Sweden’s prime minister on Thursday said that he’s summoned the head of the military to discuss how the armed forces can help police deal with an unprecedented crime wave that has shocked the country with almost daily shootings and bombings.

Getting the military involved in crime-fighting would be a highly unusual step for Sweden, underscoring the severity of the gang violence that has claimed a dozen lives across the country this month, including teenagers and innocent bystanders.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said that he would meet with the armed forces’ supreme commander and the national police commissioner on Friday to explore “how the armed forces can help police in their work against the criminal gangs.”

it was the Modraterna, who I absolutley consider to be "lefties"

Lefties, righties, what? Why do you only see directions instead of destinations?

Moderaterna didn't open the floodgates because they care about these people, but because their goal has always been to vaska välfärden. Even the current PM said it himself 30 years ago when he first got elected to Riksdagen, that his goal is to "bekämpa och avveckla välfärdsstaten". Do you think any "lefty" would ever say something like that, or do you simply like to abuse the English language?

If I buy sanctioned oil from Venezuela for really cheap and rebrand it for sale in the US, does it mean that I personally agree with any of Maduro's politics? Answer is "I don't know, I don't care, I just wanna get rich": the impact of my actions on anyone else is irrelevant to me. This has always been Moderaternas playbook, and the memory loss/lack of historical education saddens me.

And people will still eat it up: hårdahandskar, throw more people into expensive prisons, make it harder to get a job (if Kriminalvården did their job, anyways), more surveillance, less freedoms. Because it'd simply be too hard to eliminate the gang's main income source via selling some plants at Systembolaget.

wtf does maduro and venezuela have to do with swedish gang crime and the increased militarization of swedish police?

Other than that though, thats just my own point rebranded.

Modraterna played everyone, on behalf of the US&CIA, I believe it started with olof palme, literally that is what I believe. And you had to jump on the train to destabilize the swedish economy, by importing almost a million low to no skill workers, or you were branded a raging racist. A Professional, Picture Perfect generational psy-ops culture and economic campaign to end swedish solidarity.

And now that Sweden will be turned into a generic US/EU-lite hybrid, join NATO, and normalize entire populations on temp/gig work as a source of survival. All the wannabe commies and socialists who comprise the swedish goverment are going to stand by and let it happen. As it's already done deal, they stood by as the interest of the swede was sold out for the interest of the west. Then people act all surprised when some of us gasp* support more confrontational policing methods? As the majority of the west is facing a surge in organized crime? Especially Sweden?

Either way my og point stands. Solidariteten är över, they killed it by importing that much cheap labor. And Modraterna are absolutley "lefties" as they preach free markets(but only when it benefits them), open borders, etc. Which makes them liberal free market lefty globalists? And they like won too yall realize right? That's my point.

I'm assuming yall offended are "vänster" leaning. Which on a good day I think means yall are wannabe socialists or commies. Yall lost the fight along time ago I'm afraid.

Also, I literally grow and smoke exclusively my own shit. Why are you assuming I'm anti weed cause I'm pro-swedish-cops? lol every haschnisse i know has been arrested 3-5 times for possession, and their lives aren't exactly ruined. And what part of militarized police operating in specific situations and areas of Sweden will result in it being harder for people to get jobs? The equipment and training I'm talking about is the kind of shit that either, makes it easier for cops to go after middle-higher ranked individuals in organized crime structures, or keep cops from being shot. Not exactly a bad idea.

Not pulling up on Muhammed at 2am and just blasting. lol
