"Uppge" is tricky because normally the way the word is used today, it means to give information, but in this case it's a way of throwing around the verb phrase "ge upp" (lit. 'give up', mentioned further d

I'm Swedish and I've always loved this phrase. It's short and concise, and it stirs something inside you even if you're mostly devoid of nationalistic tendencies. The continuation of the phrase mentioned later in the sam

The entire Internet is available via Tor but only via exit nodes, saying that it "doesn't make it any more available" to offer it directly within Tor shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how Tor works. If you can acce

You haven't heard about Sweden being neutral for 200 years?

The logic is that attacking a country that attempts to join a defensive alliance (Ukraine) underlines the undeniable necessity of that alliance existing in the first place. There would not be a point in joining Nato if Russia was a paper ti

Even if you were correct, does it matter that your European country is not nuked when the rest of them are?

Is this a joke? What you're seeing in Ukraine is not an invasion?

There are many pros and cons, but from a Swedish perspective, one of the obvious "downsides" would be an end to the idea of Swedish neutrality, which has been a thing since the early 1800's. This may be a hard thing to relate
