🇩🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦 Merz calls on EU to immediately provide Ukraine with a €90 billion loan and end Budapest's blockade. He said Europe cannot allow individual countries to block decisions affecting the security of the entire continent.

No fuel imports for months → nationwide power grid collapse → families without lights, food rotting, hospitals struggling.

Here’s the thing: Cuba has been making concessions. Opening parts of the economy, talking to US businesses, and even shifting policies that had been untouchable for decades. Did it matter? Nope. Washington basically said, “Not enough.” That tells you the goal isn’t reform. It’s full control.

Please respect Ukrainian language and follow Ukrainian pronunciation and spelling, not russian.

"I can destroy the trade! I can destroy the country!" 🤡🍊💩

And then the total sausages in Washington wonder why we aren't eager to join the latest clusterfuck they rushed into.

Trump is all about winning for Russia. He has gifted Putin a windfall at a vital time

Relying on French defense contracts is sadly a gamble right now, especially for countries near Russia. With a real chance of Kremlin-friendly candidates in the 2027 runoff, European security is at risk. We must hope another candidate makes the final round

The situation seems to be difficult enough to defuse without Israel being the chaos goblin it is. It feels SO GOOD that our right-wing government already raised Finland’s unemployment to EU record levels with their procyclical cuts and handouts for the rich.

When Danish troops deployed to Greenland in January, they brought explosives to destroy runways and blood supplies to treat the wounded. All that to counter a U.S. invasion.

This is a good time to remember that immigration judges aren’t real judges. They work for DOJ as part of the executive branch (under Bondi and Trump) and the fact that we call them judges like they’re independent arbiters would be laughable in a free and fair country.

That’s funny, because Nate Swanson, who used to be the point guy on Iran at the NSC but got fired because of Laura Loomer, warned of this in an article written four days before the war started. It was called “Why Iran Will Escalate.”

​Tanskan media raportoi, että Tanska oli valmistautunut sotaan USA:ta vastaan varastoimalla veripusseja ja valmistautumalla räjäyttämään kiitoratoja, jotta se olisi voinut estää USA:n joukkoja.

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

Vaikka Venäjän täysimittainen hyökkäyssota jatkuu nyt jo viidettä vuotta, Eurooppa rahoittaa yhä Putinin sotakassaa ostamalla Venäjältä mm. öljyä, metalleja ja lannoitteita. Tämän pitää vihdoin loppua. Allekirjoita eurooppalainen kansalaisaloite, joka vaatii kaupan lopettamista Venäjän kanssa.

USA haluaa siis käyttää itse aloittamaansa sotaan Iranissa enemmän rahaa kuin millä se on tukenut Ukrainaa koko viidettä vuotta jatkuvan sodan aikana yhteensä. Tuskin mikään tekee ilmeisemmäksi, että Ukrainan hylkäämisessä ei ole kyse USA:n kyvyttömyydestä vaan haluttomuudesta.

HOST: "Do you not think that Putin is the aggressor? He chose to cross the border, he's committing war crimes. Is there not a moral duty, to support Ukrainians as the victims in this particular conflict?" Viktor Orbán: "No, I don't think so." An ugly toad proceeds to spew russian propaganda

Very disappointed by the @nytimes.com framing here. Two allies of the Russian economy had their sanctions lifted, using the pretense of the oil price. Lifting sanctions on these two individuals will not make any difference to world oil prices. It’s ludicrous and a gift to Putin.

Upon boarding, our conductor gave everyone evacuation instructions in case of a Shahed attack on our train. As reports of terrorussia increasingly bombing passenger trains in Ukraine get lost in geopolitics & global chaos, this is a reality we can't switch off.

“This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.”

Future historians will be having eternal debates over the issue of “Everybody Really Was That Dumb” v “That Just Isn’t Humanly Possible”

>>> [Oman believed] that Witkoff and Kushner, either knowingly or through ignorance, were not feeding Trump the truth about the progress in the talks. [Attempts to brief Trump directly] deteriorated when the president switched the conversation to one of his favourite topics: shoes. <<<

Vaikuttaa siltä, että eläkeyhtiöidemme vastuullisuustyö on pahasti puutteellista. Viime syksynä Suomessa nousi kohu kun Varman, Elon ja Ilmarisen kerrottiin sijoittaneen Israelin siirtokunnissa toimiviin yrityksiin. Eläkeyhtiöt eivät ole luopuneet kyseisistäkään sijoituksista.

Bellingcat and our partners at @evidentmedia.org and @calmatters.org have tracked US Border Patrol agents, analysing over 85 hours of footage taken across the country to try and unpack the circumstances around multiple use-of-force incidents. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

I really, really, really don't understand how and why we must allow ticking time bombs like these transit the Gulf of Finland and risk a massive environmental disaster we'd have to pay to clean up. I don't understand it even in peacetime, and now they help an existential enemy.

