Henri Vanhanen criticized Donald Trump's actions in the Ukraine war, noting that he declared agreements about which there was uncertainty, while pressuring Ukraine in a way that benefited Vladimir Putin. As a recent example, Vanhanen pointed to Trump’s announced energy ceasefire. According to him, Volodymyr Zelensky heard about it practically for the first time from the media, Russia had not confirmed the agreement, and continued, according to Zelensky, attacks on Ukraine's power plants. Vanhanen asked what kind of ceasefire it was if the other party did not know what had been agreed upon. He suggested that Zelensky had to be cautious of Trump’s criticism to avoid being blamed for obstructing peace. Vanhanen referred to the Financial Times reporting that the United States threatened to cut off arms and intelligence supplies to Ukraine unless the country stopped attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. He also wrote that Trump agreed to buy Russian diesel, demanded Ukraine to cease attacks on Russian oil refineries, and encouraged a change of leadership in Ukraine. Vanhanen estimated that the war in Iran and the resulting fuel prices, the upcoming midterm elections, and the need to show results might explain Trump’s urgency to secure an agreement. According to him, Trump aimed for cheaper diesel and a visible peace political achievement, while Putin would benefit from a decrease in attacks on Russia’s energy sector. Vanhanen noted that the alignment of these goals seemed to occur at Ukraine’s expense. Vanhanen stated that he did not oppose a ceasefire if it protected Ukrainians and also bound Russia. However, he observed that for Trump, merely declaring an agreement seemed to suffice, even without information about its terms or Russia's commitment. Vanhanen assessed that Russia would benefit from a situation in which the United States sought a quick agreement and Ukraine was cautious not to offend Trump. In such conditions, he believed Putin could gain concessions from Trump without Russia needing to win against Ukraine at the negotiating table. #Ukraina #Trump #Venäjä (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Yle for often choosing female journalists to incite moral panic, according to him. He interpreted Yle's analysis as showing that support for the National Coalition Party among women had dropped to 12 percent and that the Finns Party had surpassed this party. However, according to Mäkäräinen, women were not punishing the National Coalition Party for its policies but for its austerity measures, and men were supporting the state. Mäkäräinen believed that the decline in women's support was due to the impact of budget cuts on sectors predominantly employing women, such as social services, organizations, and public services. In his view, this did not make the cuts unjust, but rather highlighted their effects. He mentioned the Social Democratic Party, the Left Alliance, and the Centre Party as the most popular parties among women and claimed that the left proposed tax increases amounting to nine billion euros. According to Mäkäräinen, the costs of these increases would fall on men who work overtime, start businesses, and pay progressive taxes. Mäkäräinen assessed that the issue for the National Coalition Party was its attempt to soften difficult decisions, while the Finns Party spoke about the same issues more directly. He argued that men were underrepresented in the care sector and overrepresented in dangerous jobs, entrepreneurship, and at the high end of the tax revenue spectrum. In his opinion, the National Coalition Party should maintain its stance even if it lost some female support, as this could help it win over voters who support the sustainability of the state. https://t.co/DfwLyPN03s #Politiikka #NaistenOikeudet #Taloustieto (translated)

Mika Merano wrote that he considers the support development of the Finns Party to be positive. According to him, the party's support had tended to rise before the parliamentary elections and was greater than the polling numbers in the elections. He hoped that the development would continue until the elections and assessed that the support for the Finns Party would mean less corruption and immigration as well as prioritizing citizens. Merano congratulated the Left Alliance on their record results. He assessed that this was due to positive work and offering genuine alternatives, although he considered these alternatives to be poor and extremely harmful himself. He was not surprised by the Greens' support remaining stagnant, as he believed the Left Alliance already offered everything that the Greens did, and described the Greens' communication as sour whining. Regarding the situation of the Centre Party, Merano wrote metaphorically that the party's sun had set behind the culverts. He described the Centre Party's election speeches as promises of cheap fuel for tractors. #perussuomalaiset #eduskuntavaalit #suomi (translated)

Sami Antinniemi wrote that a work of art called Orange Plague had been brought to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, depicting Donald Trump riding on the back of a poor person. According to him, it seemed that the EU was trying to destroy its credibility as quickly as possible. https://t.co/L2vFxJ9Yyx #EU #taide #Trump (translated)

Martin Paasi asked Timo Stewart to clarify Mitzner's observations and referred to the videos he linked to, in which, according to him, Clinton stated that nothing had happened to the Palestinians. According to Paasi, it seemed that the Palestinians had not seized the opportunities presented to them. He questioned why the situation was not as Mitzner and Clinton claimed. #Palestiina #Mitzner #Clinton (translated)

The author estimates that Russia's strikes on Kyiv's bridges would make the Kerch Bridge a logical target for Ukraine's counterattack. He described the bridge as an artificial connection through which Russia linked the occupied Crimea to its own territory, as well as a supply and symbolic route for the occupation. #Ukraina #Krim #sota #FI #RU #UA #CR (translated)

Mikko Välimaa wrote to Timo Stewart that the matter could be interpreted in many ways, but outwardly it often seemed that the goal was to limit Yle's journalism and at the same time Finnish public discourse. He lamented that the issue had to be discussed on an American X platform. #journalismi #keskustelu #sosiaalinenmedia (translated)

