What’s this about the quran burnings? Do I care?

Muqtada al-Sadr, the biggest Shiite leader in Iraq, is the guy behind the burning down of the Swedish embassy in Iraq.

Well, by all means, let’s see who will suffer the most from Sweden turning off all business, and diplomatic ties with Iraq! If Muqtada al-Sadr wants to play chicken race, then don’t let me hold you back, dude! I’ll fucking challenge you to a duel with pistols at dawn if I think it necessary! I kid you not!

The US don’t want this anger to manifest in violence against Swedish embassies and companies right now. They need a stable situation in the Middle East, for now.

Iran, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have summoned Sweden’s ambassadors in their respective countries in a protest against the quran burnings in Sweden. The US, the EU and the UK have condemned the physical attack on and burning of the Swedish embassy in Baghdad.

The Swedish news site SR;Ekot, reports in July 21, 2023, quote:

”There is no ban on Swedish companies in Iraq, those reports are not true, says Farhad Alaaldin, the Iraqi prime minister’s foreign affairs advisor, to Ekot, and refutes reports that previously circulated in the Swedish media.

It was the Iraqi Ministry of Communications that on Thursday announced on its Facebook page a ban on doing business with Swedish companies. That post has now been removed.” End quote

Farhad is a good advisor.

Possible shift in Biden’s grand strategic plans

Never assume that a world leader is good. I want to emphasize the importance that we should not be naive! Biden is thinking of the United States and Americans, when he conducts his politics. But if it does not affect the abilities for America or Americans to economically strengthen or at least maintain their leading position in the world, then of course he can throw a bone to a party outside of AUKUS and the border states of Canada and New Zealand, especially if Biden’s country benefits from it. Israel also has a key position, but I can’t really read out why the Israelis’ treatment of the Palestinians and the West Bank, plays such an important role in Biden’s and Blinken’s plans. However, you can read what Blinken said in black and white with the headline;  ”US warns Israel: Peace with Saudis getting ‘tougher, if not impossible’”; on the online medium World Israel News on July 5, 2023. Quote;

”We’ve told our friends and allies in Israel that if there’s a fire burning in their backyard, it’s going to be a lot tougher, if not impossible, to actually both deepen the existing agreements as well as to expand them to include potentially Saudi Arabia,” said Blinken.

He also said, quote;

“It’s also, at least in our judgment as Israel’s closest friend and ally, profoundly not in Israel’s interest for this to happen—both because of the added degree of difficulty that this presents for pursuing normalization agreements, or deepening them, but also because of the practical consequences,” he added. End quote

Why is it not marginal? As for the importance of the Abraham accords, I can understand why the US does not want it to develop between Israel and Saudi-Arabia right now. But it doesn’t seem like the haussed to the sky Israeli intelligence service Mossad really understands how the land lays or why it is so. They persist in opposing Biden’s plans. They have done so for a long time. Of course, the Israelis have an interest in the Middle East, but they should have fathomed that it is not in their interest that the United States fall to pieces by internal division, like once the Roman Empire did before them. We here in Sweden observe how the Israelis act more and more like their antagonists in Iran, Lebanon and Palestine. It’s just that Israel is more powerful than their enemies and they also have more powerful allies.

Have we considered that Israel is a special country? It is the land where Judaism, Islam and Christianity converge – in Jerusalem. In addition, there are elements of reincarnation in Judaism. We can think what we want about it, but the land of Israel is important to our own security. They are important to the whole of Europe’s security. The Israelis know this, why doesn’t the EU realize this? It is mindboggling to the Israelis. We cannot let them perish.

It seems as if we are needed all of a sudden. Saudi-Arabia may be the new enemy. But don’t listen too much when Biden says that, quote; ”We have always strongly supported Sweden to get Sweden into NATO” End quote. Empirical evidence shows the opposite. Not once has Biden commented on Erdogan’s tango dance with the Swedish government, but he has, under greatest possible silence, left us alone to cope as best we can in the recent past. It is clear who led in that tango dance, it wasn’t Ulf Kristersson in any case. (Spoiler alert, it was Erdogan.) But it can be differently now, Biden can show a ”good” side if he wants to. It’s just that, as an Irish-American, he doesn’t like us Swedes at all. But probably even an Irishman can like Swedes. But not him. Then I don’t like him, and I will turn away my gaze when he is led screaming and kicking to the guillotine by his countrymen. The reactionaries always win in the long run. For being the world’s most powerful man, he poorly realizes that Sweden has been one of the biggest guarantors that the US will remain the master of the world, by our support purchase of US security bonds and us consistently refraining from selling them when the dollar has been under attack. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what we’ve done for the United States. But ingratitude is the wages of the weak.

Now a question. Are the Swedes prepared to contribute with troops in a future American war in the Middle East, for example against Saudi-Arabia and, in the extension, China? Are the Swedes prepared for a two-front war? Then we should join NATO. Otherwise, we will probably have to fight Russia alone. But we will win against Russia, mind you. Personally, I do not want to join NATO, because I think it will create greater strain on us in the long run. One must not forget that we have a domestic, quote; ”situation”; to deal with, simultaneously. Of our two supposed choices, it is only an all-out Swedish war against Russia on Swedish soil that can straighten up our backbone and make, quote; ”our”; criminals listless, which means that in that case we can turn the tide in Sweden. Also remember that a Swedish NATO membership in no way provides any guarantees that we will be able to stay out of a war against Russia in the event of a major war. An American war against one or more actors is in the long run inevitable unless the Gulf states change their mind, because China gets most of the oil from the Persian Gulf oil states and the US has domestic oil for perhaps only 12 more years of consumption if you are to believe the CIA WORLD FACTBOOK 2023-2024 . I don’t think it’s possible to achieve, but if the US were to run its motor park and its many fossil fueled powerplants on domestic oil alone, that time would almost be halved to only six years of consumption. It has become more difficult to calculate precisely, because the CIA has deliberately made it so in the CIA WORLD FACTBOOK 2023-2024 compared to previous editions of the book. Maybe you can thank Me for that.

