The only tunnel project we Europeans should currently concern ourselves with, is to finally build the Helsinki-Tallinn tunnel. It would reduce a 2-hour trip to 30 minutes, and create one of the largest economic and urban hubs of Northern Europe, with a combined population of 2.5 million.

This is such a stupid track, I hate everything about it. Theres going to be a massive accident because of all those blind corners. The only positive I can think of is at least theres no missiles raining down. Yet. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

❗️🇺🇦Zelensky visited the largest shelter in Helsinki with 🇫🇮Finnish President Stubb, capable of accommodating 6,000 people Finland knows the meaning of shelters. Yesterday, Ukraine and Finland signed a letter of intent, which initiates the creation of a coalition of civil defense shelters.

Zelensky in Finland 🇫🇮 :)

"You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all the other possibilities." - Churchill Me waiting for americans to exhaust all the other possibilities:

It’s a boy! Today, Sities introduced us to her brand new baby. The first-time mum brought, Sunni, as we’ve named him, to meet her extended family and the excitement was off the charts! 🔉 More to come! Until then, reacquaint yourself with mum’s story at: swt.bio/sities

Several countries on the Eastern Flank of NATO are considering leaving the Ottawa Treaty, which bans anti-personnel mines. Yesterday, Finland and Poland both announced their intentions to leave the treaty in the coming weeks.

I found this clip and pulled out the parts Hannan's mentioned, if anyone's interested in hearing it. It's from this HoL debate, where you can hear the whole thing from about 15m04s: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

Where there is a will, there is a way. Today, Europe took important steps to invest more in defence and speed up weapons production and deliveries. The moment is now. Ukraine must get what it needs to defend itself.

So for the edification of others, here's what one of Finland's best understanders of Russia ever, president J. K. Paasikivi (1870-1956), had to say about dealing with Russians. "The immutable policy of the Russians is to get whatever they can, with as little as possible, and then ask for more." ...

Russia’s leaders have said nothing about peace. They have made a list of demands on the US, the fulfillment of which allows them to broaden the war against Ukraine. And the US simply fulfills all of these Russian demands without question. That is only a peace process in the Orwellian sense.

Te lesson we Europeans should have learned in 2022 is that appeasement doesn't work. And that is not only the case for Russia. There is no point in appeasement now to try and save the ridiculous MAGA mineral deal. We should offer Trump a cargo ship of French eggs as a final fuck you on this matter.

We don't need Washington's approval to defend Europe.

Death is coming! Quick, put on the gold hat!

Zongoloni plays nanny with Lenny, Lima Lima’s baby boy, before being joined by Murera’s daughter Mwana.

A brief summary of Trump’s idea of a ‘peace deal’: Zelenskyy: “I need help to protect my people.” Trump: “Well, you should have thought of that before you got invaded…” Full version here: youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

Europe’s disarmed state is … (also) an advantage ✅… IF we use it right - by stepping up, NOW, to arm ourselves, for the ST, MT & LT future in a smart way ❌not slowly spending a fortune trying to replace US capabilities & arming ourselves to fight the last war, not the next one. 🧵

Zelensky on Lindsey Graham's remarks about the need for his resignation: "Lindsey is a very good guy... I can grant him Ukrainian citizenship, and then I will listen to him as a citizen of Ukraine."

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered US Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions, according to the Record.

Just realised I'm lucky I got sick last year. I was about to invest into using #Milwaukee power tools for the next 10-20 years at work. I was going to buy 8000€ worth of tools alone, with batteries closer to 10k€. Thanks to trump, I'm going with #Makita, #Hilti or #Bosch instead👍

Seriously. People of America, are you still sitting on your lazy, fat arses? Why am I not seeing the national guard shooting tear gas into a angry crowd of 100k people in front of the white house? Whats going on? Are the stereotypes real? You cant move without those walmart mobility scooters?

Even if the US doesnt coward away from NATO, we should make sure that it does not matter AT ALL if they do. I never was a big fan of USA but I always thought of them as friends. Now they can all ski into the swamp. Home of the brave.... bhahahha. What a fucking joke.

