🤣 – yes, one could think that they are wandering around drunk with parasites.
No, it’s special forces with all markings removed, everyone knows they are Russians but Putin denies it for the first weeks.
It’s enough for Europe to wait with article 5
Thank you for the clarification. For a while, I thought it was environmentalists protesting against the digging of protective embankments. This could possibly affect the biological diversity of the wetlands.
😂👍
China will be pushed there, but if they take the Russian Far East, I can’t help but yawn and raise my eyebrows. A colonial power takes control from another colonial power. Unfortunately, the Chinese are likely to be more skilled and efficient at exploiting natural resources.
Denmark tried to shoot down a drone over a military base but apparently failed
phase 2 is called
Why do you recommend in Belgium and Denmark?
The Danes have no ground-based air defense. Chasing drones with F35 probably costs more than it’s worth. Unfortunately, I can’t answer how Belgium is doing.
Informative and interesting 🧐
Gloomy is the word of the day
One step at a time, it is being taken, I have an even more boring post in progress summarizing everything Europe does not do as they should, and then what they do that they shouldn’t.
The Baltic Fleet is a good target to eliminate before Russia decides to enter the Baltics, a strong enough warning.
Hahaha, 205 that was brilliant “Ukrainian victory tariff” 🤣🤣
He actually didn’t like that the UK and France put sticks in the wheels of his peace plan and has shown it.
And finally, he is more than fed up with everything we sell and buy from Russia.
205 was out that there is a meeting in the USA, do we have any information?
Putin’s visit to Hungary is a bit exciting, how will he avoid being shot down 🧐

“A leaked chat reveals severe racism, homophobia, and antisemitism within the Young Republicans, the youth organization of the Republican Party in the USA. This is shown in an investigation by Politico.
In thousands of messages sent via Telegram, leaders of the organization from different parts of the country joke about gas chambers, rape, slavery, and murder of political opponents.
‘I love Hitler,’ writes one participant at one point.
Among those involved are several individuals holding positions within the party and state governments, as well as an advisor in Trump’s administration.
‘This is how young Republican leaders talk when they think no one is listening. This is the language of those who will lead the party tomorrow,’ says Politico’s reporter Emily Ngo to PBS.
The Young Republicans have 15,000 members aged 18 to 40.”

“Carl-Oskar Bohlin accuses the Green Party of wanting to destroy NATO from within. This is because the party wants to see a ban on nuclear weapons being placed in Sweden.
– Now they are aiming to try to destroy the alliance from within, by demanding unilateral disarmament. That would be extremely harmful to Swedish security policy and the alliance as a whole, says Bohlin.
The Green Party’s spokesperson Daniel Helldén tells the same newspaper that in the long run they work towards a nuclear weapons ban and that they want to influence NATO from within.
During the Green Party’s congress, which starts in Västerås today, the party will, among other things, take a position on a motion from the Green Youth calling for Sweden to leave NATO.”
https://omni.se/bohlin-till-attack-mp-vill-forstora-nato-inifran/a/wg7wEd
They agree with each other anyway 👍
The Green Party also voted through earlier that everyone would be forced to live like “Native Americans” – I think it meant that we would become gatherers and hunters again?
https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/kolumnister/a/bmyEXd/mp-kommer-att-vika-ner-sig-igen
The Green Party should not be allowed near decision-making positions again after they forced through the closure of the nuclear reactors.
The problem with MP is that it’s not really a political party but an interest group for nature conservation and more sensible (ecological) cookie recipes.
I can have some respect for individuals and organizations that live as they preach – if one wants us to live as hunters and they themselves live in a tent in Norrland as hunters, then it is understandable.
The Green Party has countless times been caught not living as they preach, and then they just shrug and say that they need to fly all the time, but Swedes, on the other hand, should feel flight shame.
And everything else over the years with big jeeps, dangerous bottom colors, and so on.
Sometimes it gets really funny, like in Gothenburg where they were a bit ahead of the curve and wanted to “mix the population,” so they started with the school, the Left Party had pushed for it.
