Sweden to establish a new authority for “psychological defence” in order to counter “disinformation” and rescue the country's image and reputation,

A new authority tasked with boosting society's “overall resilience within the psychological defence” should be established, according to investigator Anders Danielsson. In his own words, this aims to “safeguard the formation of opinions” and “parry undue influence and other misleading information”.

Sweden should establish a new authority for “psychological defence” in order to counter “disinformation” and rescue the country's image and reputation,

a state investigation has

proposed .

According to the report penned by former Director General of the Swedish Security Police Anders Danielsson, this would “parry undue influence and other misleading information”.

Danielsson suggested that Sweden was exposed, among other things, to so-called “impact operations” that try and sow discord in the country. The authority should therefore target “antagonistic actors” who spread information the authorities deem to be false. The new body, according to Danielsson, would “safeguard the formation of opinions”.

“It can be about diplomatic contacts or counter-narratives. Ultimately, it is about getting through a different image from the one the opponents want to convey”, Anders Danielsson explained.

According to the proposal, the new body, tentatively called the National Centre for Psychological Defence, will have 45 employees, tasked with “supporting and developing the society's overall resilience”. This will be done by identifying misleading information, disseminating knowledge among the competent authorities, providing necessary training and supporting the media in analysing and confronting fake news.

“The work on psychological defence is of great importance and needs to be strengthened. It is important to consider how it should be designed to be able to be carried out in peacetime, at the height of preparedness and ultimately in times of war. Among other things, it is about strengthening the ability to meet disinformation, something that we have also seen examples of during the ongoing corona crisis,” Interior Minister Mikael Damberg said.

“Sweden is facing increasingly complex threats, with foreign powers exploiting opportunities to disseminate information and propaganda, and therefore Sweden must have a stronger ability to detect it,” Damberg added.

The proposal also includes rights to electronic signal monitoring . This has spurred the criticism of Lena Hallin, the head of the Swedish Military Intelligence and Security Service (MUST).

“We don't see the need for another authority to receive these rights. The way it is regulated today, you can get information from other sources in such a way that it meets the need,” Hallin told the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet.

Currently there are several authorities that have psychological defence in their area of responsibility. In addition to the aforementioned MUST, they include the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), SÄPO and the

Swedish Armed Forces.

If green-lit by the parliament, the new authority may become operational in 2022.

The US State Department signed off on three proposed weapons sales to modernize Patriot missile defences in Kuwait

The US State Department signed off on three proposed weapons sales to modernize Patriot missile defences in Kuwait

in a package totaling more than $1.4 billion, the Defence Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said on Thursday.

The packages include 84 missile segment enhancers for $800 million, missile repair items valued at $200 million, plus a training and technical support deal worth $425 million, the Pentagon agency said in multiple statements.

“The proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a Major Non-NATO Ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East”, three separate press releases said, using identical language.

The centerpiece of the package, $800 million for 84 Missile Segment Enhancements (MSEs), also includes spare parts, tools and testing supplies and a long list of related equipment, which DSCA said will “improve Kuwait's capability to meet current and future threats and provide greater security for its critical oil and natural gas infrastructure”.

“Kuwait will use the enhanced capability to strengthen its homeland air defence by better meeting current and future air threats. The acquisition of these missiles will allow for integration with US forces for training exercises, which contributes to regional security and interoperability”, DSCA said.

The proposed sales will not alter the basic military balance in the region, according to DSCA.

The US Space Force has launched a series of classes aimed at training army personnel in "warfighting" to maintain military hegemony;I sometimes wonder how the 3rd world war will look like!

The US Space Force has launched a series of classes aimed at training army personnel in "warfighting" to maintain military hegemony, the US Space Force announced this week.

The 319 Combat Training Squadron (CTS) instructor cadre would begin teaching Space Warfighting (SWF) courses at the Peterson's Moorman Space Education and Training Centre on Wednesday, it said.

Disciplines covered in the training series included Orbital Warfare, Space Battle Management and Space Electronic Warfare, the report read.

Graduates from Undergraduate Space Training would "immediately" move to the new programme's Follow-on courses, according to the announcement.

“Our modern lives depend on our space capabilities, and potential adversaries are actively attempting to exploit the benefits space provides us. Every day our space warfighters purposefully prepare to negate potential adversaries’ attempts to claim space superiority over us,” Lt Col Daniel Sebeck, 319th Combat Training Squadron commander," said in a statement.

He added that such training would 'transform' the way US military developed future space warfighters into a "highly trained, ready force".

“The Space Force must develop a cadre of space warfighters to protect U.S. interests in space, deter aggression in, from and to space and conduct space operations. The SWF courses are the first step toward mastering and applying space warfare discipline,” he said.

Developing and integrating space professionals would be a "cornerstone of the way we fight wars" and the US military “must be ready and lethal" to provide such fighters "to defeat threats in the crowded, contested space domain,” he added.

But a passive mindset on tactical operations was 'dangerous', he said.

“Space warfighters will learn about threats and how space combat disciplines are utilized from the beginning of their career in the Space Force,” he said.

The 319th CST instructor cadre would consist of contractors, active duty personnel, civilians and reserve members from the 42nd Combat Training Squadron, the report stated.

Such courses would add an "additional layer of depth" to space training to produce warfighters capable of "readiness and lethality", he concluded.

The announcements come after the US Space Force issued a $2.4bn contract to defence company Northrop Grumman to build two missile early detection satellites by the end of December 2025.

US president Donald Trump told reporters in May that the US was developing a "Super Duper" missile capable of travelling 17 times faster than conventional missiles.

"[We're] building right now incredible military equipment... We have, I call it the Super Duper Missile, and I heard the other night 17 times faster than what they have right now, when you take the fastest missile we have right now", Trump said at the time.

But ,who has told you that afande muhoozi wants to become a president??? This is why opposition will never defeat museveni in any election,you are always offside!!!
