Except no one thinks Mexico is only sending drug dealers and rapists there Hagfors Hannah...
Hagfors...?
Hannah...?
OOPS sorry, sometimes I feel like I'm dealing with a modern Swedish version of Hanoi Hannah...
Just trying to defend the central tenets of western democracy, that are now under attack by a builder/casino owner with mob ties who has been anointed US emperor by Putin.
He opposes freedom of press, disrespects the judiciary branch of government, scoffs at due process and would like the US public to be as subservient to him as the North Koreans are to Kim Jong Un.
He does not respect agreements signed by the USA. He does not respect international law. He does not respect the American constitution. He threatens the traditional allies of the USA and expresses sympathy for dictators.
He is single handedly demolishing the world order the USA has spent a lot of blood, sweat and tears building since WW2 through wars, diplomacy, negotiations, trade and aid. A world order that has been built by creating international organisations, treaties and laws. Organisations, treaties and laws that he now disregards. He is pissing on the legacy of his predecessors.
And by creating a trade war between the USA and Europe, Canada et al he is weakening the entire Western World, while simultanously strengthening the hand of Putin.
I mean, supposing that he actually is working for the Russians, it does make sense, but still.
And he thinks it's OK to break up families and lock up children in concentration camps.
Somewhere you have to draw the line, and say enough is enough. This is not right.
I think even you must start to wake up and smell the coffee.
Oh, and why Hagfors? A tiny rural town with some 5000 inhabitants?
Its only claims to fame being that the Swedish Rally (
https://rallysweden.com/en/) passes through it and that Monica Zetterlund* was born there.
And that right now is in the headlines because of a forest fire devouring a nearby village.
Just seemed a rather surreal choice...
