<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIsrael has taken out most of the leadership staff and headquarters of Iran’s security apparatus, so it’s no surprise to guess that they want to bring down the mullah power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are in a situation in the West where our elected officials are largely doing the right thing, but at the same time, they must keep an eye on domestic politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it’s on fire right now – the slightest thing and the opposition, debaters, opinion makers scream about at least Nazism and promise to bring down the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russian influence – yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opposition seizing their chance – yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All sorts of idiots seeing an opportunity for five minutes in the spotlight – yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Russia knows how to play them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So Russia wants to delay and prevent decisions for as long as possible – in 2022, steel helmets were the red line for nuclear action if you remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kier Starmer has big problems and Macron has fallen silent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only now in 2025 is the eastern border towards Russia seriously being prepared to be mined again – yes, you read that right, it is not sealed off yet…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only one who has struck against the Axis of Evil is Trump, and at best, he has received support, but with clear statements that negotiations must now take place by other Western leaders, and at worst, he has received scathing criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Trump is Putin’s buddy \ud83d\ude2d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the rest of the West is even worse than Trump – let that sink in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I support the attack along with 97% of the citizens in Iran, but right now the West has pulled a Belarus with Iran and not allowed the people to have their freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Trump has given Iran a second chance with Russia, and the whole West applauds it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s exhausting \ud83d\ude36<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no return to a normal state in the world – the Axis of Evil has begun its journey to the top, and they will either succeed or we will bring them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doing nothing leads to suffering and increased suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is far too attractive for our politicians to do nothing because then they risk nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are easy to influence for foreign powers by infiltrating organizations so that politicians depend on the support of certain groups and must push certain issues, but also through our gang criminals and criminal clans who can exert pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don’t get any prizes for guessing that Putin does not like the current government in Sweden, which has been a bit too aggressive, so the whole Russian gang for influencing Sweden will wholeheartedly support the opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don’t know if this is what we are already seeing or if this is the true nature of the opposition, but in 2026, it will reach storm strength in any case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you seen the terrorist attacks in the West in recent weeks – all of this is Russia, and then it is amplified to the maximum on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since we have a higher threat level, our elected officials are playing down such things right now, which is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, in the summer of 2025, we are at the point where our politicians have managed to unlock billion-dollar contracts for the arms industry – it looks like they are doing something, and a whole sector is very grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In reality, we have not done anything, and every day we are playing with the risk of Ukraine collapsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now Putin has tried to assassinate Zelensky again… I lost the link, but it was officially from UA. If they succeed, it’s probably game over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ukraine is tired of the war, and at some point, it will also break there, and we will face a fait accompli with the whole mess in our lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the most important thing – it is now in the year 2025 that Putin must test Europe because then the border will probably be permanently sealed off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So far, we have been right about –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Iran<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-increased amount of sabotage and subversive activities in the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And we are waiting for –<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Russian escalation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What could crash the timetable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-One would like to say Trump, but I still believe that much is happening in consultation with Putin, although Trump seems to be under some internal pressure because he probably would have preferred not to strike Iran at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Merz?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merz seems to be the politician in Europe with the strongest mandate to take uncomfortable positions right now, and he takes all the positions at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most recently, his unequivocal support for the Baltics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He is becoming so uncomfortable that he might have a heart attack?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2026, only Sweden and Denmark have parliamentary elections among those that matter, so there are no major opportunities for Russia to bring about changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter how I twist and turn this, Europe is not ready – the USA is one step ahead and evidently can strike when necessary, but Trump is playing with us and NOT doing what is best for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our leaders are not doing that either because they believe that doing nothing is the right way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n And Russia sees less and less of a troop presence on site as an opportunity not to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Europe is not ready for a war, and Putin knows that better than any of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only country that is ready is Finland \u2013 they have never let their guard down, their emergency supplies are full, and it has always been highly esteemed to go to the shooting range or keep personal skills sharp \u2013 a soldier has status in Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They also cherish the memory of their difficult times, perhaps a little less in 1918 but from 1939 onwards, the country was united.