@jojjeols Sweden has 20% foreign born residents…

This is so interesting and telling. China got 800,000 residents of foreign nationality, or around 0.06% or its total population. That's the least percentage in the world; less than North Korea. Now compare this with Taiwan and Japan⤵️

@Eyalo365 Interesting read.

**Instead of the Abraham Accords: The Muhammad Accords** One small detail in the lost details of the 2.0 Iran nuclear deal carries far deeper significance: the United Arab Emirates has joined the Saudi-Pakistani axis — which is now also Iranian. For the first time, a Shia-Sunni alliance is being formed that will overshadow the Abraham Accords. Saudi Arabia already signed a defense pact with Pakistan about a year ago. Pakistan is a nuclear-armed state that, until the war with Iran, had virtually no influence on Israel. Thanks to the war, Pakistan has become the country enabling the Iranian regime to survive: Pakistani mediation, a land supply route (connected all the way to China) — all of these will form part of the new power base in the region. The one who stood in the breach almost until the very last moment was MBZ, the ruler of the UAE. At first, the Emirates expressed uncompromising willingness to fight. It wasn’t entirely overt (the principality’s insignia were removed from Emirati Air Force planes that bombed Iran), and statements from people close to the regime (the same insiders who only a few weeks earlier knew in advance about the OPEC exit) dropped clear hints: the UAE would take part in the attack on the islands in the Strait of Hormuz — islands that Iran seized from the Emirates in the 1970s. But the economic price and the damage from the war were apparently more than the UAE could absorb. The UAE economy relies heavily on being a business hub for Western companies that settled there, among other reasons because of low taxes. The Iranians understood this. It’s no coincidence that the UAE absorbed more missiles than Israel or Saudi Arabia: Iran aimed at the UAE’s soft underbelly — to drive the foreigners out. Not the millions of Asians working in construction and services, but the layer of Western businesspeople and professionals (bankers, lawyers, accountants, management) who support the economy. The strikes on power stations and oil facilities (which Trump refused to respond to and did not view as an Iranian violation of the ceasefire) were only a hint of what was to come: Iran’s ability to damage the water desalination infrastructure and the electricity supply needed for air conditioning — right before summer — threatened the UAE’s ability to hold out. Without electricity and water, the UAE collapses. This is what was on MBZ’s mind, and the results of his joining the Saudi-Pakistani axis will echo for years across the Middle East and beyond: Islamist power is rising, and life in the region — for the one Jewish state that relied on American support — is going to become much harder. The Abraham Accords, which began as an initiative of Netanyahu and Trump and appeared to be expanding and bringing regional peace, are shattering against the UAE’s return to the bosom of the radical Islamic states. Officially they won’t be canceled — but in practice a strategic shift is occurring in which Saudi and Qatari money, Pakistani nuclear capability, and Iran’s military power to project force across the Gulf states are becoming the dominant factor in the region. It will take Iran several years to rebuild its military capabilities — the money Trump is now releasing to them will allow the construction of a far more modern army than they had before. The old planes and ships that Trump is so proud of having sent to the bottom of the sea (how many times did he repeat that they have no navy — yet they still controlled Hormuz) will be replaced by brand-new Chinese and Russian equipment. At the western end of this Shia/Sunni alliance stand Egypt and Turkey, which will link up with the Pakistani-Iranian-Saudi axis. An axis that, over time, will make life in the State of Israel extremely difficult. The UAE was the first domino to fall — but the impact will reach far: to all Western countries. The rise of global Islamic power will not be limited to terrorist organizations like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and Hezbollah — but to an axis of radical states. Countries that the UAE once thought to separate itself from — but is now returning to partnership with them. This is the (unofficial, though not formal) end of the Abraham Accords and the rise of Islamist power to levels we have not known since Islam conquered parts of Europe. Trump’s hesitation and foot-dragging have created a dangerous monster.

@BuzzPatterson Nah Buzz. Your president promised the Iranian people support. Unless the IRGC is removed, this will be a moral failure of huge dimensions for the US.

OK, this is big! We just won the war if this is true. This was the goal: Iran’s nuclear weapon capability. As a former nuke dude, this makes me happy! Here’s why: Iran agrees to hand over its stockpile of “nuclear dust” — nearly 1,000 pounds of 60% highly enriched uranium — in negotiations with the Trump administration. This is massive. That near-weapons-grade material was enough for multiple nuclear bombs and had slashed Iran’s “breakout time” to as little as a week or less to produce bomb-grade fuel. In other words, no gunpowder. This is the crown jewel of their sprint toward a nuke, buried deep after U.S. strikes but still a direct threat to Israel, the region, and America. Handing it over (with Trump saying we’ll likely destroy it) guts their fastest path to a nuclear weapon, rolls back years of dangerous enrichment, and proves maximum pressure works better than weak deals. No more “nuclear dust” for the mullahs to turn into Armageddon.Every human being on the face of the globe should thank @realDonaldTrump. Peace through strength. America (and the world) just got a lot safer.

