Orbán har gjort det enda riktiga – men naturligtvis vill Sverige att han avsätts

🇺🇸 🇪🇺 🇸🇪 Enligt SVT idag vill fd statsminister Magdalena Andersson (S) att Ungerns statsminister Viktor Orbán avsätts som EU-ordförande. Jag skulle tro att Olof Palme hade sett det som avgörande viktigt att tala med alla sidor och därför hade gjort en liknande resa som Orbán. Med sitt briljanta intellekt hade han omedelbart gjort bedömningen att det är fråga om en NATO-Ryssland konflikt som spelas … Continue reading Orbán har gjort det enda riktiga – men naturligtvis vill Sverige att han avsätts

Some weeks ago, a young lady from Swedish Television, SVT, called me. She said that SVT had understood that I had critical views of NATO and Sweden’s membership in the alliance (!) and was now calling around to get some critical voices and sound out possibilities of doing an interview. So, would I give her my main arguments?
