Jan Björklund: Propaganda och bristande kunskap i förening…

Vicestatsminister och utbildningsminister Jan Björklund är medförfattare till en Brännpunkt-artikel 7 augusti som argumenterar för att Sverige bör bli NATO-medlem. Artikeln är inkompetent och vilseledande av följande skäl: 1) Ukraine som huvudargument vittnar om bristande kunskap om nuläget – Ukraine-krisen startades av NATO/USA och EU, inte av Ryssland. 2) Man kan bara undra varför demokratierna har så unikt höga militärutgifter om de bygger på dialog som … Continue reading Jan Björklund: Propaganda och bristande kunskap i förening…

Wow, Hillary Clinton as moral philosopher

Responsibility for wars and killing A number of Western/NATO politicians – Hillary Clinton foremost among them – and media people have recently introduced a new ethical principle in international affairs: When A delivers weapons to B, A is responsible for what B does with these weapons. The former Secretary of State and perhaps future U.S. President presents this new ethical principle here on CNN. This … Continue reading Wow, Hillary Clinton as moral philosopher
