Has any of the bloodthirsty political Nationalists in countries like Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania or Poland suggested that their country should become independent and leave any NATO or EU organizations, and if they have nukes hand them over to someone else to sidestep any nuclear escalation fears so they can enter the conflict with troops on the ground?

Another article from the Swedish public broadcaster SVT:

https://www.svt.se/kultur/grundlagsandring-vacker-oro-bland-journalister-utlandsspioneri-yttrandefrihetsgrundlagen posted:

The Constitutional Committee supports the criticized constitutional amendment

Updated November 16, 2022
Published November 10, 2022

The Constitution Committee supports the new constitutional amendment on foreign espionage, which makes it a criminal offense to provide information that could disturb Sweden's relationship with other states and organizations. Necessary some say, while others say it is a threat to freedom of expression.

- It does not belong in the Swedish constitution, says press freedom expert Nils Funcke.

According to the bill, foreign espionage becomes a crime of freedom of press and expression. The purpose is to strengthen the protection of secret information within international collaborations, for example with the UN or NATO. This means that it becomes punishable, among other things, to disclose information that "could harm Sweden's relationship with another state or an international organization".

Since the first investigation in 2016, the proposal has received extensive criticism. And at the same time that Constitutional Committee now stands behind the change in the law, ten representatives of the media industry believe that the change will have major consequences for journalists' scrutiny of Sweden's international collaborations.

Equipped with "release valve"
Mikael Ruotsi, lecturer in constitutional law at Uppsala University, has worked on preparing the bill in the Riksdag (Swedish Parliament). He says to DN (Dagens Nyheter, [The Daily News]) that it is unlikely that journalists and publicists will be accused of foreign espionage and emphasizes that already existing regulations regarding the disclosure of secret information rarely affects the media.

He adds, however, that he can understand the publicists' concern as it is difficult to know exactly what consequences the change in the law will have. But in order to protect certain publications, the proposal has been provided with a "release valve" which states that one will not be punished if the act is judged to be "justifiable".

- It is not in the usual espionage law, so in that sense this proposal is more generous, says Mikael Ruotsi.

"Limits freedom of expression"
Press freedom expert Nils Funcke believes, however, that the Riksdag does not state enough reasons for such a change in the law. According to him, the bill also limits freedom of expression and freedom of communication.

- Above all, this affects the inclination and safety of people who discover wrongdoing or something that should come up and out in the public, he tells The Culture News section of SVT.

He thinks it is good that the "release valve" exists, but that it is vague as it is up to the courts to decide what is "justifiable".

- The fact that such a provision needs to be inserted at all shows that the entire legislation does not belong in the Swedish constitution.

Ida Karkiainen ((S) Social Democrats), president of Constitutional Committee, defends the decision to stand behind the bill and points out that it is not aimed at journalistic activity.

- That is what the government tried to come up with when it comes to the justifiable intent. To really be clear that journalistic and investigative activities must be possible and must be allowed to exist and have protection, she tells the TT news agency.

The "release valve" is the vague wording of the law that means that it's up to the judge(s) to decide if it was "justifiable" or if you go to prison as a journalist.

You just need to redefine victory to something vague and spin the narrative to your domestic audience that operation gently caress up was a total smashing success victory achieved.

Ukraine is holding off WW3.

The plan was for Russia to flatten the Ukraine, roll up Georgia and Moldova, then start sending LGM into the Baltics. At the same time China could invade Taiwan and the US suddenly finds itself in a two front war trying to project power to opposite sides of the world at once. So we'd have all the powers with nukes bar NK, Pakistan, and India all fighting each other. Ukraine is not the end of Putin's larger, long-term plan to destroy Europe � and Germany, particularly, whose reluctance to push back on Russia may lead to its end, and the end of many other democracies, if Ukraine cannot hold out.

If my desire to give Ukraine all of the materiel it needs makes me a simp for the military-industrial complex then give me a loving Raytheon hat and Lockheed Martin jersey because I don't want that alternative.

freedom of the press in Sweden. A map from the Pentagon leak has now been withheld by the public broadcaster SVT because their lawyers fear they may run afoul of the new law that criminalizes journalism that can damage relations with other countries if they publish the map.

quote:

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/svt-stoppar-publicering-pa-grund-av-spionerilag

SVT (Swedish Public Television) stops publication due to espionage laws

For the first time, SVT has chosen to stop a publication with reference to the new law on foreign espionage.

Last autumn, the new law on foreign espionage was adopted, which means that it is a criminal offense to provide information that could damage Sweden's relationship with other states or organizations such as NATO, the UN and the EU.

And now, for the first time, SVT has stopped a publication with reference to the legislation, which the programme Medierna on the P1 radio channel was the first to report on. It is about map images from the Pentagon leak that would show vulnerabilities in the Ukrainian energy supply. SVT wanted to publish the images to explain what the leak was about.

But that will not be the case.

"After looking at that material together with the lawyers, their assessment was actually that this is material that could be covered by the new espionage law", says Charlotta Friborg, publisher in charge at SVT.

"Very worrying"

Already last year, publishers warned of what the law could mean for journalistic reviews.

"It risks creating huge uncertainties because it is so unclear" says Charlotta Friborg.

"I think it is very worrying that the legislators did not listen to this serious criticism."

You have it all turned around.

Of course this western MIC-adjacent community is going to play up the Russian threat — their salaries depend on it!

They're not going to go "Russia sucks, go home 'increase-the-defense-ailures". No. They're going to tell you that Russia is going to kick your rear end unless you give them and their friends more money.

They go on, and on about the glorious past when the western military was better funded. Some have even hinted at 40% of the GDP being allocated to the Navy alone.
