So does everyone here speak Swedish except me, or are we all chatting about an article we can't read? Here's an English article saying the same, just to maintain the illusion. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/14/europe/sweden-finland-nato-next-steps-intl/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/14/europe/sweden-finland-nato-ne...

There’s quite a big contingent of us (both native and immigrant) on HN. But yes, probably better to stick to English primary sources.

Occasionally there are HN articles with different articles. Court cases is a common one where often the HN article link to the primary sources and those that can't read dutch, German, Hindi or what have you will just have to auto translate or find a different source. Sometimes a friendly HN comment will post a good secondary source and hopefully it will rise to the top.