1/ Russia is suffering huge casualties in the battle for Kostiantynivka, says a Russian soldier who is fighting there. He says that 75% of his unit of poorly-trained middle-aged men was killed in a single assault, with dogs eating the skeletonised bodies of the dead nearby. ⬇️

@hs.fi paljastaa juuri julkaistussa jutussaan eläkeyhtiöiden sijoitukset pahamaineiseen Palantiriin. Palantir tarjoaa tekoälypohjaisia taisteluratkaisuja mm. Israelin armeijalle. www.hs.fi/visio/art-20...

Samaa mieltä. Lapsiin kohdistuneiden rikosten ei pitäisi vanheta. Nämä asiat todellakin käsitellään vasta vuosikymmeniä myöhemmin – jos silloinkaan.

Rouva valtiovarainministeri voisi aloittaa niillä konkreettisilla teoilla, joilla ei heikennetä naisten asemaa työelämässä. Hallituksessa ei ole yhtäkään ihmistä joka tekisi muuta kuin puhuisi tyhjiä sanoja. Purra ei ole yhtäkään kertaa puolustanut aidosti naistenoikeuksia.

Today I am quitting my job working for Mr Trump because I just found out he's stupid. It has been the privilege of my life to work for this dipshit, who I would die for

The fish rots from the head, as they say. The US has consolidated nearly absolute power into a deeply unwell senile bigot criminal. He has no capacity for complex thought or strategy. Just smash and grab. He is surrounded by toadies and sycophants. That doesn't work all that well, geopolitically.

This is insane.

This is the Nova Poshta terminal in Zaporizhzhia after a russian strike today that injured eight people. This is the bomb shelter they have at work. Yes, a bomb shelter at their workplace, because that is the reality of having russia as a neighbor.

Näinhän se on: ankarasta mielikuvasuhmuroinnista huolimatta mikään muu puolue ei ole velkaannuttanut Suomea niin paljon kuin Kokoomus. Miten tämä yhä menee läpi? Siis, miksi kukaan muu kuin ylin tulodesiili ja rikkaimmat osingonlypsäjät äänestäisivät heitä? Varmaan joku purjehduskenkäkultti

”“Those countries that have the capacity and the will to help the United States will do that, and should do that,” Stubb said” Ei, tasavallan presidentti Stubb, eurooppalaisten ei pidä osallistua USA:n laittomaan, holtittomaan ja vaaralliseen sotaan Iranissa.

Iranin sota osoittaa, että EU torpedoi tulevaisuutensa jättämällä energiasiirtymän tekemättä. Torstain Eurooppa-neuvostossa on määrä päättää uusista tukitoimista fossiilisille, mutta EU-maiden on viimeinkin aloitettava riippuvaisuuksien purku ja siirtymä energiaomavaraisuuteen.

Russia received up to 11mln rounds of ammunition from North Korea. Important Stories obtained data on all movements of Russian ships transporting ammunition from North Korea. Over two and a half years, 4Russian ships made at least 112 trips to North Korea

1/ Leaked orders from the Russian Ministry of Defence show that Telegram is being banned immediately for operational use by Russian forces in Ukraine, with soldiers reportedly facing being sent to their deaths in assaults if they are found not to be complying. ⬇️

Delta swore to its employees and unions that it was not transporting deportees this way.

Israel tietysti kiistää. Mikäli se pitää silti paikkansa, pula koskee ehkä ensisijaisesti Arrow 3 järjestelmää. Joka tapauksessa juuri tällainen sota on yksi niistä potentiaalisista huoltovarmuusriskeistä, joita Daavidin linko järjestelmään liittyy. www.semafor.com/article/03/1...

Curious that he's happy to stand up making big boy comments about how Belgium and Europe will never be slaves to the US, and Trump will only continue crossing red lines if we don't strongly oppose him. Yet every time Russia and Putin comes up, he falls to his knees.

Jos et ole ymmärtänyt minun ja @patriziolaina.bsky.social artikkelin pointtia, mutta haluat ymmärtää sen etkä jaksa lukea tekstiä, lue edes tämä. Aika moni on tekstiämme kommentoinut lukematta sitä tai sitten tietoisesti välittämällä siitä väärää tietoa. Ymmärryksessä tuskin on ollut vikaa.

A couple and their 5 and 7 year old kids… Shot and killed in front of their 2 other kids by the IDF This would be on every front page and condemned by politicians far and wide if the victims has been Israelis And yet when they’re Palestinians… Utterly utterly shameful.

Trump last night: „We are helping NATO with Ukraine, so NATO should help the US to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.“

Pretty staggering that the FT Trump interview opens with ‘if NATO doesn’t help us sort this mess, there’ll be problems’ and ends with ‘Russia might be helping target American soldiers, but really that’s sort of fair enough - we started it’. www.ft.com/content/1ca6...

41 years old, evacuated here legally, asylum case pending, kidnapped while driving his six children (one a US citizen) to school. Dead within 24 hours. Betrayed and murdered by the United States government. 42nd confirmed and reported death in ICE custody under Trump.
