Even SCOTUS don't seem to execute the 'king's' bidding sometimes, despite being political appointees. Should judges, both State and Federal be elected and thus be beholden to public opinion to keep their jobs, be political appointees, dependent on the will of the appointer, for the duration of the appointment, or for as long as the appointer wills it, or should judges be independent? Agreed there is always some influence in appointments/elections/selections, but in my view, independent judiciary is important. The ability for the executive to ignore the judiciary should be removed. While no one likes to lose, the people need champions who are fair and unbiased.

...an active war situation, excluding the countries defense, isn't that the same as 'we won't supply anyone who invades someone else or is an aggressor to someone else.'...?

That seems to be a very fine distiction... Donated, sold, lease/lend, borrowed....

You mean just like Thaksin...?

Ok, so does Sweden sell arms to Ukraine, Israel, or any other of a myriad of countries in conflict with themselves or other countries, states of areas?

What a load of horse manure and clickbait. Tariffs are now 19%, what were they before Trump? It's highlighted as a huge tariff cut, but from what? 0% before?

What did the Swedish government expect when the aircraft are sold, even to their own Air Force? For them to be used as gate guards? Shed loads of money to buy, maintain and fly them and they're supposed to sit around gathering dust?

You have evidence of this?

Under Article 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998, “everyone has the right to freedom of expression” in the UK. The law goes on to say that this freedom “may be subject to formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society." These may be “in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.” There is now and never had been the right 'free speech in the UK, or anywhere for that matter. In the US, this is what the Constitution says: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.[6] Note the word 'Congress'.... But speech is shackled, even in the US. Hence why the President excluded AP reporters from a press conference. He didn't like the questions.

No. O P did not.

This is a quote? From whom, to whom attributed? These are similar, so for your 1 quote, I offer 3. Thank you on behalf of all Canadians,” an X user said. “Thank you for referring to us as the ‘owners of Canada’ and thank you for standing up for our sovereignty,” a Bluesky user said. “As one of the owners of Canada I thank you, Prime Minister, for keeping your cool,” another user said.

Good grief. A car showroom being equated to a place of worship now...? I notice that 'church' is not mentioned....

Oh the irony. Most of them are political appointees or elected officials.

What a fantastic response. Kudos to you, sir....

Or reducing federal taxes. Time for the States to step up. Why should all be down to the federal government to fix everything? California now has the 4th biggest economy in the world.....
