Henri Vanhanen described the recent message from the Security Police as very serious. According to him, Russia had identified possible sabotage targets in Finland's defense industry, although there were no indications of an immediate strike. Vanhanen wrote that the threat situation could change quickly and that Russia aimed to disrupt European defense industry and weaken support for Ukraine. Vanhanen demanded a systematic review of security arrangements for defense sector companies. He highlighted the importance of guarding production facilities, personnel security, subcontractors, and information systems, as well as the timely sharing of threat information by authorities and joint training for potential strikes. He suggested that the government initiate a national security assessment in cooperation with security authorities and the defense industry. According to him, this would help identify critical vulnerabilities, agree on protective measures, and ensure their funding. Vanhanen argued that securing the operational capability of the defense industry should not be left solely to the responsibility of the companies. https://t.co/wPB5qovW5y #Puolustusteollisuus #KansallinenTurvallisuus #Venäjä (translated)

Juho Hirvelä warned in his writing that the western Finn cattle, which belongs to Finland's native breeds, was on the brink of extinction according to him. He stated that the same concern applied to the eastern Finn cattle, or Kyttö, and the Lapland cow. According to Hirvelä, the Ketomo family business from Northern Finland reported that it uses milk from all three native breeds in its ice creams. The company had also raised dark bees of the north during the summer and intended to showcase native breeds at the I Love Me fair. Hirvelä thanked Ketomo for its work for native cattle and hoped for more similar businesses. He encouraged people to check out the company’s ice creams in grocery store freezers and mentioned that the fair would be held at the Helsinki Messukeskus from October 16 to 18, 2026. Hirvelä estimated that saving the native cattle required getting the animals back into production. According to him, they would not be saved in Korkeasaari Zoo or at the mercy of wild wolves. He wrote that the native cattle had helped the Finnish people during years of famine and that now it was time for people to help them. #alkuperäiskarjat #suomi #kestäväkehitys (translated)

Ossi Tiihonen wrote that 51 vaccines were under development based on mRNA and that he no longer dared to take any vaccines. He justified his position by claiming that the mRNA platform prolongs the production of foreign proteins and can alter the genome. According to Tiihonen, these were structural characteristics of the platform and not individual side effects. He stated that the PSL group believed the platform could not be fixed with small changes, but should be abandoned entirely. https://t.co/2TzPV01Wtj #rokote #mRNA #terveys (translated)

Katariina Souri wrote that the price of food had risen by 25.1 percent since August 2021, while the rise in other consumer prices was around 18.1 percent according to her. She referred to a news article from Helsingin Sanomat and an estimate from researchers at the Natural Resources Institute Finland, which indicated that the necessity of food reduced the pressure on stores to lower prices. Souri noted that HS had not addressed the concentration of trade as a reason. According to Souri, the combined market share of the S-group and Kesko in the retail grocery sector was 82.5 percent, with the S-group controlling nearly half of the grocery market. She wrote that Finnish trade was the most concentrated in Europe and that the S and K groups were among the ten most profitable trading entities in the world. According to her, the combined operating profit of the S-group and SOK Corporation had grown from 280 million euros in 2021 to 495 million euros in 2025. In the first half of the current year, the profit had improved by 20 percent compared to the previous year. Souri claimed that the price received by primary producers and the profit development of the S-group had not progressed in the same proportion. According to her, a farmer or rancher was left with approximately 4–12 cents from a normal food euro, depending on the product, while most of the share went to the trade and the tax authorities. She considered the agricultural subsidies to effectively flow significantly into the profits and growth of the S-group and criticized the influence of the chains on zoning and legislation. Souri assessed that the duopoly in trade weakened the position of small businesses and free competition and restricted innovations and consumer choices. She wrote that politicians had failed to intervene in the situation. Additionally, she reported that Pellervo Economic Research had predicted at the end of September that food prices would rise in the following year as well. #ruoka #hintanousu #kauppa (translated)

Henri Vanhanen warned about Finland's security and wrote that according to Denmark's Security and Intelligence Service PET, Russia had begun sabotage operations against Danish defense companies. According to him, companies supplying weapons and equipment to Ukraine were particularly targeted. Vanhanen stated that PET assessed that Moscow had aimed to reduce European support for Ukraine through intimidation and harassment and was now trying to harm weapons production and supply chains. Vanhanen wrote that perpetrators of the strikes were recruited via social media and were first paid for photographing and gathering intelligence on targets, and later for sabotage. According to him, this allowed operations without the direct involvement of Russian intelligence officers. He warned that Russia aimed to extend the effects of the war to NATO countries and also assessed that Finland's defense industry's production facilities, subcontractors, personnel, and supply chains could be targets. Vanhanen believed that protecting them required cooperation between companies and authorities, and urged NATO to assess when individual sabotage attacks would constitute a systematic campaign against the alliance's defense capability. https://t.co/CgjnDAjDhY #Turvallisuus #Ukraina #Venäjä (translated)

