I guess some people just don't know what a "border" is

Guy is Russian so you'd think he has some first-hand knowledge of actual borders... maybe he thought all of EU is completely 100% borderless inside? :shrug:

To be fair, it can be difficult to even notice a border at some places in the nordic countries. In border cities like Tornio for example there isn't even a booth there anymore. I honestly wouldn't know what to do if I had something to declare, you probably just drive the stuff wherever you want and then fill the paperwork yourself online.

^ but yeah the guy fought for Wanger, he isn't the brightest bulb in IKEA.

Funny that, this just popped up here:

Propagandan: ”Såg hatet i svenska personalens ögon”
Propaganda: “saw hate in the Swedish staffs eyes”
https://www.aftonbladet.se/a/XbE9gm

(Mostly google translate, I’m lazy American pig dog imperialist)

quote:


Children are not allowed to speak Russian in Swedish preschools, according to Russian television.
Therefore, a Russian-speaking family was forced to flee Sweden, according to claims.
“I saw in the preschool teacher's eyes how much she hated Russian,” said Inita Leisavniece.

In several reports on the state-run Russian television channel Rossija-1, a Latvian family claims that they were forced to flee Sweden to Russia because their children spoke Russian in preschool.

Three false news stories about the family of three have recently been broadcast on the state-run Russian television channel Rossiya-1. The goal is obvious: for the Russian viewers to believe that the Swedes hate Russian and that Sweden is Russophobic. (TW NOTE: I only changed “fake” to “false” as that’s a more accurate term, the rest, all Aftonbladet)

With a serious look, various news anchors have told about the family who "literally were forced to flee Sweden".

In the TV report, it states that Inita Leisavniece, 27, and Rolands Gailitis, 45, lived in Sweden for ten years, where their three sons were born and grew up. But when the children spoke Russian in preschool, problems arose:
“The staff said that Russian is illegal, the children are not allowed to speak it. I saw in the preschool teacher's eyes how much she hated Russian,” says mother Inita.

At the end of January, a Swedish court would decide on the children's future, according to their father, Roland. “They said straight out that we will take the children from you and give them to another family,” he says. Then mother Inita states that she couldn't sleep or eat, and that she lost ten kilos in a week.

They decided to leave. But not to the old homeland of Latvia, "because EU laws apply there too", but to Russia. Both parents express their great gratitude at how well they have been received by the Russians.

In the TV spots, both father Roland and mother Inita speak Russian. But the children don't say a word in Russian, states the exiled Russian newspaper The Insider.

Aftonbladet has found a judgment regarding the family's children in a Swedish administrative court. The decision handed down at the end of January was that the three children should be taken into care. The reason given is not because the children speak Russian.

Nevertheless, presenter Jekaterina Andrejeva says in the news program Vremja on March 29 that "in Sweden, they think that the courts can take Russian-speaking children and give them to an unknown person" and then continuing,
“A family originally from Latvia decided that they did not want to be part of such lawlessness. That's why they fled the EU,” says Andrejeva.

In another feature with the Latvian family, it is claimed that it has become increasingly common for Russian-speaking parents to be deprived of their children in various countries in the EU area, just because the children speak Russian.

During the Vesti news program on February 12, the presenter states, “Many of our compatriots live and work in Europe. They are increasingly exposed to open Russophobia. Old Europe that claims to be so tolerant has reached a new bottom. In Sweden, a family was literally forced to flee the country. Without visas or documents, they miraculously managed to get to the border and reach Russia.”

Now, this isn’t to say that the Nordics don’t have a history of forced assimilation: they do. To this Latvian family? I’m a tich skeptical.

Förvaltningsrättens decision to take the kids was based on the parents' addiction and inability to care for the kids. It's worth mentioning that many kids get to stay with parents suffering from addiction and in most cases social services prefer to provide support to help the parents care for kids. It takes a lot for kids to be taken from their parents here.

Oh WOW how did I not see that! yeah holy poo poo if you get your kids yoinked from that, you’re really loving up.

This is a sad situation that is being spun for propaganda and we should remember that at the end of the spin there is a real family with real trauma, and I think we can all find a place for sympathy for parent and child in situations such as the one that seems to have developed here.

The kid was going to be taken away by the Court according to the article, and from what posters have said here about what it takes for the courts to step in and remove a child something heinous likely happened, and the kid would be better off without the parent that fled with the child that was going to be taken from them back to a country where the kid will have a much lower standard of living. I feel bad for the child here; that parent seems to have been quite lovely. The article also stated that the parent went to Russia because it's not in the EU like Latvia and EU law wouldn't apply there :thunk:

I admittedly have far less sympathy for the parents but far loving more for the kids.

E: also, if someone has their kid taken away here, you egregiously hosed up. They really don’t like splitting up families.

That's nice. Now try liberating Chasiv Yar, Konstantynivka, and Ivanivske nearby and tell everyone how many months that's going to take. Average it out for a month for each village, and maybe the Russians might be able to reach Sloviansk and Kramatorsk in a few years.

This legitimately seems to be the plan for the Russians. Keep inching forward until the West gets bored and stops supporting Ukraine.

Just as a reminder, terrorist Girkin said that without any massive source of external help, such as China, Russia has just enough resources to prosecute their unjust war for a year, a year and a half at best if they scrape up every working rustheap they have left from their armories. By then, Russia will find itself "naked and helpless" to do anything against the AFU, in his own words.
