The United States is now not only pro-Russia, it is also taking a stand against Europe, and has a clear objective to meddle in European affairs. The U.S. will support European patriotic parties (pro-Russia fascists). The U.S. with its current regime is an enemy of a free Europe.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Mats Persson (L) vill upprätta en lista på personer som ska förvägras inresetillstånd till Sverige för att de sprider hat och propaganda. Det är ett modigt förslag, att på så sätt stänga dörren för USA:s president. #Trump www.svd.se/a/AvWRWM/lib...

I think Anne Applebaum is right: the greatest threats to our societies does not come from the left or the right, but from the anti-intellectual conspirationists.
Forget the division of Left and Right. We are entering the age of the New Obscurantism: politics fused with magical solutions, superstition, an aura of spirituality and the cultivation of fear

What can Europe expect after the transfer of power in the US? Maybe a new Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, where Trump and Putin agree not to attack each other (at least not now) - and behind closed doors divide the continent between them?

Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. And the whole idea was that this time he had a plan.