It is established in the CIA WORLD FACTBOOK that Saudi-Arabia, just like Iran, and every other oil producing country in the Persian Gulf, does more business with China than with the United States. Saudi-Arabia has literally extended a hand to Iran recently. They are suicidal. It’s clear as hell that it has the potential to overturn the US original game plan. But in that case, it’s not the tiles that are moved alternate, the whole boardgame is likely to change.

Say JAS to Ukrainian resistance!

We here in at least Northern Europe are experiencing another drought period this year. We do not yet know if it is going to be as bad, as was the drought in 2018. Let us hope not. But this is to me a clear indication that God isn’t thinking of Sweden right now, he is thinking of Ukraine. It is Ukraine who must benefit from the drought in northern Europe as God grants Ukraine a full house to gamble with!

I am thinking that although it isn’t a small thing to give Ukraine some JAS aircraft, both in terms of our security gamble and in terms of money. I know it isn’t optimal for Ukraine, because we are probably the only country who can or may want to chip in some JAS aircraft, of the few countries who do have the JAS system. We are a country of only ten million people. By the way, the abbreviation JAS comes from the three words Jakt-Attack-Spaning or in english Hunt-Attack-Reconnaissance.

We Swedes can give Ukraine, say, four aircraft of type JAS. It isn’t much to fight a war with, but it is a start. If we do this it might help Ukraine’s situation as it would put pressure on the NATO countries to give many more of another aircraft, the F-16 fighter, to Ukraine. And in the best of possible worlds we would in return get help with agricultural products like grain. That is the way it works. This is Ukraine’s time to shine, not ours, and that is the way it should be. If Ukraine can beg us for equipment and materiel, why shouldn’t we have to stand with cap in hand and beg Ukraine for grain?

Unfortunately our right wing state minister Ulf Kristersson probably is very stingy. He inherited the by Sweden promised materiel for Ukraine from the Social Democrats, and I really hope we gave it to them, but when was the last time you heard of anything new for Ukraine? He thinks that the Ukrainians have received enough materiel from us for a while. Ulf Kristersson, don’t be an ugly, ugly person in your core. Pay up!

But it may not be such a bad affair. Our JAS aircraft will probably score victories and therefore it will become a war tested aircraft. This could help us Swedes with sales of JAS to other nations. And it can boost our status internationally. God knows we need it. Don’t be so stingy, Kristersson! I promise, there is more to win by giving Ukraine four JAS aircraft than not to. It’ll be a win-win situation for both Ukraine and Sweden. But not for Russia.

It is a gamble, but I firmly believe in it. Do some good for once!

And finally I want to say – don’t forget Iceland. They have very little feed grain production of their own. The Icelandic are people too.

Chinese trawlers’ spoofing measures in African waters

I recently learned that the Chinese trawlers are taking measures to spoof GPS-satellites in African waters when they illegally are trawling for fish there, so that the GPS-system will give the wrong coordinates for their illegal fishing vessels at sea. What can we do about it?

One thing we can do is to institute a tribunal for preventing trawlers from overfishing. And we can trial Chinese and other non-African nations’ trawler captains for fishing at all in African waters.

Second, we can introduce a civilian corps of aviation, policing the waters outside of Africa. There is just the question of where these aircraft will take off from and land. It probably must be from an African nation somewhere. France can contribute there.

But we have to have some way of discerning and ascertain trawler identity. European trawlers could have an identity number on the roof top so that policing aircraft can identify the trawlers. This is just so to see that no European trawlers can fish anything at all in African waters. It is easy to control European trawlers from air, if they have a number on the roof top. The policing aircrafts can have a digital cartulary over all the registered trawlers image shapes and sizes. They can also map unknown trawlers.

One problem with this approach is that the tribunal will become teethless if there is no way of enforcing intervention on Chinese trawlers. But it is a good way of putting all the spotlight on China.

And the European illegal trawler captains will have no way to escape the law.

Evildoers

Jag tänker att de absurda terrorfinansanklagelserna, absurda därför att det inte finns några motiv, av USA mot bolaget Ericsson är uppenbart fabricerade av amerikanska staten. Jag tror inte att denna stämning kommer från gräsrötterna i amerikanska armén, men det ska se ut som att den gör det. Hela målet bygger på en fabrikation. Evildoers! Karma.

Jag tror att mina landsmän, de som har någonting att säga till om, vet om att det är fabricerade anklagelser. Det är förmodligen därför som Sverige nu hjälper Vietnam att identifiera vietnamesiska offer för amerikanernas krig i Vietnam, för att värja oss från Evildoernas illegala utpressning. Det blir åtminstone svårare för USA att klämma svenska Ericsson på pengar om de samtidigt själva riskerar att få punga ut med miljardtals dollar till Vietnamesiska veteraner och civila.
