Sammallahti wrote that Russia had attacked Ukraine without any provocation or threat. According to him, the only reason for the attack was the desire of Russia and Russians to kill Ukrainians.

He added that his grandparents had been right. #Ukraina #Venäjä #Imperialismi (translated)
Sammallahti wrote that the Finnish left, in his opinion, had remained silent about the riots in France. He claimed that masked antifascists had waved Palestinian flags, set major cities on fire, looted stores, and assaulted bystanders. Sammallahti assessed that the left's reaction would have been stronger if there had been features interpreted as right-wing in the riots. Sammallahti also claimed that in Finland, antifascist actors operated particularly under the protection of the Left Alliance and the Greens, and had organized events such as Kuokkavieraat, Smash ASEM, Kiakkovieraat, and Makasiinimellakat, as well as the Luokkaretki lähiöst linnaan event and the activities of Extinction Rebellion. According to him, the connections of far-left groups to current politics had not been investigated in Finland because there had been no lustration and the media had a sympathetic attitude towards the left. He added that leftist politicians had sometimes carried symbols of violent extremist groups and that some of the event organizers had advanced to influential political positions. Sammallahti hoped that leftist politicians would autonomously condemn the actions of their like-minded peers. He believed that the violence of the far-left should be prevented rather than understood, using soft and, if necessary, hard means. https://t.co/CXoRZ8GE6X https://t.co/YStFgDHL6U https://t.co/6EQpCOTZAo https://t.co/OOq0ayZ4Ou #vasemmisto #mellakat #antifasismi (translated)

Sammallahti wrote that Greta Thunberg had said in France that young people were rising in rebellion because the system, in her view, was in conflict with human rights and humanity.

Sammallahti suggested that the University of Helsinki could study the mass psychosis he described that has spread in the West. He claimed it had raised Thunberg to a cult-like status and said that the media, the academic world, and the left had tried to pressure even whole nation-states to yield to her will. He described Thunberg as far-left and accused her of deceit. https://t.co/6fSmoZpzW1 #ilmastonmuutos #nuorisokapina #demokratia (translated)

Tere Sammallahti described the SDP's actions in parliament as workplace bullying and claimed that the party had been slowing down and complicating parliamentary work under Krista Kiuru's leadership.

He criticized the left for inciting discord with socialist class rhetoric and described the actions of the Social Democrats as ahistorical and foolish. https://t.co/otewTq3cL7 #Suomi #verot #politiikka (translated)
Tere Sammallahti wrote that according to the interpretation of the Tax Administration, taxes of up to 170,000 euros should have been paid on an income of 41,000 euros, but the Supreme Administrative Court annulled the interpretation. He contemplated what kind of social media story the Tax Administration would create about the legal dispute and thanked for the work victory as well as for the precedent he considers important. https://t.co/x1NDdIyEbr #verotus #oikeus #ennakkopäätös (translated)

Tere Sammallahti wrote that an external consulting firm had interviewed Yle's leaders and concluded that Yle operates efficiently and uses its money well.

Additionally, he believed that the Center Party wanted to increase the EU budget by one billion euros of Finnish money, while Orpo's government was, according to him, trying to curb the growth of the budget. Sammallahti described the Center Party's papers and speeches as empty. https://t.co/rYTgRupENu #Suomi #politiikka #EU (translated)
Tere Sammallahti wrote that yet another company was moving from Finland to Sweden and would sell its products from Sweden to Finland in the future.

Sammallahti wrote that Joona Räsänen remarked that cuts do not necessarily kill economic growth. According to Sammallahti, Tytti Tuppurainen noticed that the journalist and photographer from Kuukausiliite were still listening at the door of the hall and directed them outside with her gaze. Sammallahti claimed this had undermined the SDP's most central economic criticism and wrote that the party is aware of this. He asked Antti Lindtman whether the SDP intends to continue scaring and misleading Finns. https://t.co/djE2iX7VHf #politiikka #talous #SDP (translated)
