Ledarsidorna.se wrote that Peter Hultqvist's interview was an attempt to limit the damage and give the Social Democrats a more "hawkish" profile. The writer thought that several proposals in the interview were good: a permanent amphibious battalion in Gotland, re-establishing I 22 in Kiruna, and above all, building a third submarine of the A26 class. The writer claimed that larger combat vessels needed to be built in series of at least three to ensure redundancy, with two operational and one for training or maintenance. As support, the writer referred to his own experience of two years of service as ELF and LFO at PTK Gbg, the test command for Göteborg-class corvettes. Ledarsidorna.se expressed uncertainty about Magdalena Andersson's foreign and security policy stance and wrote that neighboring countries were not impressed by her latest statement, which the writer believed opened the door for reduced engagement on NATO's northern flank. The writer also believed that Pål Jonson should remain as defense minister and called him the best in the position in modern times. Compared to Hultqvist, the writer thought that Jonson had better knowledge of weapons and weapon systems. #svpol https://t.co/ihG7cqkWH5 #säkerhetspolitik #försvar #svenskpolitk (translated)

E wrote that the segment was about the assault on a young, lone female police officer during the riots in Paris. According to him, she had been kicked to the ground and received kicks to her face and body, while someone shouted that she should be killed. He stated that the two interviewed were police officers who were now politically active, and that he knew one of them. E argued that Matthieu Vallet clearly dismissed the description of the events as school protests and instead pointed out left-wing extremists belonging to LFI as well as hooligans and criminals. E agreed with Vallet's call to name things by their proper names and described the events as riots and serious threats to democracy. #Paris #Demokrati #Misshandel (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se questioned whether Magdalena Andersson was suitable as prime minister and government builder. The writer described their personal image of her as fundamentally positive but criticized her actions in security policy issues. The writer pointed out that Andersson had said in spring 2022 that Swedish NATO membership would destabilize the region before she reportedly changed her stance when Finland moved toward membership. Ledarsidorna.se also referred to an interview in Politico where Andersson allegedly wanted a future government to place greater importance on "the global south." The writer claimed that this aligned with Vladimir Putin's interests and highlighted Russia's actions towards the Baltic states. The post also mentioned that Morgan Johansson, according to Ledarsidorna.se, had stated that the Social Democrats wanted to pause an association agreement with the EU. The writer asserted that this would undermine Sweden's and NATO's northern flank defense capability, as Israeli Elbit Systems was the main supplier of communication systems to the Swedish and Finnish armies. Ledarsidorna.se also criticized that five Social Democratic members of the European Parliament had voted against a resolution to counter Islamist entryism in the EU. The writer claimed, referencing their sources, that the decision had been made by the Social Democrats' executive committee on Sveavägen 68. The post stated that Andersson and the committee had a different assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood than French and German intelligence and security services, without providing the basis for this. The writer concluded by asserting that there were good reasons to ask whether Andersson wanted what was best for Sweden and the Swedish people. #svpol #Sverige #politik #Socialdemokraterna (translated)

"This is a mistaken conclusion. If we were to stop supporting Ukraine, we would be even more vulnerable to Russian blackmail. Because then we would become what Russia is trying to make of us: a weak, extortion target." In an interview with the German Focus, he said: "This is a mistaken conclusion. If we were to stop supporting Ukraine, we would be even more vulnerable to Russian blackmail. Because then we would become what Russia is trying to make of us: a weak, extortion target." "Russia never responds to weakness. Weakness is not perceived as Russia's success, but as a condition for further progress." The key question is what conclusions Moscow draws from Germany's behavior: "Russia never responds to weakness. Weakness is not perceived as Russia's success, but as a condition for further progress." Moscow fails to push Merz out in the domestic arena – in fact, Russia is actively working towards that goal, says Masala. "The key is whether Moscow believes it can avoid (referring to the avoidance of invoking Article 5, ed.) because NATO will not reach an agreement," Masala added.
