Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union are equally responsible for the outbreak of the Second World War. On 23 August 1939, they signed a non-aggression treaty, the so-called Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, supplemented by secret protocols. This created preconditions for the occupation of sovereign European states.
The capitulation of Nazi Germany on 8 May 1945 did not bring freedom to Latvia and the Baltic states. The Soviet Union re‑occupied the Baltic states, and continued forced Sovietisation and Russification of the occupied countries behind the “Iron Curtain”.

King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden began his visit to Ukraine by honoring our fallen warriors together with me. We are deeply grateful for this gesture of respect.
The memory of each and every one of them is very important to us – the defenders of Ukraine who fought against Russian aggression. They fought not only for our country, but also for the protection of all of Europe, so that Russian madness and killing would not spread further.
Eternal memory to our fallen heroes!

Ludwig Erhard abolished price controls and stabilized the German currency in one bold stroke on June 20, 1948. Ending the Marshall Plan and kicking off the Wirtschaftswunder. Arguably, the greatest economic miracle of the 20th century.
The Deutsche Mark replaced the worthless Reichsmark at a 10:1 ratio, instantly creating sound money. Erhard simultaneously eliminated Nazi-era price controls on everything except rent, coal, and steel. The Allied authorities were furious. General Lucius Clay summoned Erhard and accused him of modifying the controlled economy. "I have not modified it," Erhard replied. "I have abolished it."
The results were immediate and spectacular. Industrial production jumped 50% in the second half of 1948. By 1950, it had doubled from 1947 levels. Real wages rose 15% per year through the early 1950s while consumer prices actually fell. German workers could suddenly buy what they produced, and they produced more than ever before.
Compare this to Britain, which maintained wartime controls, rationing, and a weak pound through the 1950s. British industrial production crawled upward while German factories hummed. The contrast couldn't be starker: free prices and sound money created abundance, while controls and currency debasement perpetuated scarcity.
Modern economists credit everything except the obvious, that Erhard unleashed market forces and anchored them to stable money. They invoke multiplier effects, infrastructure investment, even "pent-up demand" (whatever that means). They refuse to admit that lifting the boot from the economy's throat works better than any stimulus package ever designed.
Erhard is a legend. Your country needs an Erhard.

Socialdemokraterna och Miljöpartiet går från dumhet till dumhet. Socialiseringen av ambulansen gav en ambulans för hela Stockholm. Nu kommer den begåvade idén att göra om experimentet med snöröjningen. Blir det en plogbil för hela Stockholm nästa vinter? dn.se/sverige/efter-…

Socialdemokraterna och Miljöpartiet är för Region Stockholm en omvänd kung Midas. Allt de rör vid blir dumt, dyrt och dåligt. Experimentet med öppna spärrar för tjuvåkare inget undantag. dagensps.se/weekend/resor/…

Höjd skatt, växande vårdköer och över 2 500 varslade i Stockholmsvården. Det är konsekvensen när Socialdemokraterna tappat kontrollen. Moderaterna är redo att ta ansvar och styra upp. Vår utsträckta hand finns kvar. Skriver på @didebatt di.se/debatt/slutrep…

Efter den havererade ätstörningsvården, ambulanskrisen och de växande vårdköerna. Nu växer kritiken mot hur Socialdemokraterna och Miljöpartiet missköter psykiatrin i Region Stockholm. Samtidigt betalar invånarna Sveriges högsta regionskatt. svd.se/a/ExQy1o/varni…

Private sector engagement is not optional – it is essential for the long-term resilience and impact of cohesion investments. Cities & regions need stronger administrative, financial and technical capacity to partner effectively with private investors. @ktamsons
