Henri Vanhanen criticized what he believed to be excessive flattery of Putin by Americans and argued that Russia was not a superpower like the Soviet Union. According to him, the United States had nearly 2.4 times as many inhabitants as Russia, its economy was about 12 times larger, and its military spending was five times greater. Furthermore, he believed the U.S. had a global network of allies that Russia could only dream of. Vanhanen wrote that the flattery of the opposing side could be a negotiation tactic in diplomacy, but public statements also had political significance. He believed they gave the impression that Washington viewed Putin as a partner upon whose goodwill peace depended, rather than emphasizing Russia's responsibility for starting and continuing the war. Vanhanen argued that the United States' negotiating position should be strong and not rely on personal flattery of Putin. https://t.co/LMF0zpp0Q9 #Politiikka #Diplomatia #Yhdysvallat (translated)
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)

Tanja Aidanjuuri criticized the Green Youth's proposal to ban the sale and import of new gasoline-powered passenger cars, as well as the import of cars registered after the ban takes effect. The proposal was presented by the chair of the Green Youth, Maria Saita, in a press release. Aidanjuuri described the Green Youth's goal as moving away from gasoline-powered cars and reducing car usage. She asked how ordinary Finns would get to work if there were no bus connections and if they couldn't afford an electric car. According to her, the ban would not bring more public transport to the villages or help low-income people afford a car trade-in. Aidanjuuri added that the approaching elections should not overshadow rational consideration. https://t.co/fnDSnNK6Jj #liikenne #sähköauto #ilmastonmuutos (translated)

Seida Sohrabi stated that she filed a criminal complaint a couple of years ago regarding videos published on social media, which she claims presented defamations and private life information about herself and her parents. She said the videos contained serious and unfounded allegations as well as insinuations about her parents' connections to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Sohrabi denied the claim made in the video that there was an ISIS flag on her parents’ balcony in Turku's Varissuo. According to her, her parents had never lived in Varissuo together or separately, and a terrorist organization's flag had not been raised on the balcony. She mentioned that her parents fled Iran when they were young and said that there were peshmerga fighters in her family who had fought for the rights of Kurds. She also revealed that the videos contained derogatory implications about her parents’ sexual behavior. According to Sohrabi, her parents had not sought publicity, but they had been drawn into attacks due to her public position. She stated that the respondent had been convicted of disseminating private information and defamation. She claimed that the conviction was not final. Sohrabi justified bringing the matter to public attention by stating that even those in public office have rights, and that filing a criminal complaint should not be seen as an overreaction if a line had been crossed. She expressed concern about the state of democracy, privacy protection, and the safety of political participation. She referred to Ben Zyskowicz's violent attack at a campaign event in Helsinki before the 2023 parliamentary elections, the harassment experienced by Sanna Marin, the violation of domestic peace, and Juha Sipilä’s assault near the parliament building. Sohrabi also mentioned that the West Uusimaa police were investigating two incidents related to election work that occurred on September 19, as well as suspected intrusions into the homes of members of parliament. Sohrabi said she wanted harassment, hate, and violence to be addressed before they became entrenched in Finnish political culture. She warned that perceiving participation in politics as too great a personal risk could undermine democracy. #demokratia #yksityisyys #kunnialoukkaus (translated)
