People write to ask how they can help Ukraine. The country's soldiers face renewed attacks from Russia. There is a simple way to make sure that more Ukrainian soldiers survive, and to send a message that we support them: by funding armored evacuation vehicles.

Diplomatian historian kiusallisimmat minuutit ovat tuottaneet valtavan määrän keskustelua.

Osa suomalaisistakin näyttää ajattelevan, että Ukrainan presidentin olisi pitänyt vain olla nöyrempi ja tulos olisi ollut parempi.

Minusta tämä on heikko tulkinta. Perustelen.

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

Ylen vaalikoneessa kysytään ehdokkaan sometilejä.

Listassa on tarjolla X.

Ei BlueSky, ei Mastodon, ei edes Threads.

Voisiko suomalainen media lopettaa Muskin alustan nostamisen jalustalle, jota se ei todellakaan ansaitse?

I don’t care whether you’re pessimistic or optimistic as long as it makes you act.

Europe can rise to the occasion but we need to believe it’s possible in the first place, and push and support European leaders to do the right thing.

Is Trump Making Europe Great Again?
In a world of zero-sum thinking, the EU's win-win logic can be a powerful tool.

Don’t be sad. Be disgusted. Be angry.

Tonight, we’re donating $5,000 USD to support Ukraine.

If you’re feeling the same way, channel it into action - donate to organizations like UWC and others making a real impact.

Stand with Ukraine. Do something about it.
