Henri Vanhanen wrote that Finland had paid billions of euros because, in his opinion, the geopolitical risks posed by Russia were not taken seriously in time. He referred to Fortum's Uniper transactions, in which he claimed nearly six billion euros were lost, as well as Rosatom's assertion that it had won the arbitration concerning the Hanhikivi nuclear power project against Fennovoima. Vanhanen noted that the final resolution and possible compensation were still unclear. Vanhanen said the losses were in the billions and had also been a detriment to taxpayers. According to him, lessons should have been learned from these cases that geopolitics and security policy could not be separated from economic decision-making. He wrote that warnings about Russia's aggression had been issued for years, but economic interests often outweighed them, and he felt that Finland could no longer afford to ignore the realities of global politics until the billion-euro bill arrived. https://t.co/Omv0fRGsLq #geopolitiikka #turvallisuuspolitiikka #Suomi (translated)

The European Union is preparing for a scenario of high prices for natural gas this winter. Obviously, filling levels are below those of other years and even below the requirements of the European regulation... we have an average of 73%. The target was 80% by October 1 and 90% anytime between October 1 and December 30, so there wouldn't be pressure on the markets, to increase prices even more... Romania is above the European average, we have surpassed 80%, and Romania will be in good shape regarding deposits. All of this shows that we may face high prices. For the population, no. We have a regulated price, we have 110 lei per megawatt hour, we have the quantities already secured by Romgaz and OMV Petrom, we have physical gas in storage. Asked whether gas prices will increase for the population this winter, Bușoi answered: "For the population, no. We have a regulated price, we have 110 lei per megawatt hour, we have the quantities already secured by Romgaz and OMV Petrom, we have physical gas in storage." So for the population and even for buildings that are in centralized heating, no. For industrial consumers, it is certainly another discussion and here, obviously, we need to see to what extent we can provide support for industrial natural gas consumers. #pretgazelor #iarna2026 #CristianBusoi (translated)

Carl Eos wrote that the Swedish Academy had decided to award Cecilia Uddén the Nobel Prize in Literature and described her Middle Eastern reporting for Sveriges Radio as fiction that had freed itself from reality. He claimed that events and causal relationships in her reporting were subordinated to an internal narrative logic and mentioned Gaza, Beirut, and Damascus as environments that served as backdrops. According to Eos, the award rewarded a literary development in which the outside world no longer corrected what was depicted. #Nobelpriset #Litteratur #Journalistik (translated)

Christian Marcussen wrote that a Muslim influencer rejected having answered "Yes" on TikTok to whether she was a terrorist, or "Not yet" to whether she had bombed anyone. She called the images false, he wrote. According to Marcussen, she claimed after a confrontation with Pia Kjærsgaard that the 79-year-old had pushed her four times during a TV recording. Marcussen wrote that neither witnesses nor cameras had captured it, and that the influencer wondered whether the TV company was withholding the footage to protect Kjærsgaard. He noted that footage of Kjærsgaard pushing a woman with a scarf would be among the most sensational in recent times, and added that Kjærsgaard could conversely claim that the images were false. #Islam #Terrorisme #Misinformation (translated)
