@MajrudPeter Problemet med @dahbjo historieskrivning är att den är så vinklad och förenklad att den inte blir särskilt meningsfull för den dom faktiskt vill lära sig något. Lösryckta citat och enskilda meningar används för stt förklara strategi, innehåll och utfall av något komplicerat.

@Oldscarfe @Microinteracti1 @DeepFriedLatino And Sweden. Lost a few lives there, too.

@Microinteracti1 @DeepFriedLatino Georgia too.

Let me explain something to the MAGA crowd, because clearly someone needs to. They seem to think NATO is cosmic room service. You pick up the phone, say “hello, we’re having a bit of a war here,” and thirty-one countries march to your rescue. A continental Uber for military adventures. That is not how it works. Article 5 is a mutual defense clause. The clue is in the word mutual. And it has been triggered exactly once in NATO’s entire history. After September 11. When America was attacked. Not Europe. America. Every NATO member showed up. They went to Afghanistan. They fought. They bled. They died. In America’s war. On America’s behalf. Now imagine they hadn’t. Over 1,100 allied soldiers died in Afghanistan. British, Canadian, German, Danish, Polish. And yes, even Ukrainian soldiers, who had no NATO obligation whatsoever. Gone. Without them, those are American names on those graves. Sons from Ohio. Fathers from Georgia. Kids from Nebraska who never came home. Then there is the money. NATO allies spent over 100 billion dollars on a war that started on American soil. Without that, Washington pays every cent. On top of the 2 to 3 trillion the war already cost. And without allied bases across Europe and Central Asia, American supply lines collapse entirely. Without British forces in Helmand and Canadians in Kandahar, the Taliban reconstitutes in three years instead of ten. The gaps get filled one way. More American deployments. More American coffins arriving at Dover. Afghanistan was bloody. But NATO took the hit. Without them, every single one of those casualties would have had an American name. Trump called allies like these losers. Suckers. If you are a certain kind of broken person, that probably makes sense to you. But for the rest of us, what those soldiers did has a different name. Honor. The bond between men who have been in the same dirt, under the same fire. Between Brits and Americans, Frenchmen and Norwegians, Canadians and Danes. Not a diplomatic relationship. A blood bond. Brotherhood forged in places most people will never see and cannot imagine. In that culture, you do not mock a fallen ally. You do not sneer at the dead. It is the lowest thing a human being can do. Trump did it to a standing ovation. If you are a MAGA supporter travelling to NATO countries, understand this. There are no friendly pats on the back waiting for you. No one will buy you a beer. The governments who share your worldview sit in Minsk, Moscow and Pyongyang. Brutal dictatorships where journalists disappear, elections are theatre and dissent is a medical condition treated in basements. Not London. Not Paris. Not Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin or Ottawa. You have abandoned the open societies, the free press, the rule of law, the places where people actually want to live. You traded the best of civilization for a very small, very dark room. Frankly, it serves you right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@stats_feed It is also THE ONLY national anthem which mentions Sweden. Our own national anthem doesn't.

🇵🇱 Countries mentioned in the Polish National Anthem: Mentioned negatively: 🇸🇪 Sweden Indirectly mentioned negatively: 🇷🇺 Russia 🇩🇪 Germany 🇦🇹 Austria Mentioned: 🇮🇹 Italy Indirectly mentioned positively: 🇫🇷 France

@semiazah @znutzzy @SeastedtInc @Cappegunn ...eller att gå tillbaka till ett samhälle som genomsyras av religion, oavsett religion.

@znutzzy @SeastedtInc @HistFredde @Cappegunn det finns ingen "kristen civilisation", kristendom har angripit vår civ i 2000 år och nu är vi på dekis, givetvis är man helt genomkorkad om man uppfattar det som att lösningen på detta är mer kristendom

Kristna skapar bättre samhällen än sekulära atheister. Detta är sant helt oberoende om gud finns eller inte.

@larsef @SeastedtInc @Cappegunn Statistiskt säkerställd verklighet är jobbig.

@SeastedtInc @HistFredde @Cappegunn Polen och Litauen är fler exempel, som båda är mycket religiöst länder med ett födelsetal på 1,2. Tjeckien och Sverige har ett födelsetal på 1,5. Båda högt på listan av att vara mest sekulariserade i världen.

@peter_sehlin @FarazPervaiz3 Mördare?

@HistFredde @FarazPervaiz3 Vilka är de som mördar kristna runt om i världen och nu framförallt i afrikanska länder?

Islam has problem with Christians. Islam has problem with Hindus. Islam has problem with Jews. To be honest, Islam itself is the biggest Problem for the world.

@_SeRgz_ @SeastedtInc Trams. Moral skapas för att människor behöver samarbeta och då behövs gemensamma regler. Gudar skapas efter behov. Jägar och samlare hade andra gudar än jordbrukare osv.

@HistFredde @SeastedtInc

@WolfJ_C @DrMaximus_NYC @RasmusJarlov @grok No. Fake.

@DrMaximus_NYC @RasmusJarlov @HistFredde @grok Not really a trustworthy source.

It is incredible how concerned MAGA parrots are with the 5% muslims in the EU. It is the go-to argument regardless of whether you are discussing tariffs, NATO, China or postal stamps. Who programmed all of these anonymous accounts that have nothing else to offer in every single thread on Twitter?

@SeastedtInc @StaffanG_son Jätteduktig resonemang. Du behöver läsa på lite om demografiska. Höga eller låga födelsetal har inte med religion att göra. Inte heller med tillgången på preventivmedel. Beror på ekonomisk utveckling.

@StaffanG_son @HistFredde Du kan lösa problemet med massinvandring men det har vi sett hur bra det går. Och hur fungerar det när du har fått som du vill och alla länder följer din plan och alla ligger under ersättningsnivån? Då behöver alla länder invandring. Det är ohållbart och en dödsdom för samhället.

