Vietnamilaisperheen 16 v poika muuttaa isänsä perässä suomeen pari vuotta sitten ja nousee Suomi-pingiksen kärkeen. Ja kas, puhuu jo sujuvaa suomea. Siinä on Munan perheellä ihmettelemistä.

President Zelensky said it plainly: Ukraine did not have cards, it had people. Smart, brave people. That is the truth Europe must never forget. Putin counts weapons, Trump talks deals; Ukrainians are defending a nation, a democracy and the security of our continent. Their drones, resilience and courage are not bargaining chips. They are Europe’s front line. As European Democrats, we stand with Ukraine: peace requires strength, freedom requires solidarity.

O'BRIEN: Trump believed Ukraine had no cards, that he could bully Ukrainians into giving Putin very good deal. He didn't understand that Ukraine was developing their own capabilities and their willingness to fight. So, Trump failed for two reasons. First, Ukrainians adapted, and that wasn't expected by him. You can see there have been some changes in his rhetoric lately, where he has to grudgingly admit that Ukraine has actually done better. The United States completely underestimated Ukrainian resilience. Secondly, Trump thought Europeans would bully Ukraine along with him because they would be afraid of United States leaving NATO. He thought he could use NATO to push Europeans to force Ukraine to take a bad deal. Europeans eventually helped Ukraine more than he thought. They seem to understand that it's actually better for them to have Ukraine fight the war the way Ukraine wants. Trump didn't understand what Ukraine was capable of and he misjudged what Europeans would do.

Olen pahoillani, että sinulle on kehittynyt näin ongelmallinen suhde alkoholiin. Vastuulliselle aikuiselle alkoholi ei ole ongelma. Voisiko tämä mitenkään johtua alkoholin stigmatisoinnista? Kielletyn hedelmän houkutus.😉 Homouttakin vastustavat kaikkein eniten kaappihomot. 😄

Kaikki viimeaikaiset muutokset alkoholiin liittyviin lakeihin on johtanut siihen, että alkoholin kulutus on vähentynyt. Silti puritanistit edelleen vastustavat kaikkia muutoksia, jotka veisivät kohti vapaampia eurooppalaisia käytäntöjä.

Lehtitietojen mukaan Sofia Virta on Erikoisjoukot-tv-sarjan kuvauksissa ja oli siksi poissa alkoholilakiäänestyksestä. Minulla ei ole poissaolosta mielipidettä, mutta se tuli mieleen, että jos Krista Kiuru menisi Erikoisjoukkoihin, ensimmäisenä kisasta putoaisivat kouluttajat.

Ilmeisesti umpiköyhille poimijoille ei voinut maksaa edes kartellissa sovittua minikorvausta, kun itselläkin oli niin tiukkaa: ”marjoja punnittaessa tuloksesta oli vähennetty laatikon painona enemmän kuin laatikon todellinen paino on ollut.” iltalehti.fi/kotimaa/a/96017…

VON DER LEYEN: We propose, for the first time, to ban from entry into the European Union anyone who has served in Russian armed forces since the beginning of the war. Europe stays off-limits for anyone who has participated in the invasion of Ukraine. As simple as that.

Täytyy kyllä sanoa, että yksityisellä puolella 30 vuotisen uran tehneenä, josta suurin osa johtotehtävissä, ei voi olla kun kateellinen näille julkisen puolen palkoille 😳

Une grande victoire pour les Albanais ! Le gouvernement albanais annonce l'arrêt des travaux du projet de Kushner et Ivanka et la suspension du projet. Les foules refusent de rentrer chez elles tant que le projet n'est pas annulé intégralement.

Saksan suurin virhe on ollut päin helvettiä tehty Energiwende. Suomessa saadaan fiksun energiapolitiikan ansiosta nauttia Euroopan halvimman sähkön tuomasta kilpailuedusta.

Älkää vittu lähetelkö mulle tällaisia kuvia. Voi osua heikkoon hetkeen ja menee vielä setämiehen sanity check -tutka sekaisin.

It is Albanians, not Americans, who are protesting against American corruption. The US appears to have accepted the corruption of the Trump family, so we Americans have to rely upon the sound anti-corruption sentiments of others. Truly embarrassing, but thank you, Albania!

Moment When Radoslaw Sikorski reminded America, UK, France and Russia that they guaranteed Ukrainian security and borders in 1994! - Sikorski: “As you know, Russia, the USA, and Great Britain guaranteed the security of Ukraine and its borders. In exchange for Ukraine giving up what was then the third largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in the world. In 1994. So you have an obligation to Ukraine to help them defend their freedom.”

And now the Kremlin says it is waging war against Ukraine to stop Ukrainian strikes on Moscow and St. Petersburg — strikes that simply did not exist until Russia invaded Ukraine. The dumbest war in the dumbest timeline in human history.

The entire direction of the post-Cold War world is being decided in Ukraine. Either the free world shows it can defend itself from hostile dictatorships, allowing democracy and rights to flourish, or a descent into corruption, might makes right, and volatile spheres of power.

Russia’s only response to losing on the battlefield and watching its economy collapse is to threaten Europe with destruction and murder more Ukrainian civilians with missile & drone attacks. Why do the most powerful economies and militaries in the world tolerate this terror?

Tom Steyer on Trump: “I started a business from scratch. He inherited $450M from his poppy. My wife and I have said we’re giving the money away while we’re alive. He keeps stealing money. He’s not a business person, he’s a thief. He is someone who has consistently been a crook”

When this war is over, and Ukraine is victorious and whole again, and every innocent victim, every fallen defender, every destroyed city and town is documented, let no one say they did not know. These Russian crimes against humanity are happening in full view in real time.

Eniten ne pelkää ihmisen iloa, joka syntyy ahkeruudesta, ymmärryksestä ja onnekkuudesta.