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I seem to see more and more Winter War anecdotes from what I read, so they are probably starting to mentally prepare to strike the Russians once again, maybe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Israel has had the advantage of having a “tough” (or whatever one writes) group of Jews in the country who have never backed down from a fight, and they also have a tradition of valuing military merits \u2013 if you have been a paratrooper, it is as valuable as a degree from Harvard in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Israel is a prime example of how people from different backgrounds can unite around a country’s flag and fight for something they believe in, and if October 7 had not been initiated by Russia, things might have gone in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, Russia is behind a large part of the conflict and has been for a long time \u2013 they deceived Syria into attacking when it happened because they presented “evidence” (completely fabricated) that Israel would attack the following week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The more combative Israelis have protected the less warlike parts of the civilian population, who, however, have also stood up when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The question is, what has 2025 done to that fighting spirit and how much have drone weapons shifted Israel’s advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, they have a button that, in the face of an existential threat, will launch their nuclear weapons at the capitals around them \u2013 if we go down, you go down is the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Europe is a bit peace-damaged, but so far we have been protected by the Ukrainian spirit, and so far managed to avoid making difficult decisions while Ukrainian children are tortured, raped, and murdered in large numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The question is how long Ukraine can handle this without Zelensky falling and the country agreeing to a peace in our time negotiated by us morally higher-standing individuals in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If Russia attacks the Baltics, it is only because we have allowed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or if they attack Ukraine from Belarus \u2013 that could have been avoided in the years before the invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The invasion of Ukraine itself could probably have been avoided if Europe had let Belarus fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes \u2013 one can become slightly conspiratorial and believe that everyone is sitting and dealing like Trump for world domination and enslavement of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the truth is probably that our elected officials are cowards, those who are not cowards cut Russia down in various ways, gladly through “unexpected resignations,” and then there is such a large buzzing of opposition, paid politicians and debaters, and useful idiots that our politicians find it difficult to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The entire Cold War was like this, and the lead-up to WW2 as well \u2013 the difference from the Cold War is that the USA no longer projects that threat against Russia, which seems deterrent, and then there is reason to believe that the escalation will continue until it stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It will probably stop in 2026 when the entire border with Russia is mined, but it is not today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zelensky is starting to look stressed again, Trump has prevented asymmetric warfare since November, and right now Ukraine is retreating in northern Luhansk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Europe verbally opposes Ukraine giving up land, which is commendable, and our arms industry is now active, but what happens if Ukraine collapses?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing good, of course, except that Putin manages to advance his positions, and this is the risk that Europe has chosen to accept a full-scale war, so I don’t even think they have a risk list they are working with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zelensky at least has evidence that RU is planning something with Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The upside is that Sirsky announced that UA can now begin offensive operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And that UA recently struck in Sumy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was also rumored that UA SOF carried out a liberation act against Russian missile silos in the far east \u2013 let’s see if Dengamle is there \ud83e\uddd0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The conclusion can only be that for this to end happily, Ukraine needs to free us from the Russian Ural threat, so we continue to fully support Ukraine \u2013 it is the easiest way to achieve real peace in our time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I will be back full-time around July 9-10 when you all go on vacation, but don’t miss the posts because it will be a very exciting summer \u2013 then it’s full speed ahead until the weeks before Christmas when we leave the Caribbean for a month of freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I will also have to wait until after the holidays to start complaining about donations because according to the latest review at the work meeting, the site is in deficit on an annual basis \u2013 costs more than it brings in, excluding time spent, only direct costs (which I try to get MXT to cover) \ud83d\ude2d<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you liked the post \u2013 please share it in your channels, and most importantly, share the English version with people you think may appreciate posts and comments they have not been able to read before. https:\/\/johanno1.se\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Continued appreciation for the site is always gratefully received, and there is a QR code for that purpose, as well as a donation page with links to Swedish Rescuers, drones 2 Ukraine, and other organizations we have learned over time are legitimate and worth donating to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Substack \u2013 there is still a chance to become subscribers, which is valuable to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