Veikko Sorvaniemi stated that the nicotine pouches had shown what he believed to be an incapacity to handle matters. He said that there had been a debate in Finland for over a year about what kinds of pouches could be sold, and that production at the Pietarsaari factory was now shifting to Sweden. According to Sorvaniemi, the parliament members of the ruling party, which supported less regulation, had simultaneously been horrified by the transfer of jobs and tax revenues to Sweden. He considered this to be a result of senseless regulation and asked whether the government's own decisions had come as a surprise to the parliament members. #sääntely #nikotiinipussit #työpaikat (translated)

Maria Rautanen wrote that a law was being prepared in Finland that would require the installation of solar panels on existing public buildings larger than 250 m² starting in 2031. She linked the preparation to the EU's Energy Efficiency Directive for Buildings and asked whether the effects of the directive were adequately assessed in Finnish conditions. Rautanen argued that Finland could not be compared to sunny Mediterranean countries that used a lot of fossil fuels. She noted that Finland's electricity consumption emission factor was only 26 g CO₂/kWh in 2025 and pointed out that solar panels produced energy mostly in the summer when the electricity system was already low-emission and energy consumption was lower. She wrote that the solar panel production chain was heavily concentrated in China and that a lot of coal-generated electricity was still used in their manufacturing. According to Rautanen, 78,000 MW of new coal power was commissioned in China in 2025. Rautanen asked who would pay for the new investments while municipalities were balancing their budgets and welfare areas were looking for savings. She demanded a calculation of the costs and financing of the investments, as well as how much the solar panels made in China would reduce Finland's CO₂ emissions over their entire lifespan. She also questioned whether the panels would offset their carbon footprint during production and assessed that the rationality of the directive in Finland could not be determined without a calculation based on Finnish conditions. https://t.co/ba6sqYwZ2l #Aurinkoenergia #Energiatehokkuus #Suomi (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that Ukraine had announced the use of its own FP-7 ballistic missile in battle for the first time. According to him, President Volodymyr Zelensky had reported on the first combat use and stated that the next phase would be production. Vanhanen noted that the missile manufacturer, Fire Point, claimed the FP-7 had a range of about 200 kilometers, a warhead weight of 150 kilograms, and a speed of up to 1,500 meters per second. He stated that the missile could target command posts, air defense systems, air bases, and ammunition depots, for example. Vanhanen pointed out that there had been no information on the first launch about what it struck or whether the missile hit its target. He wrote that the military significance of the system would depend on whether the missiles could be produced sufficiently, affordably, and accurately. According to him, approximately seven months had passed since the first known test launch. Vanhanen mentioned that Fire Point was also developing the FP-9 missile, which aimed for a range of over 800 kilometers and a warhead of up to 800 kilograms. He emphasized that the FP-9 was not yet an operational weapon. According to Vanhanen, the significance of the FP-7 would ultimately depend on whether it could be put into production. https://t.co/MWd1JlMbu8 #Ukraina #ohjukset #sota (translated)

In Finland, the price of diesel may rise to over three euros per liter due to a possible export ban by the United States and production disruptions in Russia and the Middle East, estimates an expert from the Chamber of Commerce. #dieselhinta #polttoaine #geopolitiikka (translated)

Hyvää huomenta. Kauppalehdestä sain lukea, että Fingrid nostaa kantaverkkomaksuja 4 %:lla vuoden 2027 alusta. Tänä vuonna se nosti niitä 8 %. Korotukset johtuvat tuulivoimasta ja datakeskuksista. "Korotuksen taustalla on Fingridin mukaan mittava, tulevia asiakastarpeita (= datakeskukset) ennakoiva investointiohjelma sekä laajenevan sähköjärjestelmän kustannusten kasvu. Yhtiön mukaan sen toiminnan kustannukset ovat kasvaneet viime vuosina merkittävästi sähköjärjestelmän kasvun ja tuotantorakenteen muutoksen (= tuulivoima) seurauksena." kertoo Kauppalehti. Kuten olen postaillut, niin kuluttajat maksavat kantaverkkokuluja 80 % tyhjästä siirtomaksuissaan. Ja syynä siihen ovat #tuulivoima ja #datakeskukset. #tuulivoima #datakeskukset #sähkönsiirto