Then when some Left Party politicians’ own children were supposed to be bussed to a rough school in the suburbs, the politicians themselves stood on the barricades and opposed the proposal, after having voted for it in the municipal council.
The school management probably didn’t really know how to deal with the whole situation, should they listen to the Left Party parent or the Left Party politician 😶
Well summarized.
You write that “MP has countless..”
So everyone in MP has thus avoided living as they preach? So everyone is cut from the same cloth?
Flying around all the time, driving big jeeps, and splurging on bottom colors?
So it’s completely okay to accuse an entire party for what individuals within the party do?
I interpret it as you didn’t think it was well summarized 😀
That the party is toxic and poisonous is well known after Märta Stenevi’s book?
And now Daniel Helden is the chief animal and I have first-hand sources from those who have experienced him that he is more toxic than Märta Stenevi’s book.
Former spokesperson Lövin flew more business class than the pilots themselves.
Lorenz Tovatt has quit and got a high-paying lobbying job in renewable energy.
The one I liked was Maria Wetterstrand but she flew to Finland every weekend and now she also has a high-paying lobbying job.
Gustav Fridolin lived a bit like he preached, if I remember correctly, became a teacher after he left the MP and didn’t take all the free money.
Maria Wetterstrand is probably the one who is to blame for turning the Green Party into a left-wing party. Before, I could respect that they were actually a bunch of muppets living as muppets do and that they therefore deserved the right to use a slogan that another well-known Ukrainian blog paraphrased (about eternal growth). Then she came in and steered them from a third way to a pure identity-political left-wing movement. No thanks!
Green parties may well have their place, it’s probably good that there is someone who informs and lobbies for nature values, and makes us aware of the problems that exist.
However, when it comes to decisions about critical societal functions such as infrastructure and defense, realism must take precedence over ideology.
I had a Wednesday hangover because of the below, so I’m doubtful if I can handle advocating for a Friday hangover as well, some risk of rejection on the motion but shame on those who give up.
We have the world’s most expensive travel insurance for my wife and children here, I am insured through work.
It worked well last winter/spring and then I signed up for the same when we left Sweden and were in Portugal for a week before coming here, and now I would demand payment for a cheaper hospital visit.
You have to include the plane ticket that was – Sweden – Portugal with a stop for a week – Caribbean.
“Well, if you had left Sweden when you signed up for it online, it doesn’t apply, you should have called and signed up through customer service – then it’s fine.”
“Sorry, I didn’t understand I think, registered in Sweden, living in Sweden, was in Sweden and we are here now – give me the money.”
“Yes, you have to sign up for it before you leave Sweden, you were apparently in Portugal when you signed up for it and then it will be rejected.”
😐
Positive – we get the full amount back and signed up for a new one that started to apply and since there is a little time left, we got a big sum back in total.
Negative – the family was uninsured in the Caribbean for 3.5 months 😭
So they have the USA model here for healthcare where you pay five million for a week in the hospital, kind of.
Guardian angel when insurance doesn’t apply. 👼 Luck or bad luck with fewer hospital visits. 😓
Well, everything did work out in the end but I needed to sit and sulk one evening with a few bottles of Stella.
It was a routine visit that was also cheap, but at the same time good because then I understood the problem.
Starting to brighten up a bit here, the little boy is doing well in school but restaurant visits are still hit-and-miss, we went to some Trattoria the other week and both son and wife got terribly sick, I managed fine and took the chance to have a beer when no one was looking.
😂
I can take one for the team and have an extra drink for you tonight!
I suspect that Putin once again gets exactly what he wants, he simply buys himself more time.
