Bijan Rezai Jahromi wrote that if the Finns Party does not win the 2027 parliamentary elections, Finland would, according to him, not progress for four years after the parliamentary term, but in the worst-case scenario, under the leadership of the National Coalition Party and the Social Democratic Party, could fall back 1,400 years in the current international situation. #Suomi #politiikka #eduskuntavaalit (translated)

Henri Vanhanen thanked Charles Lindbergh for addressing military issues based on facts. He assessed that Sanna Marin's demand to shoot down every Russian plane violating NATO airspace did not hold up under closer scrutiny, even though it sounded resolute. Vanhanen wrote that Russia's repeated violations of airspace should not be underestimated, but shooting down an armed fighter during peacetime would be a different scale of solution than intercepting a drone that has invaded airspace. According to him, it would be essential to assess whether it was a short violation or a deep incursion into Finnish territory that disregarded warnings and posed a real military threat. Vanhanen warned that shooting down a fighter could lead to the deaths of Russian soldiers and trigger a chain of events whose consequences Finland would not decide alone. He also viewed that Russia aimed to provoke and test the West's reactions, and it should not be allowed to dictate the timing or conditions for an escalation in the military situation. According to him, credible defense required both the readiness to use force and discretion in its application. https://t.co/uT4UMwcIib #turvallisuuspolitiikka #Venäjä #Nato (translated)

Miko Bergbom wrote that the changes in the polls had, in his opinion, stirred feelings among some members of the National Coalition Party, who expressed their dissatisfaction towards the Finns Party. He doubted that this would be helpful and suggested focusing on the formation of a right-wing government. Bergbom supported the continuation of spending cuts and preventing tax increases aimed at work and entrepreneurship amounting to billions of euros. His proposals included tightening immigration restrictions and continuing spending cuts, taxing foundations and trade unions, as well as reforming taxation related to work and entrepreneurship. He criticized the vice-chair of the National Coalition Party group, Pia Kauma, for focusing on being outraged by comments on social media. Bergbom suggested that this might serve as a smokescreen for building a Social Democrat-National Coalition government. Finally, he asked Martin Paasi whether he supported the continuation of the right-wing basis. #politiikka #maahanmuutto #verotus (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Sanna Ukkola's writing about the Prime Minister's meeting with Imam Sharmarke Said Aw-Mussen. According to Mäkäräinen, Ukkola regarded the meeting as ordinary work and believed that the imam, who was born in Turku, was being asked impossible questions regarding Sharia. Mäkäräinen argued that asking the imam was not a misunderstanding: in his view, the imam left open whether Sharia would be applied in Finland in family or criminal law matters. Mäkäräinen wrote that, according to him, freedom of religion did not justify the establishment of a parallel legal system alongside Finnish laws. He claimed that in Muslim-majority countries, freedom of religion, women's equality, and individual rights were not realized in liberal democracies due to Islamic doctrine and Sharia. He cited Lebanon as an example, where he believed the growth of the Muslim population and political organization undermined previous balance and led to civil war. In France, Sweden, Belgium, and Britain, he mentioned the visibility of parallel societies, honor-based violence, segregation of areas and schools, and pressure to accept practices related to Sharia. In Finland in the 2000s, Mäkäräinen claimed that groups with a Muslim background who had immigrated were connected to the overrepresentation of sexual offenses, unemployment, use of social security, and demands for their own rules. He believed that distinguishing criticism of Islam from calls for deportation did not make questions about Sharia suspect. According to Mäkäräinen, the primacy of the Finnish Constitution and criminal law should be clear in all matters, and Finland did not need to repeat the experiences of countries where the application of Sharia had been tried. https://t.co/bGpZ7VaTux #uskonnonvapaus #integratio #muslimit (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)

The author stated that later they would silence and reprimand those who, according to him, had spoken ill of Peru simply for being that country. He added that at that moment he had to go to work and asked the Peruvians to laugh, claiming that there was a lot of ignorance. #Perú #Educación #Ignorancia (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized an article in Helsingin Sanomat and said he had made corrections to it. According to him, the nonfiction writer Ari Haasio and Mattila had suggested that Finnish identity was ambiguous, compared the mistrust faced by evacuees from Karelia to current fears directed at Muslims, and stated that everyone was a descendant of immigrants. Mäkäräinen wrote that migration was an old phenomenon, but migrations from different times could not be equated. He noted that the first people arrived in what is now Finland about 11,000 years ago and believed that this did not provide a basis for equating the current migration from Afghanistan or Somalia with the arrivals of earlier traders, craftsmen, or industrial founders. He described Finlayson as an actor that built factories in capital-poor Finland, brought technology, and created jobs. Mäkäräinen compared him to a Mohammed coming from Somalia, who he described as illiterate and dependent on Kela support. He believed these examples illustrated different types of migration and claimed that there were differences in education, employment, cultural distance, and criminality. He also claimed that those coming from Afghanistan were overrepresented in rape statistics. Regarding the evacuees from Karelia, Mäkäräinen wrote that they had come from within Finland, spoke Finnish, and shared key features of Finnish culture. He said they had faced mistrust and derogatory name-calling, but believed they differed from current arrivals from Afghanistan, for example, in terms of adaptation, work ethic, and use of social security. Mäkäräinen also denied the comparison made by Haasio and Mattila between 19th-century antisemitism and the Somali discussions of the 1990s. According to him, the groups were not similar, and Jews had mostly integrated well. He argued that current migrations should be evaluated based on their impacts on employment, crime, and social security. Finally, he wrote that the continuity of society required, in his opinion, the adaptation of newcomers. #maahanmuutto #suomalaisuus #kulttuuri (translated)

Pau heard Wings question the spending of Peruvians on projects, drones, and a train that was deemed very expensive, in addition to paragliders, trucks, banners, and screens. He also wrote that later they would say they didn't have money. #Perú #GastosPúblicos #Corrupción (translated)

Pau listened to Wings and wrote that, after traveling to other countries to attend concerts, he considered respect, tolerance, and a good attitude essential. He said that at the concerts in Lima, he had seen many foreign women and that 99% had been kind, but that on the second day he was near a woman who, he recounted, showed displeasure when the audience sang or mentioned Peru. As an example of how he understood the local emotion, he recalled that in Mexico he had joined in the chant "J-Hope, brother, you are already Mexican," even though he was not Mexican. He also stated that the woman, who was Latina, ended up saying that the tour was not for Latin America. Pau listened to Wings requested that those visiting another country respect the emotions of the people who were seeing their favorite artists at home. #Respeto #Tolerancia #Conciertos (translated)

Julian Adrat criticized that Markus Söder had claimed in the program "Miosga" without contest that the AfD was hostile to the disabled and "brutally right" in Bavaria. Miosga referred to Adrat in a derogatory manner. Adrat countered Söder's statement with a series of his own examples, which he labeled as "not normal." These included the blowing up of nuclear power plants, prison sentences for internet memes, and centuries of debt approved by a dismissed parliament. He also mentioned transforming Christmas markets into fortresses, citizen income payments to foreigners, the handling of billions for masks, the purchase of babies, and calls for rocket attacks on Moscow. As further examples, Adrat cited the expansion of wind and solar plants, bike paths in Peru, the training of trans-rickshaw drivers in India, and 130,000 foreigners who roamed freely despite arrest warrants. In conclusion, he criticized that citizens had to finance the programs under threat of imprisonment. #Politik #AfD #Gesellschaft (translated)
