How bad can it get? From 1929 to 2025, markets have taken some wild dives. This chart shows how fast they fell, how far they dropped, and how long recovery took. The 2025 Trump Tariff Crash? Still unfolding.

Who trades with whom? Here’s a snapshot of global export dependencies in 2023–2024. The EU mostly trades within itself, while Mexico and Canada rely heavily on the US market. Interesting patterns in a shifting world economy.

The Mannerheim and Salpa Lines proved fortified defenses, natural barriers, and a deep defense network that can halt superior forces. Bunkers, minefields, anti-tank obstacles created strongholds, showing that smart defenses, not size, secure nations. These lessons remain crucial today. #ReArmEurope

The Suwałki Gap is NATO’s frontline - securing it is vital to protecting the Baltics and European stability. We must act now: strengthen defenses, boost troop presence, and enhance rapid response. A strong Suwałki Gap means a strong NATO - ready, united, and unwavering. #ReArmEurope

To secure independence and counter Russian aggression, #ReArmEurope must prioritize air and missile defense, long-range strike, intelligence, logistics, cyber resilience, naval power, industrial mobilization, nuclear deterrence - building on strong economies, advanced technology and capable forces.

Today I have left X in favour of Bluesky. That's one small step for mankind, one giant leap for me. #SelfReliance #StrongEurope

Europe must become independent from Russian oil and gas. Every purchase undermines the support given to Ukraine. Some countries even have negative net contributions. #IndependentEurope #SupportUkraine

Swedish alternatives #ReArmEurope

Europe must secure military, technological, and economic sovereignty. The US, swayed by the Kremlin, abandons allies, weaponizes technology, and seeks to pillage Ukraine. A resolute European course is imperativ - dependence is a relic of the past. #SelfReliance #StrongEurope #ReformNATO

Choosing European means embracing self-reliance, strengthening our continent, and making a moral stand. It is a declaration of sovereignty - ensuring our future is shaped by our own hands, not dictated by distant powers. #BuyEuropean #SelfReliance #StrongEurope

Deploying $321B with characteristic foresight, Buffett anchors himself in Japan’s trading houses - stable, undervalued, and built for endurance. As the US drifts from longstanding allies, he sidesteps Western turbulence and China’s uncertainties. www.reuters.com/business/ber...

Carl XVI Gustaf’s motto, ”For Sweden – with the times”, a call to duty - for Crown and people alike. A nation must honor its past, stand firm in the present, meet the future head-on. Strength, resolve, foresight - Sweden endures, not by chance, but by choice. (Photo: A. Daflos)

A great shadow falls over the world. The US, once the champion of liberty, now bends to Moscow’s will. Democracy is in peril. The very institutions that upheld freedom are being dismantled, and those who dare dissent - officers, officials, citizens alike -find themselves persecuted.

Moscow masters influence operations with a long-term strategy. In the 1960s, it fueled the left, Vietnam protests, and anti-nuclear activism. Today, the focus is on strengthening right-wing populism, shaping global discourse with strategic precision. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

I am divesting from US investments and advancing independence from American technology. The US is proving an uncertain partner for Europe, with troubling signs of alignment with Russia. Our future lies in a strong, self-reliant West - free from the whims of unreliable allies.
