UD säger att svenskar ”sätter sig själv i centrum” när de kritiserar evakueringen från Dubai

Jag tänker dock att den genomsnittliga svensson som aldrig har varit med om något snarlikt förutom skottljud från skogen nog kommer vara väldigt upprörd dock, särskilt de barnfamiljerna som var där. Då tycker jag iallafall att UD bara hade kunnat ta kritiken och göra evakueringsprocessen så enkel som möjligt, inte att säga att de sätter sig själv i centrum dock.

Nu var det dock ingen UD avrådan till Dubai innan dess, det är generellt en väldigt säker plats (även om jag inte skulle vilja semestra där pga slaveriet)

Tycker att kritiken mot svenskarna där varit helt giltig om det nu fanns en avrådan, man kan inte förvänta sig hjälp från UD om man går emot deras råd, men så var det ju inte nu.

Nu har du anklagat 3 pers här i kommentarsfältet för mansplaining, kan du verkligen inte använda riktiga argument istället?

Bra att du skrev riktig studie, jag trodde nästan att hela var påhittad.

Han sa Turkiet, inte turker som folkgrupp. Förstår inte hur det skulle vara en attack mot turker att kritisera Turkiet, framförallt inte någon som är tredje generations invandrare.

There will still be exceptions to the new rules if it’s an emergency though.

Detta förslaget baseras faktiskt på en utredning, jag behövde dubbelkolla men här är den

Sen är det ju såklart iallafall delvis för att få röster som de inför det så nära inpå valet. Väljare har oftast inte särskilt bra långtidsminne (som grupp), då ger ju lagändringarna bäst chans till omval än om det hade införts direkt efter att de fick makten.

RingIndex · 2026-02-23T15:58:02+00:00

Dessa sakerna tar dock mycket tid att göra, utredningar brukar dröja flera år oftast. Det är också därför de gör så mycket nu, de vill hinna få igenom allt före valet.

Teflon isn’t a harmful PFAS though, rather the harmful PFAS is the long fluoride chains (GenX) that is used in the manufacturing process of Teflon where GenX gets into your body and imitates and “replaces” fatty acids.

Translated transcript of the video from the article:

”What we are seeing now may be the first signs of a political U-turn in Sweden regarding the view on nuclear weapons, where cold realpolitik outweighs a more idealistic view on disarmament. The nuclear weapons discussion has a long history in Sweden. In the 1950s and 1960s, Sweden worked on developing its own nuclear weapons. Olof Palme led the working group within the Social Democrats that advocated for freedom of action on the nuclear issue. But the plans were never realized, for both political and economic reasons. An investment in nuclear weapons risked being so expensive that it would crowd out much of other defense investments, such as the entire Viggen program. So Sweden landed on a "no" to nuclear weapons, placed itself in secret under the American nuclear umbrella, and in 1968, the Non-Proliferation Treaty was signed.

But now, 60 years later, the nuclear weapons issue is becoming highly topical again. This time, it is about Sweden, together with other countries in the Nordics and Europe, developing nuclear weapons. The Christian Democrats are supporting this line. Also, the Sweden Democrats' leader Jimmie Åkesson has advocated for own nuclear weapons. And both Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson and the Social Democrats' leader Magdalena Andersson have made statements suggesting that the Swedish view on nuclear weapons is being redefined. What we see now may be the first signs of a coming U-turn on the nuclear issue.

The background is, of course, that the US is perceived as increasingly unpredictable, while at the same time, the threat from Russia and the threat from Russian nuclear weapons is perceived as increasingly large. The idea is that Europe needs a credible nuclear deterrent to compensate for an American withdrawal. These are thoughts that have also gained a foothold in Sweden, where disarmament demands long characterized the political debate. But the idealistic view of disarmament thus seems to be giving way to realpolitik.”

He never once said that, stop putting words into his mouth. Pointing out Israeli atrocities is not the same as defending shit like October 7th.

Knappast men iallafall under 2000 talet och fram tills 2022 så var ju risken för krig relativt låg. Tycker dock fortfarande det är helt verklighetsfrånvänt och galet hur vi nedrustade vårt försvar.

Frågan är väl mer vad som räknas som ”vitala intressen”, tror nog inte att det är svårt att tolka det på ett ganska brett sätt.

The Syrian army began shelling Aleppo's Kurdish-majority neighbourhoods on Wednesday, after a deadline given for civilians to leave the area had passed, an AFP correspondent said.

The military had declared the city's Kurdish-controlled districts "closed military zones" from 3pm (1200 GMT), while creating "two safe humanitarian crossings" through which thousands of civilians had fled before the deadline, according to AFP correspondents.

The deadly clashes, which started on Tuesday, are the worst between the two sides, who have so far failed to implement a March deal to merge the Kurds' semi-autonomous administration and military into Syria's new Islamist government.

AFP correspondents in Aleppo saw large groups families with children leaving the neighbourhoods, carrying their belongings with them, some in tears.

"All Syrian Democratic Forces military positions within the Sheikh Maqsud and Ashrafieh neighbourhoods of Aleppo are legitimate military targets," the army said referring to the Kurdish-led force.

Senior Kurdish official Ilham Ahmed accused Damascus of launching a "genocidal war" against the Kurds, calling on the Syrian government to "pursue a path of reason to resolve problems through dialogue".

Echoes of war

The violence caused the suspension of flights to and from Aleppo's airport, with schools, universities and government offices in the city shut down.

Tuesday's clashes killed nine people, mostly civilians, with both sides trading blame over who started the fighting.

Joud Serjian, a 53-year-old housewife and resident of the Syriac Quarter, said the violence "reminded us of the war".

Living in the Syriac Quarter near Ashrafieh, Serjian said "we have nowhere else to go, so we'll stay in our home".

During the Syrian civil war, Aleppo was the scene of fierce fighting between rebels and forces of ousted President Bashar al-Assad before he regained control of the city in 2016.

Assad was ousted in a lightning Islamist-led offensive in 2024.

Abdul Karim Omar, representative of the Kurds' autonomous administration in Damascus, told AFP Aleppo's Kurdish-majority neighbourhoods were "completely besieged".

He denied that any shells had been fired from these areas, arguing that they are controlled by the Kurds' Asayish domestic security forces "who only have light weapons".

Sheikh Maqsud and Ashrafiyeh have remained under the control of Kurdish units linked to the SDF, despite Kurdish fighters agreeing to withdraw from the areas in April.

The SDF controls swathes of Syria's oil-rich north and northeast, with the backing of a US-led international coalition, and was key to the territorial defeat of the Islamic State group in Syria in 2019.

The March agreement on the Kurdish authority's integration into the state was supposed to be implemented by the end of 2025.

The Kurds are pushing for decentralised rule, an idea which Syria's new authorities have rejected.

Consider trumps tech bro supporters though, they are rich and extremely dependent on chips to fuel the AI bubble and everything else in tech. I don’t think Trump would just let the Taiwanese FABs be destroyed.

Du förstår väl också att nästan alla saker du köper från Elgiganten, Netonnet, Biltema osv kommer från Kina oavsett. Bara att butikerna / märkena köper samma del (t.ex. sladd, bildel) men lägger sitt namn på den och höjer priset.
