Grok’s output undressing women and children is horrendous. @EU_Commission has already: • taken investigative steps • ordered the company to retain internal documents. X now has to fix its AI tool in the EU - and they have to do it quickly. 1/2

A thorough conversation on the EU’s added value in achieving European defence readiness fast ⬇️ With Gaston Moonen for ECA Journal #EuropeanCourtOfAuditors www.eca.europa.eu/ECAPublicati...

Concept of total #DefenceReadiness means both military and civil #preparedness Great to hear about 🇸🇪 experience and cooperation with its neighbours in preparing the society for any crisis: from 🇸🇪Chief of Defence Gen Michael Claesson and DG of Defence and Resilience Agency Mikael Frisell.

Great to have Sweden 🇸🇪 among enthusiasts of European #DefenceReadiness 🇪🇺 With Defence Minister Pål Jonson: how to #ReArm our armies faster through #SAFE, #EDPCI’s & joint procurement, to ensure that our support to Ukraine 🇺🇦 leads to a sustainable peace.

No one argues: 🇸🇪 is serious about security and defence. With Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson about many short & long term security issues: EDPCIs, joint procurement in #defence, support for 🇺🇦, 🇪🇺 pillar of #NATO, 🇪🇺 space independence, true #EuropeanDefenceUnion, 🇪🇺Security Council & more.

What a shameless display this is. She is itching to sell her country and sacrifice the Venezuelans on the altar of big capital. I stand by it: the only rightful winner would have been Francesca Albanese. And how unfortunate that you apparently can no longer accept a Nobel Prize! 😡

Portugal has much to offer when it comes to strengthening European defence and space! 🇪🇺🤝🇵🇹 Video impressions from an intensive mission to Porto and Lisbon this week ⬇️

🇸🇪National Annual Conference #FolkochForsvar counts its 80 years. A great honour to meet His Majesty The King Carl XVI Gustaf (who attends the Conference since 1976) and HRH The Crown Princess Victoria and exchange views on security of 🇸🇪 and 🇪🇺

Glad to meet again President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in Cairo, after the successful first EU–Egypt summit in October. Egypt is, and will remain, a strategic partner for the EU, with a prominent role in regional security and stability. (1/2)

The EU–Mercosur agreement is a major boost for free trade, helps diversify our economic ties and reduces dangerous dependencies. In an shock-prone world, it sends a clear signal of Europe’s commitment to strong, reliable partnerships, based on shared values and principles. (1/2)

The Iranian people are fighting for their future. By ignoring their rightful demands, the regime shows its true colours. Images from Tehran reveal a disproportionate and heavy-handed response by the security forces. (1/2)

The visit of Macinka and Turk to Kyiv would be commendable if it were even remotely related to Ukraine. Unfortunately, however, it is merely domestic politics. Motorists want to distinguish themselves from the SPD, and Turk wants to “sweep” the claim to the ministry. Ukrainians fight for us for a free world; exploiting them for their own wars is repulsive.

Putin doesn’t want peace, Russia’s reply to diplomacy is more missiles and destruction. This deadly pattern of recurring major Russian strikes will repeat itself until we help Ukraine break it. (1/3)

Fascism is rising in the USA, but it is also rising among us in the EU. This is an important film. You can sit quietly beside it and watch as everything unfolds, or raise your voice and change the direction. “The worst is not the evil of bad people, but the silence of good people.” – Martin Luther King areena.yle.fi/1-68431538?u...
