Henri Vanhanen wrote that Donald Trump's Russia policy may not have been guided by a coherent strategy. According to him, Trump made decisions one by one, seeking quick political gains, and then had to fix the consequences. In his assessment, Vanhanen linked Trump's diminished commitment to arming Ukraine, the energy price increases resulting from the war in Iran, and the recent diesel trade with Russia. He believed that trade could bolster the Russian economy and give Vladimir Putin a means to pressure Ukraine into halting strikes on Russia's oil refineries. Vanhanen also criticized Trump for condemning strikes that he claimed weakened Russia's war economy. Vanhanen noted that Trump’s administration had not sought significant new funding from Congress for arming Ukraine. According to him, previously agreed deliveries had continued, and European countries had purchased American weapons for Ukraine. He stated that Trump was not fundamentally on the side of Ukraine or Europe but was primarily pursuing his own interests. According to Vanhanen, Finland's security should not be built on the assumption that there is a plan behind Trump's decisions that would turn in favor of Europe. He urged preparedness for the possibility that U.S. aid could be delayed or smaller than expected, to strengthen the availability of defense equipment and air defense, and to deepen cooperation with Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Britain, Poland, and the Baltic countries. He also believed that Europe should be able to support Ukraine and maintain economic pressure on Russia by its own means. #Trump #Venäjä #Ukraina (translated)

Riku-Mikael Leppänen asked how France could be in financial trouble, even though in his opinion it had taken in many skilled workers from Africa and the Middle East. He wondered whether immigration should have improved the dependency ratio and economic development compared to other countries. Leppänen also asked how Poland's economy could grow explosively without immigration from the third world. #talous #maahanmuutto #Ranska (translated)

Katti thought the Latvian line was good and asked what Finland intended to do. He wrote that Latvia had announced, like Poland, that it would not accept the EU's migrant quotas or relocated people, nor would it pay financial sanctions, which he estimated to be around 20,000 euros per person. https://t.co/1qlgVUUJMt #Latvia #Suomi #EU (translated)

Venäjä leikkii nyt tietoisesti tulella. Iskut kohdistuvat yhä lähemmäs Puolan rajaa ja toiminta muuttuu aggressiivisemmaksi. Arvioni on vakava: on ajan kysymys, milloin jokin iskuista ylittää rajan ja iskee Nato-maahan. Silloin vastauksen oltava valmiina ja yksiselitteinen. 1/3 #Venäjä #Nato #Aggressiivisuus

Suomen Mepit munanneet taas pahasti.Kyseessä on jättimäinen 86,7 miljardin euron EU:n sosiaalinen ilmastorahasto, joka on käytössä vuosina 2026–2032. Puola + 11 mrd. Ranska, Espanja ja Italia + 7 mrd, ja Kreikka, 3,6 mrd. Suomi on nettomaksaja. https://t.co/pLp8VMRjB2 #EU #ilmasto #rahoitus

Glenn Diesen: "Puolan pääministerin mukaan Ukrainan armeija kärsii 27 000:n hengen tappiot kuukaudessa. Tästä huolimatta Euroopan johtajat torjuvat diplomatian Venäjän kanssa sodan lopettamiseksi. Jos kyseessä olisivat eurooppalaiset sotilaat, olisimme jo kauan sitten sopineet #Ukraina #Venäjä #Diplomatia #PL #UA #RU #EU

Eilen Puolassa muistettiin Neuvostoliiton hyökkäystä, joka tehtiin Hitlerin kanssa sovitun etupiirijaon nojalla. Sama sopimus johti Talvisotaan. Suomi maksoi raskaan hinnan. Karjala röstettiin ja vaaran vuoden seurasivat. Etupiirit ja pilkkomisen eivät ole ratkaisu Ukrainassa. https://t.co/ce60fakOt2 #Suomi #Talvisota #Ukraina #FI #RU #UA

Puolan rannalta löytyi venäläinen Gerbera-2, jossa oli räjähdekärki ja sytytin. Päivää myöhemmin Italian Eurofighterit ampuivat Liettuassa alas toisen venäläisen Gerberan. Tämä on otettava vakavasti: Itämeren turvallisuustilanne on kiristymässä. 1/3 #Itämeri #turvallisuus #geopolitiikka
