Vihreiden puoluevaltuuston kokouksessa arvioin kriittisesti kokoomuksen talouspolitiikan näyttöjä.

Tulokset ovat olleet riihestä, vuodesta ja hallituskaudesta toiseen sen verran heikkoja, että harhakäsitys kokoomuksesta talousosaajana voitaneen vihdoin jättää taakse.

How many more times are we going to choose to lose to Russia? How many millions of people are we going to abandon to oppression? Why aren't we making it harder for the Kremlin to sway elections and choke democracies one by one?

Scholz is a pathetic & utter disgrace.
After over 1000 days of Russian slaughter, during which he repeatedly delayed aid which could’ve saved 🇺🇦 lives, he’s now openly using Kremlin nuclear fearmongering as his main campaign strategy.
A disgrace to his office & our country.

🎯 This is the logic of bullies and dictators that free world leaders never grasp. They are used to seeking compromise, while autocrats like Putin see negotiation as weakness and lack of deterrence as a green light. “You could stop me but you don’t, so you are weak or don’t care.”
Only reason Ru isn't committing such sabotage every day is they're unsure of the reaction: 1) US/Europe decide to abandon Ukr in hopes of avoiding more attacks; 2) US/Europe decide enough is enough and fully back Ukr's victory. The more US/Europe signal the first response, the more Ru will escalate.
U.S. intelligence officials warned American defense companies on Thursday to increase security precautions following several acts of sabotage in Europe that officials have blamed on Russia.

An investigation found that Russia is buying Western microchips for fighter jets and missiles through companies linked to Lukashenko and his inner circle 😡

It’s so frustrating how for 3 years Russia has been able to evade sanctions and buy Western parts used to kill Ukrainians

Scholz is damaging European security and Germany's reputation, and for a long time. Worst of all though is that Scholz behavior cost Ukrainian lives on a daily basis. Children continue to die because Germany enabled Russia, and keep enabling it while Russia commit genocide against Ukrainians.

Remember how Biden blocked, delayed and obstructed F-16s being sent to Ukraine. Denmark wanted to send them in February 2022, but Biden said no. Then it was one excuse by another. Imagine how much suffering could have been prevented if Ukraine would have had F-16s from the very beginning.
Today, our F-16 pilots shot down about 10 air targets. The consequences of the combined attack on our infrastructure in Rivne, Lviv, Dnipro, Volyn and Odesa regions are being eliminated, President Zelensky said in a first response on the Russian missile attacks.

So investigating Israel is fine. How about the language on Russia from the Pope?
Pope Francis has called for an investigation into whether Israel's strikes on the Gaza Strip constitute genocide, according to excerpts from an upcoming book.

As I & others have been trying to tell Western officials & political leaders for years, Putin is provoked by weakness, not strength. Scholz’s phone call to Putin & his refusal to let Ukraine have Taurus & Trump’s criticism of Zelenskyy for not ceding territory all show weakness.
On Friday, Scholz called Putin to push for de-escalation

Just earlier, Scholz defended his decision not to give Ukraine long-range missiles

This morning, Russia launched a massive wave of drones and missiles against Ukraine's cities and energy infrastructure
