🚨 SECRETARY RUBIO: If NATO is just about us defending Europe if they’re attacked, but them denying us basing rights when we need them, then that’s not a very good arrangement.
That’s a hard one to stay engaged in and say this is good for the United States.

@EU_Commission Can't be accurate. Sweden 🇸🇪 recycles everything.
English
In the EU, we generate around 5 tonnes of waste per person every year.
About half is recycled, keeping materials in use for longer.
On #ZeroWasteDay, it is time to use resources better.

@erikfinman 😂😂😂 Jesus, are all Americans this stupid or do you just pretend?
Check the amount of soldiers in Afghanistan since late 2001.
They stayed for 20 years!
Check also how the left and what came after.
Success? I think not.

We took Afghanistan with a few special forces guys and airborne.
The Iranian people love us. It won’t be hard to conduct ground operations in Iran. Kick in the door. Arm the protestors.
FINMAN@erikfinman
How to topple Iran’s regime: - Arm the protesters. Air drop pallets of AK47s onto cities, cause chaos for regime. - At the same time, seize Kharg Island. Cut off revenue for regime. - At the same time, begin Kurdish invasion with US forces embedded. - Triple air assets in region, provide air cover the entire time. - Do this with 3 carriers, 3 MEUs, and 1 Army division in region, ready to go further if needed. Short of full scale invasion, which can be done with the above assets in case escalation is needed, you can only topple the regime if protestors take to the streets, and they’ll only do it once they feel safe to do so + are armed. The above creates the conditions for that.

@TotalKonsult Semantik. Likväl gynnar det en amerikansk administration. Vi bör avblåsa allt nytt amerikanskt.

@SwedishTech_ Notera är det genom ett europeiskt företag räknas det som köp av europeisk materiel. Så ex säljer man UH-60 numera .

Trump, always praising dictators, always bashing down on European democratic leaders.
STOP buying 🇺🇸 stuff as long as Trump is the president.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump, in a post earlier on TruthSocial, referred to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who is often considered “Europe’s Last Dictator” and has been in power since 1994, as “Highly Respected President Alexander Lukashenko,” adding that he looks forward to seeing him “at the next Board of Peace meeting!”

Trump: we must take Greenland because Europe can’t defend it.
Trump also: Europe must secure the shipping in the Strait of Hormuz!

Norge står inför en rejäl satsning på försvaret med bland annat mer korträckviddig luftvärn. Det är ett segment som svenska tillverkare är starka i med Saabs RBS 70NG och Bae Systems Tridon Mk2.
Norge har tidigare använt RBS 70 och Bofors L/70. Möjlighet att de återanskaffas?

This proposal is now an issue for Parliament, and looking at the reactions from the opposition parties today in various Norwegian outlets, if there are any significant adjustments it will likely be upwards, both on ambitions and funding.

Man kan tycka vad man vill om Trump och Iran, men läs detta brev. Jag skulle vilja se något liknande i Sverige idag. Är DU redo? Det vi ser hända nu kommer att bli mycket värre och jag ser ingen sense of urgency eller krisinsikt.

@Nassos83 Agree. I think FDI should win based on experience, product and delivery time. Saab/Babcock is new, never done a frigate before (Saab) but most possibly (unfortunately) the likely winner of the tender. Despite the French strategic reach.
English
@SwedishTech_ My take: Sweden and Denmark were always closer to UK and Babcock's design is based on the Iver Huidfelt, plus SAAB's industrial participation plays a crucial role. If Sweden is indeed in urgency to obtain 4 frigates before 2031-2032 with all necessary changes, FDI is the winner.

NAVAL GROUP ΕΝΑΝΤΙΟΝ BABCOCK: Η ΜΑΧΗ ΤΩΝ ΦΡΕΓΑΤΩΝ ΣΤΗ ΣΚΑΝΔΙΝΑΒΙΑ
Η γαλλική Naval Group βρίσκεται σε κρίσιμη φάση. Η FDI (Frégate de Défense et d’Intervention), που ήδη πωλήθηκε σε Γαλλία και Ελλάδα, διεκδικεί τώρα συμβόλαια σε Σουηδία και Δανία.
Το στοίχημα είναι μεγάλο: η εταιρεία έχει γνωρίσει τρεις διαδοχικές αποτυχίες στη Σκανδιναβία τα τελευταία χρόνια.
2017: Ήττα από τη γερμανική TKMS στη Νορβηγία (υποβρύχια)
Αύγουστος 2025: Ήττα από τη βρετανική BAE Systems στις νορβηγικές φρεγάτες, συμβόλαιο αξίας ~11,5 δισ. ευρώ
Νοέμβριος 2025: Ήττα από τη σουηδική Saab στο πολωνικό πρόγραμμα Orka (υποβρύχια)
Τώρα, ο κύριος ανταγωνιστής στους νέους διαγωνισμούς είναι η βρετανική Babcock με την Arrowhead/Type 31, μια φρεγάτα που η ίδια η βρετανική κυβέρνηση υποστηρίζει ενεργά στις εξαγωγές.
Για τη Naval Group, ένα από τα δύο συμβόλαια, Σουηδία ή Δανία, είναι πλέον ζήτημα αξιοπιστίας, όχι μόνο εμπορικής επιτυχίας.
Η ευρωπαϊκή αμυντική βιομηχανία χρειάζεται πολλαπλούς ισχυρούς πυλώνες. Η γεωγραφική συγκέντρωση νικών σε έναν μόνο κατασκευαστή, έστω και ευρωπαίο, δεν υπηρετεί πάντα το συλλογικό συμφέρον.
Θα δούμε αν η FDI, ήδη αποδεδειγμένη επιλογή για το Ελληνικό Πολεμικό Ναυτικό, μπορεί να σπάσει αυτή τη σκανδιναβική αδυναμία της Naval.
