Each post, and all comments, are now available in English version at – https:\/\/johanno1.se\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MXT has spent some unpaid work time incorporating an AI program that translates all posts and comments directly so you can also read them in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then he sat down and translated all old posts and comments one word at a time \u2013 that’s dedication \ud83d\ude36<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the kicker \u2013 if something is written in the English version, it will also appear on the Swedish side so Swedes and English speakers can communicate in their respective languages that are directly translated between the different sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Name a blog that has that, and if you hesitated that we are world leaders \ud83e\uddd0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first non-Swedish speaker was on the site yesterday, a Joseph Fritzl, and I asked what he wanted as payment and got the answer a new basement door \u2013 not completely on board there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There might be a pitfall with the setup, which is that you pay per amount of translated text so feel free to write comments but only with one word, like “Hello” or “No.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is actually groundbreaking and something I’ve missed on platforms like Substack \u2013 there isn’t enough daytime per day to add that extra work element. We’ve had a hysterical amount of discussions about this in internal meetings with Bluesky DM messages but damn, it turned out so well. And the translation itself is as good as it could be \u2013 other programs have delivered significantly worse results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please share the English site with those you think might be interested but don’t understand Swedish, and by that I don’t just mean Scania dialect that no one understands, not even themselves, but those who don’t know the Swedish language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, the style icon and absolute pop idol Merz came to life just as we world leaders assumed he would, as we have trusted him all along. Merz confirmed that the entire West now allows Ukraine to target any goals in Russia with the weapons they have sent \u2013 delivery of violent German death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that weapons made in Ukraine can now also be used against any targets, and the slightly more boring part \u2013 Ukraine has had restrictions up until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The damn Russians of course found out about this before us and flew over the weekend to the war bunkers in a dozen government planes that could cover the entire leadership which is now going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game on, damn Russians \u2013 now it’s going to sting in the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A slightly more sober analysis is that Russia was prepared for this escalation and will meet it, they will try with various threats as usual and with violence where they think it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very significant escalation but not as Putin wants, however, Russia has anticipated this and delayed so they have time to reach the next escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the question is what the Russian aftermath will be here because it is very clear that Putin has had the strategy to test Europe’s limits and now he has found a limit where there wasn’t a very fun reaction when he crossed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have another interesting trend and that is that RU losses are decreasing while they are capturing villages and the number of battles remains high, except for RU artillery which is still heavily used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily updates on johanno1.se in the thread under today’s post \u2013 don’t miss out at your own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
