And who is surprised?

No, they have not always been there for NATO

Not true picture of the total aid. Trump cut aid to Ukraine in 2025. Europe picked up the cost, also cost of US weapons.

Turkey's Foreign Ministry reiterated it does not recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea on the twelfth anniversary of the illegitimate referendum, calling it a violation of international law and reaffirming support for Ukraine's territorial integrity. #Ukraine

Take Iranians at a face value: call them and agree on transponder code to be used in order to have safe passage through the Hormuz. And then sail. After a week, oil prices are back at what they were before US & Israel attack. Note: US & Israel do not bother. united24media.com/latest-news/...

Biden administration helped Ukraine. Trump administration cut all help.

Trump administration gave nothing to Ukraine in 2025. So now Trump is lying about that, too.

True that!

A good article about the “Finnish model” of #defence. I particularly liked it mentioned the volunteer-run “Soldier’s Home” canteens and explained they represent much more than the best donuts ever. Also mentions the #welfare state. A good reminder to us Finns too. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

True this - MAD rule but it rules!

Vastuutonta AI:n käyttöä. Maalitustietoja ei ollut päivitetty, joten AI piti koulua osana sotilaallista kohdetta. JA kouluun iskettiin Israelin ja Venäjän suosimalla tuplaiskulla: ensimmäisen jälkeen odotettiin, että pelastautuneet ja pelastajat olivat koossa ja iskettiin sitten uudestaan.

I think the real numbers for whole population (women included) is a bit higher than the map shows, closer to 80%. Anyways, men only are about 85% (and most reservists are men).

🔸 The world’s biggest free trade zone, covering 2 billion people 🔸 Unmatched access for EU companies, big and small, to India’s fast-growing economy 🔸 Tariff cuts on 96.6% of EU goods, saving EU businesses €4 billion every year 🔸 Stronger ties between the world’s two largest democracies

The EU and India have just concluded negotiations on their biggest ever free trade agreement. What does this mean? ⬇️

Please share. 💔

🇩🇰🇸🇪 Denmark troops were ordered to be combat-ready in Greenland and requested Swedish military support, - DR Soldiers were deployed with live ammunition as part of exercise. The move followed concerns about a possible U.S. threat to Greenland.

NOTE: The politics of grievance has a shelf life, and Trump is incapable of pivoting to governing when the anger stops working.

And now something positive: solar and wind energy production in the EU surpasses fossil energy for the first time. ☀️ 💨 #TippingPoint Source: dr.dk

At Davos, the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Budanov explains how China has been using Russia, charging increasingly outrageous sums for basic goods because sanctions have cut them off from the world.

At the Davos forum, Budanov shared his views regarding the progress toward ending the war in Ukraine.

So why didn't anyone call that the emperor had no clothes/ coherence when he spoke for over an hour?

Gov. Newsom at Davos rips into world leaders who think they can appease Trump: “I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders.…this is pathetic”

Footage shows Danish troops arriving in Greenland as part of a new military deployment. Among the personnel who landed on the island is Major General Peter H. Boysen, Chief of the Danish Army Command. #Greenland

And that was based purely in publicized US data of what length landing strips might be needed for C-17 and C-130 planes of 82nd Airborne in winter conditions.

That's 4 in priority A and 3 in priority B.

Denmark seems to be readying for a hard ball play. If they close the landing strips needed to ground the special troops' heavy equipment, the US commander might have to rethink their entry eg air --> seaborne. That takes time. And that time can be used to fortify Danish troops further. Re: Hostomel

Well. Mobilizing the U.S. Army arctic specialists is not a good sign. I’ve trained with some of these guys. Can’t imagine they all are happy about the situation. But will they follow insane orders? Most likely. www.thedefensenews.com/news-details...

... will they be enough to deter quick action(s)?

Trip line troops...

Thank you, 86%.

Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom release a joint statement:

I am in awe of military prowess of 2(two) Finnish military officers involving in Denmark defence and their ability to invoke such butthurt in USA. But seriously having said that I admit that and I🇵🇱 am ashamed Poland did not send our troops too.

NEWS: Canada just checkmated the United States. Breaking with the U.S., Canada has struck a major deal with China: Ottawa will cut its 100% tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for dramatically lower tariffs on Canadian farm products.

I remember a time when this headline would have been in The Onion, not Financial Times

No onpa eroja ihan yllättävästi.

Wow - !

Absolutely! ...and yet there are "useful idiots" (KGB term, not mine) who fall for this every single time!

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reports from Kupyansk, where Ukrainian forces conducted successful counterattacks. Nevertheless, it is quite a move. That man has balls of steel.

Uups!

Also Ukraine needs to do some serious rethinking. For example, they need to lower their military service age from 25 to 19, the best age cohorts for military service: eg we in Finland call every male (and voluntary female) to serve at the age of 19. They might get permission to delay until age of 28

A few thoughts on the new US national security strategy that was released today. 🧵 www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

"Witkoff is prolonging the conflict. He is not promoting peace. His call to Ushakov was not, as Trump said last night, a normal negotiating tactic.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

🫣 One in five Russians believes the Sun revolves around the Earth, — survey by the Institute of Psychology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. 16% are certain that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time. 90% of respondents could not name a single living world-class Russian scientist.

Olen jakanut kehuja siitä, että ei silloin hyydytty tuntemattomien(kin) uhkien edessä, joten pitää myös kritiikkiä jakaa kun siihen on aihetta. (Eiköhän tämä ole havaittu siellä puolueen nykyjohdon piireissä kun siellä osataan olla vaaleja odotellessa hiljaa tehdyistä korjausliikkeistä).