“Vladimir Putin has managed to fend off American deadlines and sanctions by appeasing Donald Trump. This is written by Anton Troianovski and Nataliya Vasilyeva in an analysis for the New York Times after the presidents’ phone call this week. This time it happened just before Trump’s meeting with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, and according to the writers, the timing is no coincidence. Putin is believed to have exploited Trump’s successes in the Middle East to flatter him, a Russian tactic that has been recurring since Trump took office. ‘From the Kremlin’s perspective, the charm offensive has been well worth the effort.’ Even CNN correspondent Matthew Chance notes that Putin and Trump have spoken on the phone eight times in eight months. Timing is everything in diplomacy and the Russian timing is perfect from the Kremlin’s perspective, he writes. The purpose this time, according to Chance, is to prevent American deliveries of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. Trump and Putin also discussed potential economic deals and a new meeting to discuss Ukraine. Chance believes it could end up like in Alaska: no concrete results.”

The two leaders were quite complimentary of each other. Zelensky congratulated Trump on brokering the ceasefire deal in the Middle East, and he said it could be the “momentum” to end the war. Trump said he and Zelensky plan to discuss new capabilities that would allow Ukraine to strike deeper into Russia.
Here’s a recap of some of the key things they said:
• Opinions on the war: The president stopped short of offering a view on whether Ukraine would need to cede territory as part of a peace settlement with Russia, the latest in a series of shifting opinions on the matter. He declined to pick sides when asked whether Russia or Ukraine is doing a better job negotiating.
• A possible weapons trade: Zelensky appeared to suggest a trade of Ukrainian drones for US Tomahawks, saying that Ukraine had thousands of drones, but none of the long-range missiles. The US president cautioned the weapons could mean “escalation” and that he’d rather have the war over.
• On Russia: Trump acknowledged that Russian President Vladimir Putin may be stringing him along in a bid to gain time to complete his war aims in Ukraine. Separately, he said it will be just the US and Russia who will meet in Budapest, Hungary, and the US will be in touch with Zelensky.
• Ukraine’s message on the Trump-Putin meeting: Bilateral security guarantees for Ukraine are the “most important thing for people in Ukraine,” he said, adding that for any agreements, he needs to meet with Putin and there needs to be a ceasefire. The Ukrainian leader said, “We want peace, Putin doesn’t want. That’s why we need pressure on him.”
• On cooperation: Zelensky said that American energy companies are “ready to help” Ukraine following recent Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Thank you for the report!
Thank you,
I liked the strategic communication from the meeting
“Right now, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is in the White House for Friday’s meeting with US President Donald Trump. The presidents were in good spirits as they answered the media’s questions ahead of the meeting. ‘This is an important moment,’ says Zelensky. Trump says that the meeting will, among other things, focus on the US’s ability to provide Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles. ‘Hopefully, we can end the war without Tomahawks.’ The duration of the meeting is unclear.”

The Ukrainian leader met with President Donald Trump on Friday to discuss the US potentially sending Tomahawk missiles.
https://www.foxnews.com/video/6382898583112
Talking about Tomahawk missiles, Trump said he hopes they won’t be needed in peace efforts.
“You know, we need Tomahawks and we need a lot of other weapons that we’re sending to Ukraine… Hopefully, we’ll be able to get the war over without thinking about Tomahawks,” he said.
Zelensky suggested that Washington’s provision of Tomahawks to Ukraine could be part of a mutually beneficial defense partnership, in which Kyiv could help the U.S. gain an edge in drone technology.
“If you want to target a military goal, you need thousands of drones,” Zelensky said.
“It goes together with such missiles (as Tomahawks). … United States has Tomahawks and other missiles, very strong missiles, but they can have our thousands of drones. That’s where we can work together.”
Trump said he was open to a weapons deal with Ukraine.
“They make a very good drone,” he said.

Now I saw – interesting.
The most dangerous thing is if China stands “strong” and expands in the far east so that in 20 years they are like a thousand kung-fu monkeys.
That’s understandable for the US, right?
Well, it’s A LOT to try to handle Trump in these discussions 😀
He is kind of the definition of unpredictable and a small mistake could lead to him forming an alliance with your worst enemy, for example.
Mm, yes. I think you can see it from multiple perspectives. If we refer back to today’s When the War Comes and the change in course by the USA that you describe as:
“… because they know that Europe will soon be drawn into the war – that’s good for them.
