Germans have today a chance to show the world that far right politics and influence can be beaten. I hope fair and safe elections to all German people today!

Great video about what Europe should do to help Ukraine. Europe could place air defences and fighters in the rear to defend the critical infrastructure and people. This would free Ukraine to focus on the front line. Would this risk casualties and starting a war? Maybe, but we have to do something!

Good article about how Finland and other European countries should take the current global situation. EU must buy way more European made weapons to bolster the defence sector. EU should also unite their military capabilities, maybe not everything at once, but anything example would be a start.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

Is this guy for real this dumb or is he the best asset Russia has now? Maybe he is both? This clearly shows that Trump only cares about looking strong and making deals that benefit him and the rich. He is the playground bully that everyone hates, but have to deal with. Europe must act now!

This is something you see rarely in America, and it’s going to get worse under Trump administration. Strikes might not always seem great for ordinary people, but in the end they improve live of the workers. Workers should always unionise, so big corporations can’t use them as slave labour.

It’s ridiculous that current American politicians are openly mocking European countries and are trying to shift our politics to the far right. If this doesn’t finally awaken EU leaders and the common people, I don’t know what will. We must stay united and keep these extreme ideas out of Europe.

“He was meeting us with open mind …”, what has our PM Orpo been drinking to say that about Vance? I’m saddened to see that even some of our leaders in Finland bend their heads down to these MAGA politicians. Finnish and EU leaders must keep them out and stay firm against their corrupt influence!

Says the man who won’t tax the billionaires and corporations. You could easily get $500B or maybe even more by just doing that. But no you have to get money from countries that are in trouble.

This is most likely the reason Trump wants to take Greenland. It’s all those resources and America does love their resources especially oil. Let’s make sure Greenland doesn’t become the next playground of the wealthy oligarchs! Otherwise they are going to squeeze every last penny and leave them.

This is quite accurate description how some Americans see NATO. They want to control everything and when their allies are against it, they see it as bad thing. I sometimes wonder what they would do if nobody was trying to hold them back. Let’s hope America doesn’t do anything stupid under Trump.

Which one looks more inviting to visit? I think the one where people can actually walk and enjoy their surroundings. We should go back to human centric city design, and slowly reduce the amount of cars in cities. Let’s make cities beautiful and walkable again!

I don’t think this is going to go as they hope. I do agree that something must be done to improve the economy in Finland, but this? This would probably lead Finland towards the same path America took a long time ago after Reagan won his election. And look what happened to America, especially now!

Very good!👍 Let’s hope that Moldova’s 🇲🇩 path to EU 🇪🇺is smooth as possible!

Good! 👍 Let’s keep the door open for those that are still willing to uphold democracy and decency.

That would be just insane, peace talks without Ukraine itself? Sounds similar what happened to Czechoslovakia before WW2 started. Ukraine must be included in these talks in every step and EU should ensure nothing outright stupid is decided just by America and Russia. No talks without Ukraine! 🇺🇦

This is absolutely amazing news for European defence and continued support of Ukraine. Europe only has one TNT factory of this size in Poland, so this is absolutely amazing news for Finland. Europe still needs to increase defence capabilities, but this is a huge step towards the right direction!

Good to see that we Finns are still supporting our brothers in Ukraine in their efforts to stay free! 🇫🇮🇺🇦 We need to keep these actions going as long as it takes! And increase defence expenditure and production in Europe, to make sure no dictator will ever again threaten the peace we fought for! 🇪🇺

Good job Bernie, this is just ridiculous! It’s a very simple question that child could answer. RFK Jr. might be licking the boots of the oligarchs to keep himself on their good side. Or maybe the worm ate more of his brain than anybody thought? 🪱 🧠

We need to be careful how much we tighten these rules, because otherwise nobody will ever come to Finland. It’s already quite hard to become a citizen. I might agree with some points that need tightening, but we need to combat the population decline and ensure that those who need asylum can get it.

Probably one of the biggest reasons for this “stabilisation” is that the current job market is so bad and many are unemployed. So maybe the mental health related issues have not stabilised, but other issues have over taken them? Nevertheless mental health is very important and needs more resources!
