SvenskaI am fascinated by time as part of my consciousness. That a year feels like a second. I am browsing through my photos from the past year. Trump’s trade tariffs have affected global trade and thus also our everyday lives. A major change is needed in Europe and we must rise up and strengthen ourselves towards the East and the West. I sincerely hope that Europe is not relegated to the waiting room when Trump negotiates with Russia and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. There must be a military-political balance for a stable peace. Intelligence services in various countries report that there is a risk of Russia attacking a NATO country within a few years. Which country?
My second destination this year after the USA was France. “We will never stop defending peace” I read in the French news. Now people have almost forgotten that the Nazis actually occupied Paris in the 1940s. Is it Vladimir Putin’s goal to write himself into history in the world’s books? I listen to the news, follow various analyses and try to understand what is happening.
It is now Christmas month December, and we are tired of wars that are far away but yet so palpably close. Christmas is here and I hope it will be a nice traditional weekend of recovery and Christmas peace. My thoughts are on 2026. I am working and getting technical help with this site. A little change is going on, and I am also looking forward to a trip to Kathmandu in the fall of 2026. In addition, I also wish that 2026 ends with more answers than questions.
