@jurgen_nauditt Trump`s time in power and grip of power is weakening. The miserable war in Iran seems to be the final blow right on the face!

The war with Iran enters its sixth week; peace talks seem unlikely – Reuters The stakes are high for Trump, and public discontent is growing. The long-term damage to the global economy is increasing. No matter what Trump does, it will end in bankruptcy or disaster.

@RpsAgainstTrump How many times do you (Trump) have to repeat your threats without doing anything!? Could you even once complete your threats and promises!

Lindsey Graham: “I just had a great conversation with POTUS. I totally support his ultimatum to the Iranian regime to open up the Strait of Hormuz and to do a peace deal. A massive military operation awaits Iran if they choose poorly... After speaking with President Trump this morning, I am completely convinced that he will use overwhelming military force against the regime if they continue to impede the Strait of Hormuz and refuse a diplomatic solution to achieve our military objectives. If it’s not clear to Iran and others by now that President Trump means what he says then I don’t know when it will ever be”

🇺🇸 Trump: “On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem — crowds welcomed him, praised him, called him king. And now they call me a king too. Can you even believe that? I mean, I’m basically a king. And yet I can’t even get approval for a ballroom. Incredible, right? A king. If I were a king, we’d be doing a lot more. I already do a lot, a tremendous amount, but I could do even more if I were a king.” — How has he managed to stay out of the psych ward for so long?? — He’s not hiding at all!

@minjakoskela Ollaan Minja eletty 20 vuotta velaksi ja krooninen kestävyysvaje on 10-15 miljardia euroa. Ei tarvita mitään ideologiaa toteamaan, että on pakko säästää. Ideologiaa taas on sanoa, että näin muka voidaan jatkaa hamaan tulevaisuuteen vailla huolta huomisesta.

@VolodyaTretyak Not a single action! Trump has intentionally done everything to please Putin`s Russia. That relationship is disgraceful and harmful for the US and the whole democratic world.

Can you name at least one action taken by Trump that was harmful to Russia and beneficial for Ukraine since his second term began? 🤔

@BBCWorld Yes, Orban`s era of power is over! Hungary needs better, needs changes for people. It is high time for Hungary to get rid of energy dependence from Russia.

After 16 years in power, can Viktor Orban finally be unseated? bbc.in/4e2sCVZ

@anders_aslund Trump is also saying that "we (the US) are not in the war". Sounds very stupid and gives the picture that Trump has got a memory problem. Every day Trump`s messages are different, is he becoming desperate?

Yes, it is a war and there are no negotiations, so no incident impacts the non-existing negotiations. Every day, Trump proves that he is the dumbest president the US has ever had. US allies shake their heads in embarassment and US enemies laugh.

Emmanuel Macron: “If you bomb countries because you disagree with their regime, it opens a Pandora’s box. Iran is a bad regime, but bombing doesn’t work. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya — 20 years of interventions have produced no results. Change must come from within, from the people. We do not want to depend on China’s dominance or be overly vulnerable to the unpredictability of the United States. France does not want to be a vassal of any power. There is a ‘third path’ — uniting Korea, Europe, Canada, Japan, India, Brazil, and Australia. It’s a format for countries that do not want to depend on China or automatically side with the U.S. France is facing growing risks due to Russia’s war against Ukraine. China is trying to control supply chains and critical minerals. The United States is reshaping trade through tariffs and extraterritorial measures.”

@anders_aslund Orban and his Hungary needs Putin and Trump! Orban without support from Russia and (the US) is a lost possibility. Despite their assistance Orban will lose the election.

Put it rather like this: Telling that Trump is so subservient to Putin!

@TapaniKiiski Täysin samaa mieltä! Neutraaleja venäläisiä ei ole, ovat aina isänmaansa puolella!

Mukaneutraalien venäläisten osallistuminen mihinkään kv-toimintaan pitää kieltää. Yksinkertaista. hs.fi/urheilu/art-20…

Hegseth has caused more damage to the US military forces than Russia or China ever could. Why is he allowed to demolish the US military like this? Well, of course, Trump is Putin's servant!

