We live in a revolutionary time. The war in Ukraine started when the COVID-19 pandemic subsided. Many people are suffering and the war in Ukraine has taken a lot of lives.

For years, I have fought for membership in NATO. Since Sweden’s membership in NATO this year, it has been a dizzying time for me. I know that the memories of World War II veterans are still present. Sweden has never been neutral. Not least during the World War II.

During the years of writing my books, I traveled a lot. Including Vietnam and England. I had been preparing to travel to Jerusalem to ground off my book “Generations” which was partly about the immune system. Somewhere I felt that the war in Ukraine might spread to the Middle East. And so it was. I traveled to France and Spain instead of Israel.

The very fast media that exists today means that everything feels very close. It is not like in the 17th century when a rider on a horse could convey news that could take several weeks to deliver. Today, news delivery is instantaneous.

We have had an election in the United States where Trump has emerged victorious. Trump promises peace in Ukraine in 24 hours. Skeptics warn of a similar agreement in the 1930s with Hitler when he received advantages in Czechoslovakia. A false agreement as history later shows. Of course, one should learn from historical events. On the other hand, one should not forget that an incredible development has taken place, including computers and the Internet which were not at the beginning of the 20th century. You therefore have to look here and now.

It is tough. Perhaps an agreement with Russia and Ukraine can be made, but it is understood that at the same time, Russia’s invasion of countries can continue. Much rests in the hands of today’s trusted elected politicians.
