Sammallahti wrote that in his view, the claim about the pampering of high-income earners in Finland was contradictory to the fact that the marginal tax rate exceeded 50 percent and that Finland's tax rate was among the highest in the world. He criticized the left for inciting discord with socialist class rhetoric and described the actions of the Social Democrats as ahistorical and foolish. https://t.co/otewTq3cL7 #Suomi #verot #politiikka (translated)

Vojtěch Boháč wrote that twenty-six-year-old Ilja Meškov, who according to him left Russia eight years ago, graduated from the University of Economics in Prague and a school in Texas, and after six years in the Czech Republic obtained Czech citizenship. According to Boháč, he became a partner in a Czech company focused on investments in European data centers for artificial intelligence within two years, responsible for venture capital. Boháč stated that Meškov's father is a Russian military colonel who heads a department at Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and his mother previously worked in the army and at this university. She is now, according to him, retired and has a Czech visa since this year; she travels to Prague as the wife of an active Russian colonel and career military officer. Boháč also claimed that ordinary Russians find it very difficult to obtain a visa to the Czech Republic after 2022. Citing an article that he believes described the story, Boháč posed questions about how Meškov's mother managed to obtain a visa, who has access to key data infrastructure in the EU, and how to assess the privacy of young Russians from military families who, according to him, have never actually distanced themselves from the activities of their relatives. #Investice #Kyberbezpečnost #UměláInteligence (translated)

Maranello Paddock wrote that Frédéric Vasseur had once again criticized the media after the Singapore race, asking them if they had asked as many questions to McLaren. He reminded that his two cars were in second and third places on track and that the team had asked them to pit under virtual safety car conditions. According to his account, one of the drivers preferred to stay on track and missed the pit entrance; Vasseur then requested that the team not be blamed. When asked about a possible later order to impose the pit stop, he replied that the team was not sure the cars could make it to the end and that they had simply chosen to follow the situation. #F1 #Singapour #Vasseur (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that he doubted whether Vladimir Putin had a realistic understanding of the situation in the war in Ukraine or whether he would be willing to accept information contrary to his own views. Vanhanen assessed that in Russia's system, reporting bad news to the leadership could be dangerous and that the military leadership, subordinates, or the president's inner circle might distort or filter information. Vanhanen referred to a recent assessment by the think tank ISW, which stated that Ukraine's successful counteroffensive in northern Donetsk had shattered Russia's plan to encircle the region's key defensive cities from two directions. According to him, Russia's goal of capturing the entire Donetsk region appeared to be further away as a result. Vanhanen wrote that Putin might continue the war to achieve unrealistic goals if he believed that Russia was closer to victory than reality suggests. He deemed it even more concerning that Putin might be receiving accurate information but did not want to believe it. Vanhanen emphasized that Russia's military failure, in his view, might not necessarily change Putin's goals or his desire to continue the war. He believed that an unrealistic situational picture could lead to the prolongation of the war and taking greater risks, and he appealed for continued support for Ukraine and to resist Russia's military pressure. https://t.co/Lb2advefv2 #Ukraina #Putin #sota (translated)

Saara Huhtasaari wrote that Sanna Marin had been in Italy promoting her book and told Corriere della Sera that she would likely not run for office unless Russia attacked Finland. In that case, according to Huhtasaari, Marin would have said she was available. Huhtasaari interpreted the statement as positioning herself rather than expressing a willingness to be a victim. According to her, Marin implied that conventional political work did not match her capabilities and that only a crisis threatening Finland's existence would be a sufficiently significant task. Huhtasaari compared this to the scale of historical leaders such as Kekkonen, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Lee Kuan Yew, and George Washington, using the metaphor of the "Napoleon syndrome" to describe the phenomenon. She specified that she did not mean it as a diagnosis. Huhtasaari also criticized the contradiction between Marin's book discussing hope and the self-image conveyed in the interview. She argued that the role of politics was to build structures that functioned without a single politician. As examples of such builders, she mentioned Lee Kuan Yew, who influenced Singapore's development, and Mart Laar, who made economic and institutional decisions in post-independence Estonia. Huhtasaari believed that there had not been similar builders in Finland for decades and that Marin did not belong to their ranks. According to Huhtasaari, statesmen did not announce in advance when they would return to politics, but either did their job or stepped aside. She criticized Marin for traveling to present her book, which discussed decisions made behind closed doors, and for associating a potential return with Russia's attack. Huhtasaari described this as a fantasy of seeing herself as a historical exception. #SannaMarin #Politiikka #Historia (translated)