@SeastedtInc @Cappegunn Nej. Sekularisering har gett frihet, demokrati och ekonomisk utveckling. Läs en historiebok. Alla länders fertilitet är fallande. Finns väl inget egenvärde i att vara 20 miljarder?

@HistFredde @Cappegunn Sluta spela korad. Vi ligger under ersättningsnivån och du säger själv att alla kommer ligga under den nivån ( även fast detstämmer inte, det är ett snitt) men om även om hela världen ligger under nivån så är det sekulära samhället en dödsdom.

100,000 American troops in Europe = a free ride for Europeans? Let's check the facts. 🔹 American military bases are not free Germany, Italy, Spain, and Romania pay for the infrastructure, land, utilities, and civilian personnel of US bases. Germany alone contributes over $1 billion annually to support the American military presence on its soil. 🔹 Europe is the largest customer of the American defense industry F-35s, Patriot missiles, HIMARS, Apaches — all purchased by Europeans with real money. Every security alarm in Europe translates into contracts for Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing. 🔹 American bases in Europe don't only protect Europe Ramstein in Germany coordinates operations across Africa and the Middle East. Sigonella in Italy covers the Mediterranean and North Africa. Romania secures the eastern flank and the Black Sea. These are global American strategic assets — not neighborhood security for Europeans. 🔹 Command is American, not European NATO is always led by an American Supreme Commander (SACEUR). Europe contributes troops, bases, and money — but America holds the controls. Those who control the structure are not the ones getting a free ride. 🔹 The nuclear umbrella is not altruism American nuclear deterrence in Europe keeps the dollar as the world's reserve currency, keeps European markets open to US corporations, and legitimizes American hegemony against Russia and China. But what would actually happen if America withdrew its troops from Europe? 🔹 For America — immediate strategic losses Without bases in Europe, American response time to any crisis in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East grows from hours to days. Ramstein, Sigonella, and Incirlik cannot be replaced by aircraft carriers. Infrastructure built over decades disappears overnight. 🔹 The American defense industry loses its biggest customer A Europe without the US umbrella will build its own defense industry — and fast. Airbus Military, KNDS, Leonardo, and Rheinmetall will take the contracts that Lockheed and Raytheon currently win. Billions of dollars shift from America to Europe. 🔹 The dollar weakens Dollar hegemony is partly sustained by American global military credibility. A withdrawal from Europe signals to the world that America no longer guarantees the postwar order. Alternatives — the euro, the yuan — become more attractive as global reserve options. 🔹 Russia wins without firing a single shot Not necessarily through immediate invasion — but through political influence, energy pressure, and the gradual destabilization of countries on the eastern frontier. The Baltic states, Poland, and Romania enter a security grey zone that no one can guarantee quickly. 🔹 China watches and draws conclusions about Taiwan A precedent of withdrawal from Europe sends a direct signal to Beijing: American commitments are negotiable. The cost of deterrence in the Pacific rises exponentially. Withdrawal is not isolationism. It is strategic abdication. America would not be leaving Europe because it no longer has interests there. It would be leaving while ignoring that those very interests are what make it a superpower. The "free ride" narrative doesn't describe Europe. It describes exactly what America has in Europe.

@UlfDahlen Du menar det Finland som fått foga sig efter Ryssland?

Det är mycket tråkigt och farligt att Sverige gick med i NATO, men att Finland gick med är genuint tragiskt. De har kastat bort sin unika relation till Ryssland för ingenting.

@NewLionHearts2 @joni_askola You mean like Ukraine? Is that one of those societies who cannot defend anything?

@joni_askola Well if Russia mobilises its population into the Army as it always was able to they would just flatten Western Europe as fast as their Tanks can roll - Last stop Gibraltar. Europeans have created a Total Failure Society which has completely wrong Ideas & cannot defend ANYTHING

If Russia launches a ground invasion of an EU country and the US refuses to help, Europe would be in deep trouble. Russia currently has a significant advantage in unmanned warfare. It would take months of heavy losses for Europe to catch up to their drone capabilities

@Melbana222 @RasmusJarlov @joni_askola Yeah but....doesn't seem to be working, does it?

@RasmusJarlov @joni_askola x.com/melbana222/sta…

@joni_askola @janlenander 1. Euro-NATO is militarily stronger than Russia and economically lightyears ahead 2. No, you don't 3. No 4. Do you get paid in Rubles or Bitcoin?

@AndreasLP3 @martin_borin Följer med spänning svaret.

@martin_borin Så vilken typ av valfusk pågår i Sverige som trump stoppar i USA?

Trump stoppar valfusk. Det gör inte Sverige och Wallenberg eftersom det är Wallenberg som kontrollerar valutgången. Och har så gjort de senaste 100 åren.

@TobiasMbonneAlm @mana_of_moria @Kevin051037274 @SeastedtInc Ingen statskyrka. Ett av världens mest sekulära länder.

@mana_of_moria @Kevin051037274 @HistFredde @SeastedtInc Objektivt ett kristet land. Statskyrka och allting.

@DrMaximus_NYC @RasmusJarlov Nor do we.

@RasmusJarlov @HistFredde We don’t have no go zones bozo. There are ghettos but ghettos aren’t no go zones due to some imam or sharia loving neanderthal declaring it.

@Cappegunn @SeastedtInc ? Menar du demografiska? Inom 50 år kommer hela världen att lägga under den nivån. Världsfertiliteten är 2,2 idag.

@HistFredde @SeastedtInc Vi ligger under ersättningsnivån.

@DrMaximus_NYC @RasmusJarlov No, it doesn't. I live nearly. Name the area.

@HistFredde @RasmusJarlov Malmo has no go zones dude.
