Henri Vanhanen wrote that in the United States, Russia was understood more than its own allies, in his opinion. He assessed that Hillary Clinton's words from ten years ago had gained new weight. Vanhanen reminded of the 2018 Helsinki summit, where Trump, in his view, appeared to trust Vladimir Putin's assurances more than the U.S. intelligence community's assessments of Russia's interference in the presidential elections. Vanhanen wrote that Russia had actively sought to promote Trump's victory in the same elections. According to Vanhanen, U.S. Russia policy changed after Trump's return: Russia was once again brought to the center of great power diplomacy, and Washington sought normalization of relations as well as economic arrangements. He also pointed out that the United States voted in 2025 at the UN against a resolution concerning Ukraine alongside Russia and that Putin was welcomed with a red carpet at the Alaska summit while Russia's invasion war continued. Vanhanen assessed that Russia had benefited from political decisions made during Trump's presidency and wrote that the United States was ready to pressure Ukraine. He wondered why Trump spoke warmly of Putin, who in Washington defined the direction of Russia policy, and why Trump occasionally showed more understanding to Putin than to his allies. According to Vanhanen, these decisions could no longer be explained as mere individual blunders or the president's unpredictability. #Trump #Venäjä #Yhdysvallat (translated)

Binga Tupamäki wrote that the events in France were finally treated as riots rather than peaceful student protests, but he criticized the media coverage as still having a strange tone. According to him, Helsingin Sanomat suggested that the videos circulating from the riots promoted the far-right agenda and emphasized that the involvement of immigrants could not yet be confirmed. Tupamäki asked why the editorial teams were hesitant in this case, even though they had previously speculated on matters before official confirmations. He believed that comments from Donald Trump and Sebastian Tynkkynen should not become main news stories instead of the violence, and called for a deeper analysis of the causes and consequences of the events. According to Tupamäki, contemplating the connection between immigration failure and social unrest does not make a person far-right. He referred to the decades-long discussion in France about the segregation of suburbs and the problems of integration, and assessed that there were no common norms or respect in an increasingly unequal environment. He urged an examination of the role of the radical left and claimed that the streets of France were primarily places of rioting for the far left. Tupamäki mentioned that Greta Thunberg participated in the protest and praised students for rising against the system, even though he claimed there were no concrete demands. He assessed that the unrest was more related to revolutionary fantasies than to a shortage of teachers and budget cuts. According to Tupamäki, the rigid reporting by Helsingin Sanomat and other media ironically benefited the far-right: if people saw videos and heard that only far-right individuals thought about the conclusions drawn from them, they might begin to identify with it. He considered honest and fair reporting as a means to prevent radicalization. #Ranska #mellakat #media (translated)
