COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) – The Swedish government said Wednesday that it will donate 13 billion kronor ($1.23 billion) in military aid to Ukraine, in the largest package of assistance Sweden has so far donated.

“It consists of equipment that is at the top of Ukraine’s priority list,” Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch said. It includes air defense, artillery ammunition and armored vehicles.

Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonsson reiterated that the country has ruled out for now sending any Swedish-built JAS 39 Gripen jets to Ukraine, saying the focus on the Ukrainian side is on implementing a F-16 fighter jet program.

lol....

From the article in my previous comment:

“In Mali, for instance, Wagner allied with a military regime that toppled an elected civilian government in 2020. Russian soldiers and arms arrived, replacing French forces in a country whose historical, cultural and military ties to France go back to the colonial era. In neighboring Burkina Faso, another former French colony, Wagner arrived after a military coup in 2022 that toppled another civilian government. “

Even in its heyday in the 1950s, manufacturing was less than 30% of the total U.S. economy and a bit over 30% of employment. Over the next half-century, its share declined considerably. Still, the level of output continued to grow and the U.S. remains the world’s third-largest manufacturing entity (behind only China and the European Union).

Russia almost produces the same amount of steel as the U.S. with 1/3 the population. China produces 8 times the steel that the U.S. does. With our anemic industrial output how are we supposed to compete I the building of munitions? A nation with a services-based economy ruled by raging marxist perverts is not a superpower.

America has HUGE potential, don’t be so depressed.

America turned into a net oil exporter under Trump, breaking almost 75 years of continued dependence on foreign oil and marking a pivotal toward what U.S. President Donald Trump has branded as “energy independence.”

The shift to net exports is the dramatic result of an unprecedented boom in American oil production, with thousands of wells pumping from the Permian region of Texas and New Mexico to the Bakken in North Dakota to the Marcellus in Pennsylvania.

The Russian Kremlin mafia has indeed succeeded to expel France and America from Niger. They corrupted the leader of Niger. Nigerians will be sorry for their utter stupidity in the long run, when they’ll discover that Russia is only plundering their country. Colonialism is back in Africa, it’s done by neo-soviet Russia, and Communist China. Both these countries are allies by the way...
