As a Swede I approve.

I also heard that it would just take them 3-4 days to secure Kiev....

If the aggression against Ukraine is maintained by Russian volunteer forces and Russia has to relocate them now, it means that there are no conscripts to use.

Using conscripts pretty much means that Putin admits that it never was a special military operation with 3-4 days to take Kiev. It pretty much sends signals to the Russian people that he is far from being in control and able to contain the situation.

Swede here.

While the current situation is bad, I don't know anyone that knows anyone who has been involved or seen any acts of violence like gang shootings and such.

I'm not in any way saying that the problem is not serious, because it is. I'm just saying that media and Facebook often makes it sound like Sweden is in a state of the Mad Max universe. It's not.

The cause(s) have most likely roots in things that started 20-30 years ago. It had time to spread and dig roots deep down.

While I'm not a fan of it current government and their actions on this matter, it is naive to think that the actions of the current government would show sufficient effects in just 2-3 years.

Leonid Slutsky, a senior lawmaker, claimed that the attacks had “the aim of sowing panic and dividing the people of Russia” and that “the blood of the victims” was also on the hands of the United States.

Of course it's United States that is to blame.

Holy crap, not even ChatGPT would be able to make this shit up.

No no no... This is just another sign that the Russian economy is booming and that the sanctions are useless...

Pfffft.... Russia already knew it was Ukraine long before USA received intel about ISIS preparing the attack. /s

Russia will not start a war in Ukraine, the country's President Vladimir Putin has said....

Even if this was the case, it's still not good:

I agree but I'm also happy that Putin doesn't get a win by presenting this as "Russia is great and all because of me".
