Mr. Spede wrote that the Greens had had to resort to the help of a man because, according to him, the aggression he described as sharp and distasteful was driving away voters who had manners or sense. He estimated that Niinistö would drive the remaining voters elsewhere. https://t.co/w7XV5opzeu #Politiikka #Suomi #Vaalit (translated)

Mika Merano wrote that it was not about class but corruption. He claimed that Members of Parliament, other significant and former politicians, and their close circles received rewards on the boards of associations funded by tax money or directed funds to their own projects. According to Merano, organizational subsidies and, for example, the funds used for Garden Helsinki were taken from elsewhere and were also reflected in the support received by poor families living on subsidies. He accused politicians of pursuing their own and their close circles' interests and expressed his anger towards such activities. #korruptio #politiikka #veronmaksajat (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that Donald Trump's Russia policy may not have been guided by a coherent strategy. According to him, Trump made decisions one by one, seeking quick political gains, and then had to fix the consequences. In his assessment, Vanhanen linked Trump's diminished commitment to arming Ukraine, the energy price increases resulting from the war in Iran, and the recent diesel trade with Russia. He believed that trade could bolster the Russian economy and give Vladimir Putin a means to pressure Ukraine into halting strikes on Russia's oil refineries. Vanhanen also criticized Trump for condemning strikes that he claimed weakened Russia's war economy. Vanhanen noted that Trump’s administration had not sought significant new funding from Congress for arming Ukraine. According to him, previously agreed deliveries had continued, and European countries had purchased American weapons for Ukraine. He stated that Trump was not fundamentally on the side of Ukraine or Europe but was primarily pursuing his own interests. According to Vanhanen, Finland's security should not be built on the assumption that there is a plan behind Trump's decisions that would turn in favor of Europe. He urged preparedness for the possibility that U.S. aid could be delayed or smaller than expected, to strengthen the availability of defense equipment and air defense, and to deepen cooperation with Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Britain, Poland, and the Baltic countries. He also believed that Europe should be able to support Ukraine and maintain economic pressure on Russia by its own means. #Trump #Venäjä #Ukraina (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that Finland had paid billions of euros because, in his opinion, the geopolitical risks posed by Russia were not taken seriously in time. He referred to Fortum's Uniper transactions, in which he claimed nearly six billion euros were lost, as well as Rosatom's assertion that it had won the arbitration concerning the Hanhikivi nuclear power project against Fennovoima. Vanhanen noted that the final resolution and possible compensation were still unclear. Vanhanen said the losses were in the billions and had also been a detriment to taxpayers. According to him, lessons should have been learned from these cases that geopolitics and security policy could not be separated from economic decision-making. He wrote that warnings about Russia's aggression had been issued for years, but economic interests often outweighed them, and he felt that Finland could no longer afford to ignore the realities of global politics until the billion-euro bill arrived. https://t.co/Omv0fRGsLq #geopolitiikka #turvallisuuspolitiikka #Suomi (translated)

She criticized the voters and accused them of acting in favor of terrorists and against the security of Europe. In the publication, she marked the Left, Greens, and Democrats and used hashtags related to terrorism, Islamism, jihadism, and reputational harm. #terrorismi #islamismi #mainehaitta (translated)
