The author said that Ukrainians understand what surrender would mean, and that they do not want to be killed, raped, or tortured. He urged Europe to take care, for its own sake, that Putin does not win, as he believes that Western Europe would be the next target in that case. #Ukraina #Putin #Eurooppa #FI #UA #RU #EU (translated)

Žiga Turk stated that he expects a new encouragement for people to protest in three phases. According to him, dissatisfaction and anger should first escalate, and there should be an increasing emphasis on the alleged destruction of public education. Then, a fabricated or manipulated scandal similar to the one about smoking should come to light, as, in his view, flight tickets would not suffice to provoke outrage. This should be followed by mass protests against the government, which he labeled as fascist and accused of not putting mayonnaise on children's sandwiches. #protest #vlada #družba (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)

Pekka wrote that comments from Broadcom's CEO Hock Tan were said to have pressured AI sector stocks and weakened, among others, CoreWeave's bond markets. According to him, funding would be sufficient for data center projects if demand for AI or its growth rate remained high and investments were deemed profitable. Pekka estimated that large technology companies would continue to expand data centers rapidly in the coming days in their earnings, outlooks, and investment reports. He mentioned a rumor circulating among investors that Meta, which will publish its earnings tomorrow, might seek funding for data centers by diluting its shares, as Google had done. Pekka pondered whether Meta's shareholders would respond positively to this but believed the rumor supported the view of an increased need for data centers. He stated that companies were broadly considering how to utilize AI to enhance their business operations. He assessed that this would increase AI investments, particularly in purchasing tokens from leading Western AI companies, and believed that supply would lag behind demand for years to come. Pekka described the investor sentiment towards data center companies as weak and said they already appeared attractive to him, despite the increased risks. He cited CoreWeave as an example, whose market value, according to him, was below the revenue forecast based on analyst consensus for 2029. Pekka wrote that Nvidia owned 10 percent of CoreWeave and had promised to purchase the company's unsold GPU capacity until 2032 for up to $6.3 billion. He mentioned that he did not own shares in CoreWeave but was considering investing in it. He also justified the bears' question about why Nvidia needed to make such an agreement, speculating that the company would sell fewer chips without it. Pekka noted that AI stocks had risen strongly on average this year and did not believe that easy money was still available for investors. He considered indexes a good alternative for those who did not want to leverage their market view and said he was writing about his views to promote quality investment discussions and better decision-making. He added that this was not an investment recommendation. #pekka #tekoäly #datakeskukset #sijoittaminen (translated)

Tuomo Saarni pondered what it would feel like for an entrepreneur who had built their small business for a couple of decades to have it destroyed in an instant without society being able to help. He described neighbors staying behind locked doors and the entrepreneur having to start over the next day. Saarni also wrote that the state would require the entrepreneur to continue paying taxes so that the people who destroyed his property could, in his view, exercise their freedom without regard for others. He criticized the press for reporting that the demonstration had the support of the neighborhood and regarded Western democracy and journalism as being in crisis. #yrittäjyys #demokratia #journalismi (translated)

Harri Immonen named the liberal Western media as the culprit for Europe's accelerating collapse, if one party had to be chosen. According to him, the media had been directing citizens towards a leftist worldview for decades, and now this structure was collapsing. In Finland, the heaviest responsibility, according to Immonen, lay with Yle and Helsingin Sanomat. #liberaalimedia #Vasemmistolaisuus #Eurooppa (translated)

Sammallahti wrote that Greta Thunberg had said in France that young people were rising in rebellion because the system, in her view, was in conflict with human rights and humanity. Sammallahti interpreted that based on Thunberg's previous speeches, she meant Western market economy and democracy. Sammallahti suggested that the University of Helsinki could study the mass psychosis he described that has spread in the West. He claimed it had raised Thunberg to a cult-like status and said that the media, the academic world, and the left had tried to pressure even whole nation-states to yield to her will. He described Thunberg as far-left and accused her of deceit. https://t.co/6fSmoZpzW1 #ilmastonmuutos #nuorisokapina #demokratia (translated)

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)
