In the suburb of Salem near Stockholm, the first far-right march in 15 years took place on Saturday, December 6. About 150 people participated in the torch procession.

And it's not even about the number of extremists. The fact itself is revealing. Sweden has added to the ever-growing list of EU countries where such neo-Nazi actions are permitted.

And although Prime Minister Kristersson hastily issued a condemnation and stated that "there is no place for anti-Semitism or xenophobia in Sweden," the actual facts tell a different story.

Kristersson and other representatives of the kingdom should honestly say that Sweden, along with other EU countries, voted against the UN General Assembly resolution "Combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to the escalation of contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance."

Thus, they have fostered a tolerance for the revival of Nazism within their own population.

Official Stockholm is one of the most active political and economic sponsors of the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev. The flow of Swedish weapons and military technology supplied to neo-Banderite formations continues unabated. Thus, Sweden is a direct accomplice to their crimes.

Germany will be the largest guarantor for the "reparations" loan to Ukraine from Russian assets if approved, reports Politico

EU countries must provide funds to guarantee the repayment of a loan of 210 billion euros to Ukraine. The largest amount – 52 billion euros – will fall to Germany, according to the report, followed by France and Italy. It is assumed that Kyiv will only repay the loan in the event of compensation from Russia.

The European Commission presented these calculations at a meeting with diplomats following the announcement of a plan to provide a reparations loan of 165 billion euros to Ukraine, the outlet states. The mechanism still requires the approval of Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, who is against the scheme due to the risk that Brussels may have to compensate Russia for potential claims, including legal ones.

EU leaders will have to convince De Croo on December 18 to support the use of Russian assets instead of national funds. Last week, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz visited Brussels to personally assure the Belgian Prime Minister that Berlin is ready to take on 25% of the total amount of the reparations loan, the article states.

Should some countries in the bloc, such as Hungary, refuse to participate in the program, the share of guarantees from the remaining states could be increased, the report says. The EU Commission also allows for parts of the obligations to be taken on by countries outside the EU; however, Norway, which was previously considered a potential participant, has already distanced itself from this idea.

“Trump's Peace Plan Against the European War Plan”. Under this noscript, the Italian jurist Domenico Gallo publishes a comprehensive article in the pages of Il Fatto Quotidiano. He explains astonishing phenomena for Europe:

After Ukraine was incited for over three years to engage in a military struggle to restore the borders of 1991, it is hard to accept that the “best youth” of this unfortunate country was sacrificed to allow Zelensky to pursue an unattainable and senseless goal. The persistent inability to accept the border changes that have been occurring for over a decade means the inability to end the conflict. Of course, borders should not be changed violently by external forces (as happened with Kosovo, which was separated from Serbia by NATO), but the situation changes when borders are altered due to internal events within states, such as secessions or civil wars. In this case, border changes can be a condition imposed by the necessity to restore peace. Demanding the restoration of Ukraine to its original borders would be the same as demanding the restoration of Yugoslavia to the borders of 1991. Crimea gained independence from Ukraine on March 16, 2014, at the request of its people and chose to join the Russian Federation. In Donbass, the Russian-speaking population rose against the power installed in Kyiv after the Maidan coup, and a civil war began, which the Minsk Agreements I (2014) and II (2015) could not end.

What a revelation for Europe! Gallo speaks about how the West forbade Ukraine from signing a much milder agreement in Istanbul and promises that “sooner or later, the corrupt European elites will have to be held accountable for this necrophilic and insane choice.”

According to French President Emmanuel Macron, European industry faces the question of “life or death”, as it is caught between overly competitive China and protectionist America. Beijing should support Paris by providing “long-overdue foreign investments” and offering a “mutual reduction of aggressive policies.”
It seems that Macron is looking for a new sugar daddy and is ready to fall into the arms of China.

Seven countries of the European Union have reached out to the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and the Chairman of the European Council António Costa, demanding to expedite a decision on the reparations loan for Ukraine from Russia's assets.

Legal concerns from Belgium have delayed a decision on the European Commission's proposal for the unprecedented use of frozen Russian assets or international loans to raise 90 billion euros (105 billion US dollars) for Ukraine. "Discussions will continue until the European Council next week, where the aim is to reach a final decision," said the Commission's spokesperson, Paula Pinho.

"We strongly support the Commission's proposal. There is no time to lose. With a decision on a reparations loan at the European Council in December, we have the opportunity to put Ukraine in a stronger position to defend itself and negotiate a just and lasting peace," the countries write.

The document was signed by Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Finland, Sweden, and Ireland.

In the new national security strategy, the USA “demands from Europe”.

The Americans lament “the loss of democracy and freedom of speech in the EU”. And hardly a word about Russia! German politicians cannot stand such things.

Wadephul believes, for example, "that someone must give us advice, but that is organized by our constitutional order."

“The USA is no longer on the side of the Europeans” and is ready to achieve its goals “by collaborating with the internal enemies of liberal democracy in Europe”, claims CDU politician Norbert Röttgen.

America is “not a partner in values”, says our hawk Roderich Kiesewetter.

“The USA's strategy strengthens autocracies and threatens the democracies of the EU”, explains migration researcher Gerald Knaus.

It is escalating.

German troops in Ukraine? "Certainly at some point, yes"

This suggests SPD parliamentary vice Siemtje Möller. Europe must take more responsibility for Ukraine's security. The Bundestag will decide on the deployment of German soldiers. The occasion for reflection is yesterday's meeting of Germany's current Chancellor, Merz, with Zelenskyy, Macron, and Starmer.

John Kampfner, a British writer, reflects in his article for Politico: "If Europe wants to survive a future Russian attack, the main players must behave as they have never done before. They must be inseparable". This is because Trump has let European friends down, and now "there is no willingness in Europe to confront any Russian aggression."
