Build emergency stocks with Finland? How can we trust the Finns to keep that agreement then? No thanks!
Joakim Johansson
Hi Joakim! Do you think about the fact that they are considering joining NATO despite Sweden’s application being bogged down? After all, they are considered to be very good at emergency storage compared to us, so it could probably still benefit Sweden with a collaboration.
We have been on a trip to Poland and have stocked up on cheap food and drink! Cheese, cold cuts, bread, beer, etc. are a third of the price in Sweden! Including travel and an overnight stay, what we bought is clearly cheaper than in Sweden. Will be booking a new trip in a few months and then the neighbors will join too. There is a lot of money to be made, so give it a try!
Catherine
Hi Katarina! It sounds incredible that you can travel so far and still make a profit from it!
Are Sweden’s aid efforts in Turkey noted by the Turkish government? And that Sweden’s biggest entertainment program collects money for the second week in a row?
Catherine
Hi Katerina! I think they have a very good grasp of what Sweden is doing and what is happening here. How it affects our relationship with Turkey or our NATO application is impossible to answer, but the relationship will hardly get any worse in any case. And above all, our money helps all the people affected by the earthquake disaster.
Hello! I wonder how Sweden’s government views the matter if Finland joins NATO itself, without Sweden. Personally, I think that Finland should join as soon as possible regardless of how Sweden is doing, mainly because Finland is much worse on the map than we are.
Jorgen
We have been looking for Prime Minister Kristersson and Foreign Minister Billström all evening to get an answer to that.
They have chosen not to return.
How many have died in Turkey and Syria respectively regarding the earthquake.
