302 "armored personnel carriers", what even is that specifically? In case of war all civilian cars, buses and trucks becomes property of the army, in other words, there's no shortage in vehicles for road transports of supplies and people. More stupid would be to give away and of the off-road vehicles, bandwagons, tanks, fire and rescue vehicles, forestry vehicles etc.

Giving away weapons and tanks is more stupid, in fact Russia seized 5000 anti-tank missiles from Sweden and has used those to blow up all the Abrams tanks as well as the German Leopards.

But the single stupidest thing to give away is money as all the Ukrainian officials simply put it all into their own pockets and disappear, or "donate" it back to whichever politicians approved the money to be sent. They have no production in Ukraine, their only realistic suppliers would be in Europe from were most countries already donate whatever stuff Ukraine asks for. Money makes zero difference.

True, "crypto banks" are just as scummy as fiat banks.

Beats bank accounts monopolies when society goes cashless. Nobody wants a cashless society but unfortunately it's inevitable because banks have monopoly on cash.

They all do, problem is that many merchants don't accept native crypto payments yet. Although more are starting to every day. 👌

This is he correct solution. 👆

You'll save a lot of money by using this strategy, plus that crypto debit cards works everywhere in Europe and you can even pay your utility bills with card, there's really no need for a bank nowadays.

It depends on bank too, Sweden has 6 major banks, ironically the worst ones, i.e those that harass their customers the most are also the ones getting caught for money laundering all the time, we're talking billions of dollars. Often benefiting countries that are considering enemies of NATO such as Iran, North Korea, Russia and so on. These banks are the definition of evil who don't hesitate to kill thousands of people just to hide the truth of their shady business practices.

You don't put everything there, only what you plan to spend in the next few hours. Just like with cash.

That's the fine thing about crypto tho, it works just like cash. You don't have to carry your mattress around at all time with millions in your life savings, you only carry what you need and what you can afford to lose. I.e only transfer a small amount to the custodial wallet before you go shopping.

With this method you can even use multiple cards and might have a chance to pay still if one of the exchanges or card processors are down.

Tho everyone should recognize that cash is still fiat, just a printed version of the same ponzi scheme the banks operate. To actually "cash out" you need something with actual value, like gold or bitcoin.

Sweden is great for small businesses and startups, sadly there will always be retards abusing generous systems.
