Sensing a narrative by some that bi- or trilateral agreements or EU article 42.7 (solidarity clause) could become substitutes for full NATO membership. Be under no illusion, they increase security for the time being, but are under no circumstances a longterm solution. 1/2

Whilst I am an avid Transatlanticist and a supporter of close FIN-US cooperation, our security must under no circumstances be dependent on the outcome of US midterm or Presidential elections. Bilateral relations are important. Multilateral engagement is security. 2/2

It would be an odd conclusion indeed to draw from the current war and crisis that EU Mutual defence is a substitute for that of NATO. Most sensible observers have concluded the opposite. EU has many big roles to play- but not in defence

How can we have internationally coordinated economic sanctions on a very large scale without equally internationally coordinated measures to stabilize global food, energy and commodity markets? Asking for the world.

No women yet to be seen anywhere in negotiations or diplomatic delegations discussing the war in Ukraine. Facts: women make up half of the population. Women fight and resist. Women suffer and die. Women take care of children and the elderly.Women love their country as much as men

Ett av flera tecken på att #Sverige är en mycket fragmenterad välfärdsstat. Många många år av ändringar som skulle effektivisera vården resulterar i slutkörd personal, bristande vård och lite - om ingen - pasientsäkerhet. För vem/vilka fungerar denna #välfärdsstat? #svpol

«How could it be controversial to want peace?” Gary Lineker, smeared for condemning #IDF abuse of 🇵🇸 children in 2017 AND now for calling for an end to the genocide of 🇵🇸in 2024. What is wrong with the world? Thanks for speaking out 🕊️ independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Today we learned that the Spanish Government lied again and sent weapons to Israel in December. Stop buying and selling weapons to Israel, stop making us accomplices to genocide.
