Just an armchair chieftain trying to make sense of world politics and conflicts. 100% pro-Ukraine, 100% pro-democracy. Born and raised in Sweden. Exported to Canada. Lived about half my life in Canada. I love both countries. The profile picture is a replica of a Viking helmet. And no, the Vikings didn't have horns on their helmets. That was introduced in Wagner's opera The Ring of the Nibelung. The header picture is of the Viking castle in Trelleborg (also called Trelleborgen).

Last Notes npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…zlca @nprofile…jut8 Many channels that discuss the CCP and China have an agenda. Perhaps one day there will be an AI that can eliminate biases, allowing you to get the facts without commentary. 🤣 npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…zlca @nprofile…jut8 You're right, el Celio. She leans towards Trump. I had completely overlooked that fact. 😞 But I like her discussions about the CCP and the situation in China. I guess I'll have to pay closer attention from now on. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…zlca @nprofile…jut8 Xi has been doing a lot of house cleaning for a while now. Zhang Youxia is undoubtedly the most high-profile person he has sidelined. If anyone is interested in learning more about what's going on, follow Lei's Real Talk. https://www.youtube.com/@LeisRealTalk npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…dhsu I wouldn’t describe the Vikings as fascists. Yes, they were militaristic and glorified war, used violence against outsiders, and expanded through conquest. However, there was no central state, only loose chieftainships, and chieftains were elected or accepted through assemblies. Viking societies adhered to the rule of law, and there was no unified ideology or formal ideology of supremacy. Control over the economy and society was mostly local and private. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…73zl Not bad pay for spending 8–11 days in Russia and occupied Ukraine. It's a shame it's only the wife back home who would benefit from it. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…v3m0 All I see is nine white dudes who wish they were black. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…agj4 @nprofile…73zl I don’t know which of the Ukrainian commentators I follow who said it, but Putin’s regime is putting much of the financial burden of recruiting contract soldiers on the regional governments. Many of those governments now realize they can’t sustain the cost, so several have begun lowering the signing bonuses, while a few others have tried to keep them high or even increase them. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…t8jz Since the YouTube video requires a login, here's a local version. https://cdn.masto.host/krigskunstsocial/media_attachments/files/115/339/133/377/430/733/original/5b4f45ae025aa996.mp4 npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…74vl @nprofile…cldh One of the goals seems to be eliminating as many undesirable Russian men as possible. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…74vl Prague is not located in the Czech Republic? 🤔 npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…74vl I guess 58.1% still have fond memories of the summer of '68.

The Rapid Support Forces is basically a terrorist group. They're behind ethnic cleansing, mass killings, and a lot of brutal violence in Sudan. They have backing from the UAE and ties to Russia’s Wagner Group, especially through gold smuggling and weapons. With all that foreign support, they’re essentially a tool for authoritarian powers, putting them right in the mix with today’s Axis of Evil. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…rqac If this is indeed the case, it represents a significant breakthrough. 🙂 npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain Ukrainian farmers are true heroes, not just for stealing Russian tanks, APCs and IFVs in 2022, but for everything they have continued to do throughout the 3.5 years of war. They keep farming under constant threat of being targeted and attacked by Russian forces. https://cdn.masto.host/krigskunstsocial/media_attachments/files/114/886/975/168/584/036/original/7c48aa1f5fb20311.mp4 npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain Anders Puck Nielsen discusses a recent announcement by Donald Trump and Mark Rutte on Russia. Though framed as major, Nielsen sees it as minor. Trump threatens 50-day deadline for peace, but it's unlikely to sway Putin. The US will allow USD 10B in arms sales to allies for Ukraine, signalling a shift from direct aid to arms supplier. Nielsen views this as the US stepping back from leading support for Ukraine and prioritizing arms sales over continued direct involvement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiVvXPpo0eE npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…3w02 We will kill and maim Ukrainian civilians until they love us. – Russians npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…rqac I doubt Canada would be able to make up for the loss of oil from the Middle East. China's oil reserves are small compared to Canada's, but I get your point. 😉 They could last five years on their own oil reserves. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…3w02 Et tu, Brute? npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…rqac If Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, it will not end well for the country or its regime. There are too many stakeholders who rely on transporting their black gold through the strait, and too many recipients who depends on it. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain Mass protests swept across the U.S. and beyond as people stood up to Donald Trump's authoritarian ambitions, rejecting his attempt at a "dictator parade" and fears of looming martial law. The No Kings movement showed the strength of democratic resistance. Canada was among the first to oppose Trump’s agenda, setting an example. With low turnout and public backlash, Trump looked visibly defeated, his fragile ego clearly shaken. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8FQNG-zMw4 npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain Covert Cabal examines Russia’s largest towed artillery storage site at Shchuchye, once a Soviet chemical weapons depot. Of 4,839 guns stored pre-war, just 2,753 remain. The drawdown has slowed... from 72 per month early in the war to 17 per month since mid-2023... suggesting stabilization. However, many pieces are in poor shape. With old stockpiles dwindling, Russia must ramp up production or adapt to reduced firepower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSQ4UcDZh4w npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain Trump and Putin have discussed restoring U.S.-Russia trade after the Ukraine war, but major obstacles remain. Russia’s hostile business climate, legal changes, sanctions, and asset seizures make a return risky for U.S. firms. Experts say a peace deal is unlikely soon, and even if sanctions ease, few companies are eager to re-enter Russia’s unstable market, especially with EU sanctions still in place. https://apnews.com/article/russia-economy-trump-sanctions-ukraine-war-invasion-63d4095970dd45ea87a12d65074a595e npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…3w02 I guess she's the best person to answer that initial question. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain Putin was left red-faced after @nprofile…57qw revealed that a Russian WWII memorial featured seven photos of American gay porn star William Herrington, photoshopped in military gear. The blunder, tied to a 16-year-old prankster, emerged during Victory Day celebrations. The mural, meant to honour Russian war dead, sparked outrage amid Russia’s ongoing crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/putin-humiliated-as-gay-porn-star-scandal-erupts-over-victory-day-celebrations/ar-AA1EEcaD https://cdn.masto.host/krigskunstsocial/media_attachments/files/114/562/871/678/958/278/original/b707f622d1cc0fbf.jpg https://cdn.masto.host/krigskunstsocial/media_attachments/files/114/562/872/142/198/652/original/7abbd58e109f7cb2.jpg npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain In Dzerzhinsky, Russia, a mural meant to honour a Special Military Operation soldier accidentally depicted a Ukrainian Azov fighter. Unveiled on May 9 for Victory Day, the image sparked backlash once locals noticed the resemblance. https://cdn.masto.host/krigskunstsocial/media_attachments/files/114/560/689/000/870/325/original/5f1b375177b5b458.jpg https://cdn.masto.host/krigskunstsocial/media_attachments/files/114/560/689/496/810/492/original/8655725ff2740a9a.jpeg https://cdn.masto.host/krigskunstsocial/media_attachments/files/114/560/690/016/231/061/original/4a4f061e5075358b.jpeg npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…cldh FFS… Suspend Hungary's EU and NATO memberships already. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…2u6v Trump couldn't find Waldo, so he ordered ICE to find Waldo for him and deport him to El Salvador. https://cdn.masto.host/krigskunstsocial/media_attachments/files/114/403/990/846/229/789/original/d98840957fe90d27.jpg npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain Senator Adam Schiff criticizes the Trump administration for corruption, self-dealing, and disregard for the American people. He highlights actions like promoting meme coins for financial gain, purging the DOJ of loyalists, and using government agencies to protect allies and punish enemies. Schiff argues that Trump's policies, including tax cuts for the wealthy and the gutting of public services, disproportionately harm everyday Americans while benefiting billionaires. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glufAIEp67o npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…3w02 Half of Russia will soon belong to China. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain This is how the Russian advance in the Pokrovsk area looks from the Russian perspective. https://cdn.masto.host/krigskunstsocial/media_attachments/files/113/801/863/083/192/230/original/9f09bbfc6ef2cdd4.mp4 npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…ypxz It's sad that heritage sites are not better looked after. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…ypxz Very nice photos from the Chornobyl exclusion zone time capsule. npub10nee29fltnt24ynjt09gm7qze00mslufe7m7lhxam4vkw8szflyquff7za Viking Chieftain @nprofile…4kmp The EU is finally waking up.