Kiitos HS, että autatte demokratiaa toteutumaan: Halusitte tai ette, SML on demokraattisen maan virallinen rekisteröity puolue, jonka pj Kuru on. Kuuntelija-podcast ei kannata Sinimustaa liikettä eikä kukaan tuotantotiimistämme omista SML-puoluekirjaa. Silti uskomme, että jokaisella suomalaisella on oikeus kuulla, mitä tällä ”pelottavalla rasistilla” on sanottavaa. Näin toteutuvat sekä demokratia että sananvapaus, vaikka HS ei näistä kahdesta niin välitäkään. Se, ken haluaa vaientaa Kurun, on epädemokraattinen senusuuria ajava autoritääri. Ethän vain katso Kurun jaksoa, kiitos #demokratia #sananvapaus #Suomi

Venäjän jatkuvalle häiriköinnille ja uhkailulle Euroopassa pitäisi asettaa nykyistä selvempi hinta. Minulla olisi tähän konkreettinen ehdotus. Euroopan pitäisi sopia etukäteen periaatteesta, jonka mukaan Venäjän meihin kohdistaman painostuksen lisääminen johtaa Ukrainan sotilaallisen tuen kasvattamiseen. Ei siis joka kerta viikkojen keskustelua siitä, miten vastaamme. Venäjä tietäisi jo etukäteen, mitä sen toiminnasta seuraa. Tämä pitäisi rakentaa portaittain. Ensimmäisenä kasvattaisin Ukrainan pitkän kantaman iskukykyä. Lisää Storm Shadow/SCALP-ohjuksia ja niiden tuotantoa Ukrainassa. Taurus-ohjukset mukaan. Eurooppalaista ATACMS-tuotantoa pitäisi vauhdittaa ja Britannian kehittämien uusien yli 500 kilometrin kantaman aseiden tuotanto saada nopeasti suureen mittakaavaan. Toiseksi, laittaisin huomattavasti enemmän eurooppalaista rahaa Ukrainan omaan pitkän kantaman ase- ja droonituotantoon. Ukrainalla on jo paljon osaamista ja toimivia järjestelmiä. Euroopan tehtävä olisi mahdollistaa niiden valmistaminen aivan toisessa mittakaavassa. Kolmanneksi poistaisin tarpeettomat rajoitukset sille, miten Ukraina voi käyttää lännestä saamiaan pitkän kantaman aseita Venäjän sotilaallista hyökkäyskykyä vastaan. Tämän lisäksi Ukraina tarvitsee jatkuvasti lisää ilmatorjuntaa. Patriot-, NASAMS- ja IRIS-T-järjestelmien ohjuksia tarvitaan paljon, jotta Venäjä ei pysty samalla kasvattamaan omaa ohjus- ja droonipainettaan Ukrainaa vastaan. Periaate olisi lopulta hyvin helppo ymmärtää: Jos Venäjä lisää painostusta Eurooppaa vastaan, me lisäämme Ukrainan kykyä käydä sotaa Venäjää vastaan. Jos painostus jatkuu, seuraava porras otetaan käyttöön. Tämä olisi samalla tukea Ukrainalle, Euroopan oman turvallisuuden vahvistamista ja konkreettista pelotetta. Venäjän pitäisi joutua laskemaan jo ennen seuraavaa operaatiotaan, kuinka paljon vahvemman Ukrainan se on valmis sillä ostamaan. #Ukraina #Venäjä #Eurooppa

Iso uutinen 👇 Zelenskyin mukaan Trump on tehnyt lopullisen päätöksen sallia Patriot-torjuntaohjusten valmistamisen Ukrainassa. Jos päätös materialisoituu sopimukseksi ja tuotannoksi, kyse olisi Ukrainalle erittäin merkittävästä asiasta. Ballistiset ohjukset ovat tällä hetkellä Ukrainan ilmapuolustuksen pahimpia ongelmia. Niiden torjuntaprosentti on tänä vuonna painunut ajoittain alle 20 prosenttiin samalla, kun Venäjä on lisännyt niiden käyttöä. Patriot on käytännössä Ukrainan tärkein järjestelmä ballististen ohjusten torjumiseen. Oma Patriot-ohjusten tuotanto vähentäisi Ukrainan riippuvuutta rajallisista länsimaisista varastoista. Tälle talvelle siitä ei kuitenkaan vielä ole ratkaisuksi. Zelenskyi itse arvioi aiemmin, että tuotannon käynnistäminen voisi viedä noin 1–1,5 vuotta. Siksi Ukraina tarvitsee nyt lisää valmiita torjuntaohjuksia. Pidemmällä aikavälillä tämä voisi kuitenkin ratkaista yhden Ukrainan ilmapuolustuksen keskeisistä pullonkauloista. #Ukraina #Patriot #Ilmapuolustus
