Ryska utspel om Gripenaffären: ”Retar Ryssland till vansinne”
Nyheten om den potentiella Gripenaffären väcker starka reaktioner i Ryssland. Enligt Johan Huovinen kan det tolkas som att Sverige öppnar vägen för andra.

A shift is increasingly consolidating in European power dynamics: while it is necessary and welcome that the three big Western European countries – France, Germany and the UK – work more closely together again, it is not sufficient alone. Poland is increasingly part and parcel of that inner circle.
The Long Process of European Unity
Leadership in Europe today goes beyond the big three Western European countries - France, Germany and the UK. Poland is now an important power that cannot be ignored.

Det här är ett jätteviktigt debattinlägg. Sverige kommer att behöva en vårdkapacitet som överstiger svenska behov - civilister från Finland, Baltikum, kanske även Norge, och möjligtvis också sårade från frontlinjen skulle ju komma till Sverige som ligger lite mer skyddad i vår region.
”Sverige rustar men glömmer vården”
DEBATT. En försvarssatsning utan en samtidig satsning på vården är en ofullständig och farlig strategi. Vi måste investera i en sjukvård som är stark i både fred och kris, skriver överläkaren Daniel M...

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
It is rarely the actual rocket science stuff but instead nuts and bolts matters, keeping track of information, making people talk to each other or applying common sense that is the real challenge in developing fancy Anti Ship Missiles.

Swedish armed forces today opened a new division, 32nd Coastal Guided Missile Division, in Karlskrona, south Sweden.
The unit will be equipped with truck-mounted Robot 15 Mk3 launchers, a sea surface skimming missile with a range of 200 km, or, most of Baltic Sea depending on staging. Archive vid.

If you think that Europe is doomed, you’re not paying attention.
Wrote a recap of the latest developments and call me a hopeless Europtimist but I think Europe+ (including Canada) isn’t doing too bad in terms of offering Ukraine an actual perspective for the future. With or without the US.

Is Trump Making Europe Great Again?
In a world of zero-sum thinking, the EU's win-win logic can be a powerful tool.

Ukraine is engaged again in talks with Sweden to receive Gripen fighter jets.
Sweden had already begun training Ukrainian pilots in 2023 but things went silent for undisclosed reasons about a year ago. But in late 2024 Sweden funded delivery of about a squadron worth of planes.