@HazelMoore32 I think the election is already won by @SecRubio #48

Thomas Massie Emerges as a 2028 Presidential Contender Despite Losing Congressional Seat. What do you think? 👇

@Bananpolo Anthropic diskussionen är spännande. De är ju klassade som supply chain risk då de begränsar användandet av systemet för amerikanska myndigheter. Kanske är det nu så enkelt att ”money talks”?

Det här bådar ju gott inför framtiden.

We demand an explanation from the Spanish government regarding its treatment of the flotilla anarchists

Less than 12 hours ago, she was the motionless victim on a stretcher with a neck brace. Today she’s the resilient, fully recovered survivor, just in time for flowers and attention. These scammers don’t even try to make it believable anymore. They know millions of idiots will ignore the fake injuries, blatant lies, and manipulation as long as the grifter flashes a peace sign and says “Free Palestine.”

@Urban380Urban Ministerstyre menar du?

Då du är Sveriges Utbildningsminister kan du väl bara klargöra här på Twitter att alla lärare är välkomna ta emot en chokladlåda på skolavslutningen

@Rackhamred1 Tar mig iof friheten som infanterist att tycka att det är jättebra med stora båtar. Ju större desto bättre. Infanterister gillar inte vatten.

Exakt så

@brushandcolor @Bananpolo Vad är svartvitt med det?

@SplutC @Bananpolo Just i Taiwan är den svarvit. Ingen plan finns att ersätta halvledare även om vi tex har chip i Sverig men man kan inte bygga kretskort med bara det och även om vissa alternativ finns i Schweiz och Tyskland mfl finns det överhuvudtaget ingen möjlighet att ersätta det rimligt

Trump arbetar för fienden.

@Cylinderhatt Ffa bör Lejonet från Norden rankas bra mucket högre. Kalle dussin är väl egentligen något övervärderad… Däremot hans far Karl XI som skapade ”karolinerna”.

Karl XII borde högre upp på listan. Instablock på avvikande uppfattningar.

@prinsessan_sara Gäller samma inställning järnvägen?

Jag är så jäkla trött på den här regeringen nu. Att lägga så mycket pengar på inrikesflyget, en icke nödvändig verksamhet, är ren och skär idioti. Måtte de röstas bort i höst. svt.se/nyheter/inrike…

@PCamparen Bilden som ges idag varierar baserat på vad/var man läser/ser den… #hållermed

Jag tror att framtidens historieläsning kommer visa en helt annan bild av Trump än den som ges idag. Han har kanske rätt i väldigt mycket av det som sägs och görs, med vad vet jag.

@bockfot Allt var bättre förr.

Man har nog en liten störning när man tittar lite extra på vilken typ av ISOkärl de har maten i. Verkar vara standardstorlekar för de bleck man använder i storkök. Framförallt tror jag inte de välter omkring så lätt i bagaget på en RaTgb1112…

@gunnarssonhanna Nu är iof raggmunk en föredömlig maträtt, särskilt med syrliga rårörda lingon. Men håller med i sak gällande #färggate

Jag ger regeringen beröm men ändå ska ett anonymt konto som identifierar sig som en maträtt vara syrlig, och dessutom ta fel på min partitillhörighet. Sånt är livet. Ha en fin dag allihopa!

@PCamparen Enligt Chat…

Damberg, Dadgostar, Helldén, Johansson, Strandhäll, Ygeman och Peter Hultqvist. Känns dessa namn betryggande? Kolla deras merit och utbildningslista. Skall vi låta dessa styra landet Sverige?

@MartinNordin1 Taget.

@SplutC Konflikt skall i detta fall läsas som tydliga alternativ. Tycker alla lika kommer det sannolikt minska engagemanget.

Ur strikt strategisk synvinkel - självklart bra med samarbete i ex energifrågan - är jag osäker om detta är smart. Greider har rätt att konflikt behövs för att väcka engagemang, men samtidigt är ett av S starkaste kort att stå för ansvarstagande och regeringsduglighet.

@ZettermanJacob Härligt med demokratier! Tänk att vissa istället stöttar diktaturer och terror.🇸🇪🇮🇱

Skänk nu en tanke på att de arabiska partierna i Israel kan bli vågmästare efter höstens val, i den senaste opinionsmätningen är det i alla fall så.

@Dvvmhm @krigsplacerad Ett pansarskepp kan ha mer luftvärn 😌

Har två saker att säga om fregattdebatten: 1) Sverige är geopolitiskt en ö, så fler örlogsfartyg är bra. 2) Det enda som är säkert angående nästa krig är att det kommer flyga massa skit i luften, så mer luftvärn är bra. Fregatter är örlogsfartyg med massa luftvärn, så bra.

@Bananpolo Ser ut som AIn läst in sig på USMC standard…

Är nog ett tag kvar innan robotar kan ersätta en frisör.
