”Matkailuala ajaa omaa etuaan. Se on sen tehtävä. Opetusministerin tehtävä on toinen. Hänen pitäisi katsoa asiaa koululaisten, opettajien, perheiden ja opetuksen järjestäjien näkökulmasta." puheenvuoro.uusisuomi.fi/vaino-kuukka/k…

😳 A Finnish woman visited Karelia — territory the Soviet Union once seized from Finland — and was shocked by the poverty and decay That’s basically the essence of the Kremlin’s Soviet mindset: invade a successful country, sacrifice hundreds of thousands of lives, seize territory — and turn it into a depressing dump.

Hyvä Suomi!

I appreciate the intense interest in my column. For skeptics, why not agree on Red Cross and lawyer visits for the 9,000 Palestinian "security" prisoners? If you think these abuse allegations are false, such monitoring visits would be protective. So why not?

Kevin O’Leary claims people opposing his massive Utah data center are being “bussed in.” But we talked to protesters. They’re locals, and they’re pissed at this millionaire swooping in. "I don't understand why Utah is letting a Canada company come in and take advantage of us.”

If you don’t think Donald Trump has completely lost his marbles, then you need to watch this.

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

”Suomen tekoälykehitys on harhateillä, jos maa rakennetaan täyteen ulkomaisten digijättien datakeskuksia, sanoo 60 vuotta täyttävä Risto Siilasmaa.” ”Suomeen on päätetty rakentaa 17 uutta datakeskusta, jotka täydellä teholla toimiessaan söisivät kahden ydinvoimalan sähkön.” hs.fi/visio/art-2000…

Hugh Grant’s classic British deadpan stole the show during Richard Curtis’ Honorary Oscar speech. Absolute legend.

Chris Murphy: "He's not telling the truth. But if you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz. That is extraordinary and cataclysmic for the world."

The White House wonders why Europe won’t rally behind America in Iran. Maybe start by asking why your Vice President is flying to Budapest to have a warm chat with Viktor Orban, the man running a Russian influence operation from inside NATO’s borders. While Europe has been bleeding money and weapons to stop Russian aggression, Hungary has been blocking NATO decisions, sheltering Russian intelligence, and doing Moscow’s diplomatic dirty work at every turn. Orban isn’t America’s friend. He’s Putin’s man in Brussels. And JD Vance calls him a “good friend.” Europe is supposed to line up behind a war that had no plan for day two, no strategy for the Strait of Hormuz, and no consultation with allies beyond Israel. A war that has already sent oil past $100 a barrel and left one of America’s most powerful warships reportedly retreating toward the Indian Ocean. You don’t get to lecture Europe about loyalty while embracing the man working to destroy the alliance from within, and then demand backup for a war you started without asking anyone.

Som alla ukrainare vet går det inte att försvara sig mot massiva drönarattacker med bara stridsflygplan. Det blir helt enkelt för dyrt. Finska folkets förtroende för sitt försvar är starkt. Men hur bra det är vet man först när någonting verkligen händer. dn.se/varlden/anna-l…

@tontoantero @AtteKorhola Tämäkin on totta.

@bettina_yle @AtteKorhola Oikeuslaitoksen ei pidä yhtään ottaa huomioon, mitä amerikkalaiset konservatiivikristityt ajattelevat tuomiosta.

Mahtava päivä kertomaan kaikille, että vihapuheelle, panettelulle ja ihmisten seksuaalisuuden suuntautumisen arvostelulle ja häpäisylle on nyt Suomessa asetettu rajat.Toivottavasti myös Päiviä tukeneet amerikkalaiset anti-gender lobbyjärjestöt säikähtävät. hs.fi/suomi/art-2000…

Inferno at Russia's Baltic Sea port. This is what the Ust-Luga oil terminal looks like now after the Ukrainian airstrikes, according to Russian media reports. Even two tankers from Russia's shadow fleet are burning.

It is said that NATO was saved at The Hague summit last summer. I guess NATO will have to be saved again at the Ankara summit this summer.

Hungary’s Foreign Minister passed intelligence to Lavrov. Let that sink in. A NATO ally. An EU member. Feeding information to Russia waging war on European soil. This is not neutrality. This is not sovereignty. This is betrayal, and it demands consequences, not diplomacy.

First, the Omani FM came out and revealed that there was a deal on the table that met Trump's demands, but that he instead chose war. And now, it is revealed that the British National Security Advisor was also part of the talks, and he too attests to the fact that A) there was no imminent threat from Iran, B) Trump could have gotten a surprisingly good deal if he stuck to diplomacy. But the perhaps most damning quote in the story comes at the end, attributed to an unnamed diplomat: “We regarded Witkoff and Kushner as Israeli assets that dragged a president into a war he wants to get out of.” theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…