That was also the reason for the USA’s change in course, they realized that it was impossible to get Russia on board against China – a major strategic mistake that will cost many lives. The USA is not as omniscient as everyone seems to think.”
so if Putin, in his knee-jerk reaction, throws out the report from the Ukrainian security service about China’s increasing presence and stronger grip on Russia’s Far East ahead of the upcoming summit in Budapest, hasn’t he presented an argument to Putin to rethink and instead ally with the USA against China, bluntly speaking?

Ukraine halts Russian spring-summer offensive, Syrskyi says
Last updated 13:30 pm Kyiv time.
Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said that the spring-summer offensive campaign of the Russian army has been successfully stopped by Ukrainian forces.
“I can state with confidence: Ukrainian warriors have ceased the enemy’s spring-summer offensive campaign and continue to disrupt the Kremlin’s further plans by employing asymmetric measures to neutralize the adversary’s advantages in personnel and armaments,” he wrote on Facebook on Oct. 17.
In a statement, Syrskyi said that despite Russia’s continued attempts to seize territory, it has failed to achieve strategic goals.
“At the cost of enormous losses, the adversary has achieved only minor advances,” he said, citing nearly 29,000 Russian troops killed in September alone.
Syrskyi reported that Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold back Russian troops across all directions, while conducting “active defense” and local counteroffensive operations.
He admitted particular success in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, as well as ongoing efforts to push Russian troops out of Sumy Oblast.
Ukraine has also intensified deep-strike operations on Russian military and energy infrastructure, targeting over 45 key facilities since the beginning of 2025. These strikes are among the most effective in the war to date, Syrskyi said.
💬”
Ukraine’s defense forces continue to hold back the Russian occupiers on all fronts, inflicting effective fire damage on them and destroying their forces and technology.
Despite the situation in the combat zones still being difficult, the enemy does not have complete strategic initiative. At the cost of enormous losses, the enemy has made insignificant progress in some parts of the front.
Just in September, the occupiers’ losses amounted to nearly 29,000 soldiers, 70 tanks, 65 armored vehicles, over 1,050 artillery systems, 6 rocket artillery systems, and other technology were destroyed or damaged.
Since the beginning of the year, 2,060 Russian soldiers have been captured.
The Kremlin’s plans to conquer key areas and population centers are not being implemented, but are constantly being revised and postponed.
We can confirm that Ukrainian soldiers have halted the enemy’s spring and summer offensives and continue to thwart Kremlin’s further plans by taking asymmetric measures to neutralize the enemy’s superiority in personnel and weaponry.
We are taking effective active defense measures, during which defense forces carry out counteroffensive operations in certain areas. Our units also conduct successful storming actions to retake lost positions. In particular, Ukrainian soldiers continue to drive away Russian invaders from the Sumy region. Our active measures in the Pokrovsk district of the Donetsk region continue. We have achieved some successes in regaining control of the territory in the Zaporizhzhia region.
There are also other parts of the front where the enemy has not made any progress.
The most effective during all the years of war is deep attacks on Russia’s territory. Within the framework of Deep Strike, military targets, logistics, and the energy complex in the attacking country are destroyed.
The result of this work is becoming increasingly evident for the Russian army and economy.
Since the beginning of the year, 45 objects within Russia’s fuel and energy complex and military-industrial complex have been subjected to successful fire attacks.
As a result, the total production of fuel and lubricants in Russia has decreased by almost 25%. Every day, the aggressor country loses more than 46 million US dollars due to reduced exports of petroleum products. Damage to the enemy’s logistical resources significantly hinders its ability to conduct active combat operations.
We also have positive signals about new packages of military aid from our allies. In particular, deliveries of high-precision weapons, such as Tomahawk missiles and other modern systems, are being discussed.
The use of these will significantly strengthen the pressure on the Russian aggressor to end the war and establish a just peace.
Ukraine’s defense forces remain stable, controllable, and committed to common success.
Honor to Ukraine!
Honor to the heroes!