I fuckin hope the US fucks off from NATO and Europe and other RESPONSIBLE members just continue as if nothing happened. I know the US is a big deal in NATO but why should NATO collapse completely if they cowardly run away? Sure, things might get chaotic and difficult but so what, as if its not alrdy

I have a little one man auto repair shop. Somehow I drifted into being "the #Ford guy." I think 70-80% of my customers are fords. I used to get offcial ford parts, unless the customer specified what they wanted. From now on, I'll make some changes. No more official FoMoCo parts, if I cant find....

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

One positive thing... at least Zelensky didnt have to sign some moronic mineral deal with that orange weirdo. Now Europe and the rest of the world needs to step up and tell the US to fuck off, at least for 4 years.

He is not just appeasing Putin, he is aligned with him. And every single client journalist, political shill & public/online cheerleader on both sides of the Atlantic is too. Against Zelensky. Against Ukraine. Against freedom. Against the most basic tenets of decency.

Trump claimed that Ukraine has no strong cards on their hands. Zelensky replied, "I did not come here to play cards."

Hey #F1, more of these stationary birds eye view camera angles please and thank you!

Not much change from last year, except maybe Williams. Red Bull still twitchy, Ferrari okay-ish, Merc hanging up there in the timing boards but a ? about race pace, Mclaren looks to be strongest by a tiny margin. Haas improving a little bit maybe. Aston is doing... eh? #F1 #Formula1 #testing

F1 testing commentary: "Its not the smell of rain but its the smell of water hitting the dry ground" In other words, nothing much happening lol. #F1 #Formula1 #testing

Haha. Russell must be feeling awesome now that Hamilton is not his teammate anymore. No more "how does it feel like driving next to the GOAT" etc. Oh wait... they are now asking how it is to drive without Hamilton. lol #F1 #Formula1 #testing

Reminder: Ukraine's situation was far more challenging three years ago than it is today, and russia is now much further from achieving its strategic goals than it was back then. Don’t fall for the propaganda being pushed from various sides

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

American friends, I warn you, if you don't overthrow the twin Trump-Musk evil immediately, using force, it's all over. For Ukraine, for Europe, and for you.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

President Macron: "Russia is already aggressive towards the whole of Europe.It's started.It's got a strong army,it's attacking us on information,cyber,migration.I can mention other things.It's destabilizing us,it's attacking our interests in Africa,it's provoking us,testing us at sea,in the air"

Big and smol

Finnish EPPGroup MEP, european parliament Foreign Affairs committee member and EPP EUDS coordinator Mika Aaltola: "The United States has given us three weeks to agree on terms for Ukraine's surrender. If we don't, the United States will withdraw from Europe." (original in Finnish) 1/2

So few people here sign up for military service. Now, not only to we have to somehow convince an apathetic generation to do so, and convince them that the threat russia poses is real, but convince them to fight for the liberty and well-being of fellow Europeans and not just themselves.

Fuck negotiating with these morons. If the participants at the Paris emergency conference had any sense, then what should be agreed upon is to send European brigades to Ukraine within this week, to secure and guard Ukraine West of Dnipro.

Our favourite bickering siblings (of sorts), Sulwe (left) and Lenny (right), are constantly trying to outwit and outshine each other. They turn the midday milk feed into a fierce race to the finish line, stout legs pumping and ears flapping. It’s far too contentious to pick a winner so it's a draw!

Part #38852 of americans not knowing how to protest. This is seriously getting more sad than funny at this point. I thought it was the home of the brave, not the weak and cowardly.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

The European far-right politicians defending JD Vance's lies from yesterday are no better than the left-wing Europeans who once defended the Soviet Union's propaganda during the Cold War. Naive idiots and traitors!

Mr Bean, reporting for turn-down service! In typical supervisory fashion, the little warthog wasn’t satisfied with bedtime arrangements until he’d seen ostriches Bam and Boozle to their room. Like all of the orphans we raise, each one here has a wild future ahead of them.
