I thought long and hard about how I could explain why this equipment is needed so desperately here in Donetsk Oblast. Why we need help pushing our fundraiser:  paypal.com/donate?campaign_i… How do I explain the importance of an EcoFlow? A tablet? A Starlink? I realized it would be better to show you. To show you my city. To show you how things have changed. To show you what life looks like here, and why equipment that might seem ordinary somewhere else can mean everything on this front. We need your help to hold the line. To keep the russians at bay. To give our soldiers the equipment they need to keep doing their jobs. Off the top of my head I know we need:  4 Starlinks
Winter tires
10 EcoFlows
20 tablets
8 generators
3 3D printers
4 ground drones
100 chest seals but the list is so much more extensive.  These aren't things sitting on a wishlist. They're things we need here, now. #SupportUkraine #Support93

En extremt pressad situation brukar inte pågå i 10 dygn...Men som sagt var: de är inte infanterisoldater - de är poliser... Plus: det finns inget som säger att en person som klarar av en uppgift under press (när det INTE är allvar) kommer att klara av det i en situation då det verkligen ÄR allvar (och det omvända gäller också: de som fryser i en pressad situation under träning kan reagera korrekt och som en riktig hjälte vid blodigt allvar)...Människans psykologi och reaktioner är komplexa områden...

Nationella insatsstyrkan är inte MILITÄRA SOF, de är POLISER och borde inte behöva genomgå 10 dagar under EXTREM stress och press av en enda anledning: Få av dem kommer någonsin att ställas inför en infanterisoldats situation vad gäller tidsmässig stress och press... En infanterisoldat lever med stress och press i MÅNADER men det gör inte svenska insatsstyrkan så därför behöver inte selekteringen vara lika hård där!

Jag ifrågasätter dock följande om man lyssnar på radioprogrammet: De utsätts alltså under 10 dygn för EXTREMA påfrestningar... Hur många nationella polisärenden för nationella insatsstyrkan har någonsin pågått i 10 jävla dygn!? Bara undrar....

Vad beror det på att nationella insatsstyrkan inte längre får tillräckligt med kvalificerade sökanden? Kan det ha att göra med att manlighet numera anses vara toxisk? Att manliga hjältar inte längre är ett ideal? Eller vad beror det på? sverigesradio.se/play/artike…

Did He Fall Asleep in History Class?

The Pentagon's most dangerous problem may not be Iran. It may be what happens when leadership stops listening. Pete Hegseth was given responsibility for one of the largest and most complex organizations in the world. More than 2.8 million military and civilian personnel. His previous experience? Military service as a National Guard officer, followed by years as a television personality. That doesn't automatically make someone unqualified. But leadership at this level requires something far more important than confidence: the ability to recognize expertise, challenge assumptions and listen when experienced professionals tell you something you don't want to hear. Since Hegseth took office, at least 20 senior military and civilian leaders have been fired, forced out or departed. In August, senior military commanders reportedly warned that prolonging operations against Iran risked undermining American military readiness elsewhere. Those warnings deserve serious attention. Now the war is dragging on, Republicans have suffered a devastating election defeat, and Hegseth himself faces growing political pressure. There is a lesson here that applies far beyond the Pentagon. When loyalty becomes more valuable than competence, organizations don't necessarily stop functioning. They stop questioning. Bad news becomes unwelcome. Critical assessments become inconvenient. Confidence replaces evidence. And eventually, reality catches up. Some might call it the Dunning–Kruger effect. I would call it a dangerous failure of leadership. But let's remember one thing: Hegseth didn't appoint himself. And he didn't make the final decision to go to war. Accountability shouldn't stop at the first person in the chain of command.

November 4, 2026

I rarely talk about what January 6 cost me and my family. The friendships, the threats, the party I once called home. But today, I feel something I haven't felt in years. Vindication. We refused to bow to Trump. We paid a price. And last night, America roared back. This one's personal.

Ja, och det lär inte vara SVENSKAR med HELSVENSKA föräldrar som står för detta tragiska nya fenomen... Varför kan man inte bara vara ärlig och erkänna detta!😡

"Putin can end this war in five minutes by making one phone call to his defense minister.: ‘Get the hell out of Ukraine,’ and then the war is over." - Sikorski 🇵🇱 ............ conside and clear...🤷‍♀️🫡

Lies are not "free speech". LIES have the power to start fucking wars! Just look at ruzzia´s invasion of Ukraine!😠

- Garry Kasparov: "I have been writing that failure to stop Putin’s aggression will have consequences, not just for the duration of the conflict, but for decades succeeding it. Putin has been testing Western institutions and building his capacity to launch a frontal assault on its values. And the costs of stopping him have only increased with each missed opportunity. The world is running out of time to avoid the worst possible outcome of this conflict – a war that engulfs all of Europe, and threatens the future of democracy both on the Continent and globally.” ........... Wake up, leaders!!

Well, Trump has not made our situation easier when it comes to ruzzia, that´s for sure... But yes, you are right. But this also means that we will invest in our own defence industry and our own high tech industry (wich will include AI and data). In other words: you will no longer be able to sell your equipment and your services to Europe as much as you have done before. We will never be DEPENDENT on you again and to be blunt with you, this means that you will LOSE LOTS OF MONEY and be a MUCH POORER country within just a few years from now...