Mats Uotila viewed that Defense Minister Häkkänen had not acted wrongly by strengthening Finland's defense and stated that it was the minister's most important task. He criticized the SDP, which he claimed organized a worthless spectacle in Parliament this week and was willing to undermine crucial security cooperation in pursuit of gaining popularity points. Uotila reminded that the SDP had previously supported the acquisition of David's sling during the previous government term. He mentioned that the party had voted against Häkkänen's trust in Parliament due to his visit to Israel. According to Uotila, the purpose of the trip was to ensure spare parts and maintenance for the air defense system ordered by the SDP from Israel. Uotila wrote that not all necessary defense materials could be obtained from Europe and believed that Finland's security should be prioritized. In his view, the SDP did not seem willing to do so. #SuomenPuolustus #turvallisuus #politiikka (translated)

– Kun satelliittikuvista tarkastelimme näitä yli 300 hehtaarin hakkuita, näyttää siltä, että kaavan mukaisista säästettävistä luontokohteistakin neljä on nyt jo kyllä jyrätty, Suomen Luonnonsuojeluliiton puheenjohtaja Hanna Halmeenpää kertoo MTV Uutisille. #Google #ympäristö #Muhos

Rehellisesti sanottuna alkaa vaikuttaa siltä, että tavoitteena on oikeistosta nousevan järjestelmään ja rälssiin kohdistetun kritiikin tukahduttaminen leimaamalla se joksikin vaaralliseksi tai ainakin vihjailla siinä olevan jotain epäilyttävää. Ylen ja vasemmistopoliitikkojen lisäksi vihjailua on tehnyt pari muutakin tahoa viime aikoina. Rehellinen ja suora puhe tai nykyisen poliittisen eliitin, jonka kanssa perinnemedia on epäpyhässä liitossa, kritisointi ei ole ääri- tai laitaoikeistolaisuutta saatika väärin tai yhteiskunnalle haitallista. On luonnollista ja odotettavaa, että ne instituutiot ja järjestelmät, jotka ovat olemassa vain siksi, ettei niiden olemassaoloa ole kyseenalaistettu riittävästi, aloittavat mustamaalauskampanjan, kun huomaavat asemansa olevan uhatun. Se on myös merkki siitä, että puheella ja kritiikillä on merkitystä. Kritisoiva ja muutosta vaativa joukko on jo kasvanut niin suureksi ja on niin heterogeeninen, ettei jonkun yhden ihmisen tai ryhmän leimaaminen ei-toivotuksi auta. Jatkaakaahan paremman tulevaisuuden edestä puhumista ja tekemistä. Se ei ole laita- tai äärimitään, vaan isänmaallisuutta sekä rakkautta omaa kansaa, kieltä, kulttuuria ja perinnettä sekä Suomen olemassaoloa ja tulevaisuutta kohtaan. #politiikka #kritisointi #Suomi

Näyttää siltä, että julkinen tuki läpipolitisoituneelle Helsinki pride-järjestölle on tulossa tiensä päähän tai ainakin pienenemässä merkittävästi. Hyvä. Aidot kansalaisjärjestöt tulevat aina toimeen ilman julkista tukea, eikä varsinkaan aatteellisille järjestöille pidä veronmaksajien rahaa antaa. Tämän sanottuani korjaan erityisesti vasemmistossa elävää harhaluuloa: Se, ettei halua antaa julkista rahaa Pride-järjestölle ei tarkoita sitä, että vastustaisi seksuaalivähemmistöjen oikeuksia. Esimerkiksi minä uskon vahvasti siihen, että jokaisella, myös vähemmistöillä, täytyy olla samat oikeudet lain edessä sekä vapaus elää turvallista oman näköistään elämää, kunhan eivät niin tekemällä estä muiden vastaavia oikeuksia. Mutta en halua, että kansalaiset pakotetaan tukemaan rahallisesti inhokkiaatteitaan. Tai, että aatteellisia tunnuksia tuodaan valtuustosaleihin, ministeriöihin tai muualle julkishallintoon, oli kyse sitten pride-lipuista, uskonnollisista tunnuksista tai puoluepoliittisista tunnuksista. Tällainen tolkun linja ei polje tai vaaranna kenenkään oikeuksia, päin vastoin. Hallinnon aatteellinen neutraalius varmistaa, etteivät myöskään vähemmistöihin aidon vihamielisesti suhtautuvat ideologiat, kuten islamismi, kommunismi tai natsismi, pääse vahingossakaan ottamaan kuristusotetta päätöksentekokoneistostamme. Siksi myös sateenkaariyhteisön on syytä olla tyytyväinen, että järjestötuet pienenevät ja niitä kohdistetaan järkevämmin. Näillä saatesanoilla kannustan kaikkia suomalaisia tukemaan itselleen tärkeiksi kokemiaan kansalaisjärjestöjä. #Terestroika https://t.co/NqFVwD0ekj #HelsinkiPride #Kansalaisjärjestöt #Oikeudet

Ensimmäinen loman jälkeinen työpäivä, pitkä sellainen, Meilahden Siltasairaalassa syöpätautien vuodeosastolla on ohi ja nyt odottelen bussia jolla pääsen kotiin. Taas kerran tajuan sen että työni suola ovat potilaskontaktit jotka tekevät kiireisestä työstä todella mielekästä. https://t.co/7BLhBe497z #työ #terveydenhuolto #potilaat
