@RogerStrandahl @globalkorre Om kvinnor står för allt gott för miljön, hur resonerar @globalkorre i så fall om att kvinnor röstade för nedläggning av koldioxidfri kärnkraft. Med resultatet att nu körs Karlshamnsverket när det inte blåser tillräckligt och bränner 140 000 LITER olja i TIMMEN.

Korkat. Rakt av korkat. Bland det märkligaste jag läst på länge. @globalkorre står för mer polariserande åsikter än de flesta. Det här är såklart skrivet för just det syftet, skuldbeläggande, woke på steroider, att polarisera och framstå som förespråkare för Den Rätta Vägen. Mycket medvetet såklart för att väcka reaktion. Inte mer klokt för det dock. Men det är bara korkat. Rakt av korkat. ”När den köttätande mannen tänker hoppa på nästa plan till Barcelona för en weekendresa (igen) så lyser kortet rött med texten ”transaction denied”.  Han får då köpa koldioxidkrediter av den som inte utnyttjat sin kvot, troligen en kvinnlig undersköterska som inte haft råd att semestra utomlands på år och dag.  Det skulle kanske kunna leda till en beteendeförändring.”

The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine resigned and openly accused Trump of aligning with Putin. Respect to Bridget Brink — a brave and honest woman.

Jag fick ingen hjälp. Inget kapital, inga kontakter. Jag slet hårt, tog risk, startade bolag, byggde min trygghet från ingenting. Det är därför jag reagerar starkt på den vänsterextrema retoriken som blir alltmer rumsren i svensk debatt och vem den faktiskt drabbar S, V och MP piskar upp konflikt mot kapital och företagare istället för att bygga tillväxt. Frågan är inte “hur skapar vi mer för fler?” utan “vem ska vi ta ifrån?” Och man säger alltid “miljardärer”. Men de har skydd och kan flytta. Det är ISK-spararen, förstagångsföretagaren, den som äntligen fått en buffert som drabbas. Retoriken pekar uppåt och landar nedåt, på exakt de människor vars resa sett ut som min. Det här är farligt för Sverige. Alla som bidrar till den här retoriken skadar vårt land och vår tillväxt. Sverige behöver fler som vågar bygga! Låt oss vara ett land som hejar på dem 🇸🇪

@BohuslavskaKate Europe is one, Europe is our common home and we work toghter to drive evil out of it. Ukraine will always be free and part of the European family. We will keep our cool when it comes to Russian narratives about misguided drones. Just carry on hammerering 💪the sh*t out of Russia

🇸🇪 PM Kristersson: Ukrainians certainly don’t want their drones to end up on friendly territory. Sometimes it’s matter of jamming or other disturbances. And we should not fall for Russian narrative on this, but instead help Ukrainians to direct their attacks in right direction.

@MichaelAArouet Tell me what "game-changing" innovation Musk and Musk alone has provided for the great benefit of human kind?

Why shouldn’t someone, let’s call this random person Elon, have $500B or more, if he step-changes the quality of life for billions by driving game-changing innovations for humankind?

Percentage of people who naively believe that taxing the most successful more would increase tax revenue in their countries, instead of prompting entrepreneurs to emigrate to countries that value innovation and job creation rather than punishing them. How can one be so naive?

“Putin fears a democratic Ukraine more than NATO tanks, because a free and successful Ukraine destroys the ideological foundation of his regime.” - Garry Kasparov

@PhillipsPOBrien Trump don't realise the point of rules and regulations applying to all and what disrespecting this will unleash. Without a common moral value base for all citizens, entitelment and recentment will simmer and chaos will follow. Makes one think of the moral story of Atlantis.

In the USA today corruption is not just a widely accepted part of the system, it is the point of the system. Go ahead Americans, shrug your shoulders as the President turns the office into a vehicle for illegal enrichment.

Every decision and announcement about Europe, Ukraine, NATO which comes from this Administration is something that the Kremlin would want and welcome.

@Chanakyanexus @narendramodi New cases is irrelavant and does not compare so constitutes whatabotism. Saudis has not raped and bombed millions out of their homeland. India expands business with the rapists. Europe cuts. You keep coming up with new stuff when your argument does not hold. Useless. Bye troll

Not whataboutism. It's called applying your own standard consistently. Europe sold arms to Saudi Arabia for 10 years of Yemen. Funded Russia for a decade. Still buying Russian LNG. The US killed 200,000+ Iraqi civilians on a lie. India bought oil. One of these is not like the others.