Mistä vasemmistoliiton jäsenmäärän kasvu kertoo? Minä selitän. Se kertoo siitä, että suomalaiset ovat persaukinen, tukien varassa elävä kansa, joka on opetettu avuttomuuteen ja valtiojohtoisuuteen. Tämä porukkahan ei vaadi työtä vaan oikeutta kieltäytyä töistä. He vaativat tukia, jotta voisivat harrastaa itselleen mieluisia asioita ja sitä, mikä on heistä itsestään kivaa. Sinun rahoillasi, tottakai. @vasemmisto IS selvitti puolueiden jäsenmäärät: Yhteen puolueeseen valtava ryntäys is.fi/politiikka/art…

Again. And again, the question is why. Because corrupt autocrats stick together? The fake "conservative values" propaganda? Or simply because Putin desperately needs to keep Orbán to sabotage the EU and the Trump admin seems to do whatever Putin wants?

I hope this statement is the end of Rubio in Europe: 1. Trump has insisted on annexing Canada & Greenland, which are part of NATO. That aggression is impermissible. 2. The main threat to European security is Russia's aggression against Ukraine & Europe. Your National Security Strategy ignores that and claims that Europe is the main threat. 3. The US has cut off all assistance to Ukraine. 4. The US has voted with Russia & a dozen of its rouge states in the UN claiming that Russia did not pursue a war of aggression against Ukraine. 5. NATO Article 5 has only been invoked once, but the US in 2001 after 9/11 & the whole of NATO stood up for the US. 6. Trump has repeatedly insulted the allies that lost about 1,000 soldiers for the US in Afghanistan. 7. Trump has all along claimed that NATO allies do not pay their share of NATO costs, which is untrue. They are now spending more on their own defense because nobody trusts the US under Trump. 8. Trump incessantly insults NATO allies for no reason. If you don't know how to behave, you deserve no sympathy or support. 9. The US started a mad war of aggression on Iran without consulting any allies but Israel. Immediately afterwards Trump started insulting allies as usual. 10. Trump's war on Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz & is causing a global economic crisis, which is entirely due to the stupidity and power of Trump, but you are defending this atrocity. If you don't know how to think or behave, shut up!

@wesaniemi @jikonen @kallejulkunen Ammattiliitot ovat vastuuttomia, ovat aikansa eläneet, tarpeettomia, eivät aja enää työläisten vaan omia etuja!

@kallejulkunen Kyllä ammattiliittoon kannattaa kuulua, että saadaan johtajalle iso palkankorotus, 50 %. Sinua on Kaarlo kusetettu.

Ammattiliittoon tulee jäseniä ovista ja ikkunoista. Ammattitaitoon kuuluu aina ammattiliiton jäsenyys. Tänään on hyvä päivä liittyä oman alan ammattiliiton jäseneksi. iltalehti.fi/politiikka/a/9…

@hasek_dominik @JDVance @PM_ViktorOrban It is typical of criminals that it is easy for them to find other criminals despite their nationality. And, they get along with each other without difficulty, without cultural differences.

A traitor to the democratic world and a supporter of the biggest criminals, including Putin, @JDVance is going to Hungary to support another traitor and criminal, @PM_ViktorOrban . Criminals are attracted to criminals.

The White House deleted this embarrassing video. So whatever you do- * DON'T REPOST IT. * Donald wouldn't like it if you hit "repost." Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

@anders_aslund Is he a person with starting dementia? Or, a person with selective memory?

How can the US have a president who is a complete scatterbrain? The republicans in Congress are responsible for this disaster.

@PiaKauma Tiedän, mutta eikö muita keinoja ole? Ketkä eniten matkustavat, taitaa olla eläkeläiset, business-henkilöt vähenemässä määrin. Nyt öljyn hintakin nostaa hintoja, joten kustannukset vähentävät reissaamista, myös kotimaassa.

@FilppulaOlavi Roomassa, Barcelonassa, Pariisissa ja Prahassa nuo verot ovat luokkaa pari euroa per yö. Joskus aivan snadisti enemmän. Eli ei mitään suuria summia.

Harvoin minäkään mitään uutta veroa toivotan tervetulleeksi, mutta matkailijaveron käyttöönotto ei ole välttämättä huono idea, jos se laissa jätetään vapaaehtoiseksi ja jos sen käyttöönotosta kunnat ja kaupungit saavat itse itsenäisesti päättää. hs.fi/politiikka/art…
