SVT learns: Sweden sends ten Stridsbåt 90
Sweden will send a total of ten Stridsbåt 90, twenty patrol boats, and underwater weapons to Ukraine, SVT News learns. The decision, part of the 7.1 billion military support package to the country, will be presented by the government during the day.
Sweden will also deliver, among other things, artillery ammunition worth two billion kronor, a number of Robot 70 systems, anti-tank missiles, grenade launchers, hand grenades, and medical transport vehicles.
A press conference with the defense minister is scheduled for 08:30. SVT News will broadcast live.
Good support! I hope it helps some, and I hope next time it will be Gripen
If just Fat-Orban lets us into Nato i see it happening.
Sweden unveils record military- and aid package for Ukraine.
Defence secretary is quoted saying
*”It is about values and interests that are important to Sweden and Sweden’s interests”*.
And them via air directly to skip the traitorous polish farmers ☹️ I guess it is time to start learning how to shoot people as we are on of the next ones after Ukraine.
Lots of maritime stuff
Thanks, Sweden.
Paradoxically, but Ukrainian war helped to many European countries to better understand themselves. Not to mention overall European rise of cohesion by mass-remembering about pan-European values. Or, more precisely, about risks of their absence.
Before the war, Sweden wanted to become some regional, or even World’s, humanitarian leader, moral authority.
But morality not some theoretical abstraction as almost all other cultural aspects, it’s also part of biological empathic apparatus. Real thing that exists for real things.
So when Sweden begun to move away from practical empathic morality to theoretical, institutional/bureaucratic one, it also started to move away from achievement of own goals. To somewhere where now Austria and Switzerland.
Ukrainian war, smell of barbarism and fanaticism ammonia, brought Sweden, as and almost everyone else, back to Earth. Where… Moral/ethical problems still the same as they were always – foremost results of rudimentary instinctiveness, ignorance-stupidity. That self-evident.
But what not self-evident – recent evolution of answers to these problems.
Richard Feynman once said that “If you can’t explain something to a first year student (or child), then you haven’t really understood.”
In theory, to achieve some humanitarian leader status, Sweden should be able to explain to the poorest countries in the World how exactly, not theoretically, but practically, they could achieve the Swedish standards of living. That not really too much difficult:
1. Sociocultural evolution – heir of biological one. Ideas/memes as like animals, and after countless iterations of “survive the fittest” was created ecosystem with the most adaptive sociocultural species: Golden Rule of Morality, Rationalism, Humanism (/Rational Humanism), Secularism, Rule of Law, Democracy, Freedoms, foremost – Freedom of Speech (information transaction costs) and so on.
2. To understand and start using (via more long-term and more Win/Win social strategies) of which needed understanding of complex abstractions and rational thinking that could be achieved by Academic Logic. And basic understanding of human nature (oneself in others and others in oneself) that could be achieved by knowledge of Cognitive Distortions, Logical Fallacies, Defense Mechanisms.
3. To understand of which needed…
And there, until recently, was a huge problem. How to get people to study something that has no practical application and immediate benefits?
The answer to which recently given modern technologies.
If people could use smartphones and Wikipedia to read information about Academic Logic, Logical Fallacies, Defense Mechanisms, or even something else (as base Anthropology, Psychology, Sociology, IMDB-250 as universal base of social strategies and information for training of emotional intelligence), then why overcomplicate more?
If such knowledge could be tested by voluntary tests created and checked by Open Source, why overcomplicate more?
If the main motivator for passing of such tests could be just peanut money from government or philanthropists, why overcomplicate more?
With such approach, a huge number of problems that previously were unsolvable due to organizational reasons now reduced to just question of money availability. That also not a problem, because rise of social Human Capital create money, and sometimes even markets, by itself.
