Saara Huhtasaari assessed that Ukraine could not win the war and that this should have been clear as early as 2022. She considered supporting the war foolish from the beginning and wrote that hundreds of billions had been spent on Ukraine while corruption and abuses in military procurements continued. According to her, the money had disappeared and politicians had become richer. Huhtasaari believed that Trump's diesel agreement would not change the outcome of the war, claiming that Ukraine would lose regardless. She blamed the West for maintaining a narrative for four years that victory would require only more weapons and time. In her opinion, this was a war of attrition, in which Russia was enduring better and Ukraine's personnel reserves were dwindling. #Ukraina #sota #historia (translated)

Jouni Raiskio questioned the calculation stating that a one percentage point change in the distribution obligation would affect pump prices by about 1.3 cents and the average driver's monthly expenses by about one euro. He asked whether the purpose of the calculation was to mislead and noted that the distribution obligation was reported as 19.5 percent in 2026 and 22.5 percent in 2027. According to Raiskio, the calculation only considered a one percentage point change. He urged that the impact of reducing the distribution obligation by 10 or 15 percent should also be calculated. He said he understood that the other party supported the chemical industry's viewpoint and referred to a saying for the National Coalition Party that a person's opinion is influenced by who pays their livelihood. #jakeluvelvoite #pumppuhinnat #autoilu (translated)

Miko Bergbom asked why the person who shared the link had changed its text. According to Bergbom, the text stated that a one percentage point change in the distribution obligation affects pump prices by about 1.3 cents and the monthly expenses of the average driver — 14,000 kilometers per year and consumption of 7 liters per 100 kilometers — by about one euro. He called the alteration of the text a cheap attempt to mislead people. #politiikka #talous #autoilu (translated)

Raul Eamets emphasizes that when discussing the growth of Estonia's debt burden, one must take into account economic growth and price increases; it should also not be forgotten that suppressing future expenses is not a sustainable solution and that investments in human capital yield greater returns in the long term. #võlakoormus #majanduskasv #riigieelarve (translated)

Juho Romakkaniemi wrote that taxation was eased for this year and the annual tax revenue estimate was adjusted upward by 1.1 billion. According to him, reducing high marginal tax rates on labor increases economic activity and consumption. Romakkaniemi assessed that raising taxes on high earners would likely not increase tax revenue, but would weaken the overall well-being of Finns. #verotus #talous #hyvinvointi (translated)

Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that the plan in Helsinki to ban advertising of fossil fuels could, according to her, cost the city nearly 100 million euros in advertising revenue. She criticized the proposal as unnecessary and absurd and listed as examples of potentially restricted advertising gasoline and diesel cars, flights, cruises, synthetic clothing, plastic products, and fossil fuels. Aidanjuuri described that the Greens in Vantaa could, in her opinion, follow the same line and that advertising would then practically be limited to, for example, veggie sausages, rainbow flags, and new mosques. She also pointed out that taxpayer money would be used for the handling of the matter. Aidanjuuri cited a proposal stating that the advertising ban would be investigated in the preparation of the next outdoor advertising agreement for Helsinki's public areas and that the advertising agreements of Urban Traffic Ltd would also be taken into account. The assessment would examine, among other things, the legal boundaries of the ban, its climate and environmental impacts, effects on the city's economy, the city's own communication and marketing, as well as the media landscape. The proposal also mentioned the possibility of examining advertising's ethical principles more broadly and limiting outdoor advertising from entities considered to violate human rights and particularly polluting industries. #Helsinki #ilmastonmuutos #mainonta (translated)

According to him, they managed the calendar, emails, and Drive, reminded about routines and unpaid bills, and retrieved key codes for the cottage by speaking to the car.

Two of them were, according to him, ordinary Grok discussions, and meetings were held using the agents' own email addresses.