Pleased to receive Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Thanked him for an update on the progress on various facets of our Special & Privileged Strategic Partnership. We also exchanged views on various regional and global issues, including situation in Ukraine and West Asia. Reiterated our consistent support for efforts aimed at peaceful resolution of conflicts. @mfa_russia

@Chanakyanexus @narendramodi Whataboutism of the day. Europe does not seek to expand business with the rapists. Europe is phazing out as quickly as possible without a collapse. Modi wants to expand business despite the rapes, bombing of civilian housing n hospitals. ZERO care about human suffering.

@FransJEriksson @narendramodi x.com/i/status/20551…

@Chanakyanexus @narendramodi Its like sending a trade envouy to Nazis during second world war. Modi show ZERO care about the human suffering created by Russia in Ukraine. He does not seem to think Russia should be accountable either. Disgusting person.

The timing of this meeting carries weight. With the Ukraine conflict entering a critical phase and West Asia still volatile, India maintaining open diplomatic channels with all major powers — Russia, the US, France, and the Gulf — is exactly the kind of strategic positioning that serves long-term national interest.

@narendramodi Then you go to Europe looking to create new business and open up for more Indian workers. Your are insane. Its like being pround of shaking hands with a Nazi minister during WWII. You have ZERO care for human suffering.

@PhillipsPOBrien Looking at Trumps entourage he is there to enable business. Merkels "vandel durch handel" echoes. Perhaps Trump considers to look the other way with Taiwan if the monetary promise is large enough. Taiwan might go same way as Ukraine.

The tone of the Xi-Trump summit is already revealing. China is telling the US what it wants the US to do about Taiwan, while Trump is sucking up to Xi as if his life depended on it.

@anno1540 When your north star is money you say whatever the buyer want to hear. But its all a show and Xi knows it. All Xi cares abt is that it helps him portray China as the pinacle of human achivement. That and policing is why Xi has carte blanche from the masses to do whatever he wants

“You are a great leader,” Trump tells Xi Jinping. Xi rules a one-party authoritarian state with no free elections, crushed dissent, censored media, mass surveillance, and political prisoners. American presidents once spoke about defending democracy against authoritarianism. Trump praises it instead. That matters. Because when a U.S. president repeatedly admires strongmen, attacks democratic institutions at home, and dismisses allies while flattering autocrats, the message spreads far beyond one quote. Power without accountability becomes normalized. And dictators notice. Sources: reuters.com/world/china/ freedomhouse.org/country/china/… + bbc.com/news/world-asi…

@dojo_rolo @MOSSADil Agree with the aim but wishful thinking is no substitute for strategic analysis. Iran is not Venezuela. Leadership structure is way more robust, its like trying to cut one of the many heads of the hydra.

@MOSSADil The only way there will be peace in the region is if the current Iran regime is removed and their constitution is revised to give its neighbors the right to exist.

🇦🇪 JUST IN—The UAE is done playing defense. Reports say Emirati strikes hit Iranian oil infrastructure as pressure mounts to remove the Ayatollah regime. The E.U. continues to watch from the sidelines. while Iran continues to destabilize the region. 🇪🇺

1/ 1/ Just back from Turku, Finland — 200 miles from Russia — where I spoke at the Baltic Sea Region Forum. The room: intelligence officers, diplomats, and cabinet officials from Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania. What I told them as an American was painful but necessary. A thread.

@MissionYak @BruckenRuski @GrandpaRoy2 Yep his name is Kransnov and lives in a big white house.

@BruckenRuski @GrandpaRoy2 100%. Sometimes I wonder if there is a secret russian asset in charge of the degrading the russian power grid for the armed forces of Ukraine. They should be able to do much better in cutting power to vital russian facilities and functions.

The Russians claim that mysterious canisters seen under the wings of Ukrainian ‘FP-2’ strike UAVs contain strands of graphite. These are intended to disrupt electrical power grids and high-voltage infrastructure such as transformers and substations. 1/

The Russians want Ukraine’s permission to hold their parade – so they can safely take to the square for an hour once a year, and then go back to killing *our* people and waging war. The Russians are already talking about strikes after May 9. A strange and certainly twisted logic from the Russian leadership. There are also messages from some states close to Russia that their representatives intend to be in Moscow. An odd desire at a time like this. We do not recommend it.

“In war, however, even the slightest glimpse of potential victory is crucial to sustain morale – and hope.” I explore why we may be approaching a turning point in the Ukraine War in my latest at @EngelsbergIdeas.
