Nej, alla vet väl att Rus betyder "Roslagen"? Eller? Allvarligt talat, den här intressanta artikeln är låst på en av mina enheter, men öppen på en annan?! Hoppas den är öppen på alla edra enheter...

Noterar att Aftonbladets artiklar om de jättehemska, ultra-konkreta (kärnvapen)hoten från Ryssland mot Sverige är låsta. Av vilket jag drar slutsatsen att ryssen inte kommer att attackera oss. Åtminstone inte denna vecka...
Trump anser att Ukraina inte bör attackera den ryska dieseln. Alltså bör Ukraina väldigt specifikt attackera just den ryska dieseln.
Jag har talat.
Moderaterna säger sig vara oroliga för Vänsterpartiet i en eventuell regering. De vill även säkerhetspröva ministrar.
För regeringens tjänstemän säkerhetsprövas ju redan. Eller hur? Det här blir bara dummare och dummare. You can take it from me, jag är inte världens största fan av Vänsterpartiets utrikespolitiska odyséer...
Varför säger Kristersson & Co "om detta är sant"? Vet inte regeringen om det faktiskt är det? LOL.

Varför är inte detta en större nyhet? Det verkar som att beslaget gjordes i Barentsburg (detta nämns dock inte i Yles artikel), som ryssarna med stor sannolikhet betraktar som sitt territorium. Och som de facto nog är det också.
Tänk om Svalbard blir Rysslands nästa måltavla...?
Sabine Hossenfelder debunks some new (alleged) evidence for UFOs (as in extraterrestrial craft). One piece deals with some Ukrainian scientists who claims to have discovered UFOs on the Moon (!), whereas the second video is about the ubiquitous Avi Loeb.
Hossenfelder belives the "warp drive" some scientists speculate about are indistinguishable from mundane meteorites. But ahem, what about the strange orbs discussed by Loeb? Interestingly, the US military actually tested some kind of infrared light at the same time, but claims that it *didn´t* cause the orbs. But surely that *is* the most likely explanation?
What is really going on here, I wonder? And who is psyopping who?
Det mest skrämmande är väl att det kommer "dubbla budskap" från Washington DC. Är Trump för eller mot Ryssland? Vad anser han om Ukraina, egentligen? Vem representerar CIA-chefen? Och så vidare.
Och varför lämnade Trump sin egen utrikesminister (Rubio) på det mångomtalade "decoy plane"? Rubio är Trumps nykonservativa / interventionistiska förkläde...
Det börjar kanske dra ihop sig till något slags slutkläm på den här historien. October surprise!
Har Trump någon lösning på detta? Han kanske vill byta namn på Sydkinesiska sjön till Lake America eller något sådant. Eller så tänker han stämma tidningarna som avslöjade detta...
| - Yes, Korea is here somewhere! Never heard of Oman... |
Marx said that world history always repeats itself twice: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce. Somebody has proposed burlesque as the third repetition. I´m not sure what stage Trump´s foreign policy has reached, but it´s certainly beyond farce at this point.
Trump recently said that he will declare the Strait of Hormuz American territory. A few days later some spokesman of the Trump administration dismissed the statement as a joke?! Then, the erratic president threatened to "bomb the shit" out of Oman.
Another jocular remark, I suppose?
But perhaps Trump can still do something properly tragic, since he decided to scale down US involvement in a joint military exercise with South Korea, citing the ROK´s refusal to back his increasingly quixotic adventure in the Gulf. Instead, he bragged about having good relations with North Korea! The same North Korea which may be in the process of sending tens of thousands of fresh troops to aid the Russians in Ukraine.
It will be interesting to see if Trump´s end will be a tragedy, a farce or even a burlesque. Maybe the Don could at least give us one more performance? For old times sake.
Putin says that the Russian Federation may seize EU-related ships operating under a flag of convenience, in response to EU actions against the Russian "shadow fleet". Well, at least he isn´t threatening to nuke us! Always something.
It would be ironic if the war in Ukraine would lead to the effective collapse of flags of convenience...

50,000 North Korean soldiers may be deployed in Russia soon, according to Ukrainian president Zelensky. Something tells me they´re not there on vacation! Their end destination may very well be Ukraine itself.
That Russia needs cannon fodder from *North Korea* does show that Putin´s war isn´t going entirely according to plan. On the other hand, nobody cares where the soldiers come from if the trick turns out to work...
Last time around, Russia and their original ally (then about 15,000 strong) did manage to take back control over the portions of the Kursk region which had been captured by Ukraine during a surprise offensive. However, this obviously wasn´t enough to defeat the Ukrainian military overall.
I assume this is another "trial balloon". And since the Korean People´s Army is supposedly two million men strong, Putin could potentially keep up the pressure for years. Assuming Kim Jong-un is interested, obviously.
We live in "interesting" times.

Senator Lindsey Graham has suddenly passed away. WTF. In Swedish media, Graham is described as a "Trump loyalist", but the truth is that he wasn´t *really* a Trump aficionado but a more regular Republican who supported the erratic POTUS for tactical reasons.
Graham´s role was to constantly push Trump in a more pro-Ukrainian direction, hence acting as a counterweight to the "isolationist" Vance and similar types. Graham was also extremely pro-Israeli, but on *that* score, the Donald didn´t need much pushing! It´s probably bad news that the senator passed away exactly when Trump is (at least seemingly) making a pro-Ukrainian gyration, for instance by letting them produce Patriot missiles. What if Trump changes his mind...?
It would be very good indeed if somebody on the other side could suddenly drop dead, too. Witkoff, for instance. Or what about Putin himself? One thing is certain: this shit (evidently) isn´t over yet.
Taylor Swift´s silence on the recent fall of Kostiantynivka is not a little damning, and given the extremely serious nature of the present geopolitical situation, entirely disqualifying!
Tar den här skiten aldrig slut? Fast observera att "Maniac Murder Cult" faktiskt kallas satanistisk i den andra artikeln! Måste dock säga att bevisen för en rysskoppling verkar ganska svaga.
Not sure if this is good news or bad news. Especially since Trump is currently negotiating America´s terms of surrender in the recent (phoney) war against Iran...
