Simply amazing how this is happening and US media is focusing only on absolute nonsense. Now that Ellison and Weiss will control most of media, hard denial of climate crisis will be locked in.

Ser ut som om jag inte är den enda som hoppas att man faktiskt åtgärdar säkerheten, inte bara nöjer sig med att peka ut några skyldiga de gånger som olyckor uppstår.

The wreck of the sunken ferry “MS Estonia” in the Baltic Sea, which is a gravesite and off limits to divers, is now thought to be used by 🇷🇺Russia as a hiding place for undersea sensors, report WDR, NDR und SZ.
Eihän tämä hyvältä näytä. Belgia pelkää Venäjän kostoa etukäteen.

Pääministeri Petteri Orpon (kok.) mukaan EU-komissio kuitenkin ryhtyy valmistelemaan jäädytettyjen varojen hyödyntämistä Ukrainan tukemiseen:

Belgian vastustuksen takia kirjaus vesittyi. Uusi rahoitusmalli halutaan joulukuuksi.

COPENHAGEN — Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson today signed a letter of intent laying the groundwork for Kyiv to make a massive purchase of anywhere from 100 to 150 Gripen E fighter jets from Swedih Saab. breakingdefense.com/2025/10/ukra...
Ukraine moves to buy scores of Saab Gripen fighters from Sweden - Breaking Defense
"This is the beginning of a long journey, but it takes us one step closer to a major export deal for Saab and Sweden and Ukraine," the Swedish prime minister said.

Told Donald that if he wasn't on my side, he might be getting the credit for an American company selling these jets

For context on how big a sale this is for Sweden:

Ukraine will purchase about 1.5x the size of the entire Swedish Gripen fleet.

~95 Gripen currently in the 🇸🇪 Air Force:
60 New Swedish orders of Gripen E to phase out older C/D (just started being delivered).

120-150 Gripen E to Ukraine
Sweden will sell up to 150 JAS Gripen E to Ukraine! This is the newest model of the Saab Gripen.

This is not a donation of planes today, but a delivery over several years.

Bara som jämförelse: om Finland hade valt Gripen istället för F-35 hade det handlat om ca 60 plan, plus 2 st GlobalEye.

As expected, the annual Russian strategic nuclear forces exercise came today and was a rather modest affair.

The Northern Fleet Delta IV-class SSBN Bryansk, which finished a lengthy overhaul not too long ago, fired a SS-N-23, Yaars ICBM from Plesetsk and with LRA Tu-95s

Which circle of this are we in? 🤦‍♀️

🎪🧵Just watched the Trump/Zelensky presser & don't even know where to start.

Ok. First, the optics: having the Ukrainian delegation crammed between the table & a journalists' pack shows at best, zero, absolutely zero knowledge of hosting manners, at worst, a strong will to humiliate the guests.

Ensimmäiset vapaaehtoiset naiset aloittivat asepalveluksensa Suomessa 16. lokakuuta 1995, eli tasan 30 vuotta sitten.

Ja kuten tässä mainiossa artikkelissa mainitaan: Ilmavoimien kalustoon kuuluivat tuolloin vielä Saabin Draken-hävittäjät 😎

Trump has fallen for it again.
The U.S. President, accepts a few compliments from a mass murdering dictator, then gets talked into another "summit" in a less than neutral venue.

Un-be-lievable. Except it isn't, is it?
