Päivi Räsänen has been charged with three counts of ethnic agitation. That is why she is in court. The trial will decide if she is just an ordinary hateful person saying ordinary mean things or if she is indeed a criminal encouraging others to commit violent crimes for her. This is Finland, not...

For ethnic agitation. Posting on Twitter that "Russians are immoral people" or "Russians will not get to Heaven" is not a crime, however, posting that "Let's rid this world of Russians" or "Let's help Russians to meet their Final Judgment" can be, if it calls to aggressive action against the...

And not just context but a very clever allegory about the 14-year frail boy's tiny hand being engulfed by the powerful fist of the benevolent Russian heavy weight champ. Russians are wonderfully literate people who will surely understand the parallel.

There are no "both sides" to Putin's genocidal annihilation of Ukraine. Putin chose not to let Ukrainians to prosper in peace. Putin sent his killing machine to kill, slaughter, bomb and destroy Ukrainians' homes and communities, Ukrainian society and institutions, the democratically elected...

When Medvedev was holding the presidency for Putin's permanent return, Russia briefly stopped changing the clocks, but Putin restored the practice. The European Union, too, decided to end the practice (I think, starting from last year, but this was postponed because COVID-19) with the...

And Russian oligarchs have mega-yachts to deliver the nukes. Luckily for us, Putin runs a mega-kleptocracy.

He also had an army, this great big modern invasion force that is being towed away by Ukrainian farmers. Putin thinks he has nukes. His lackeys tell him what he wants to hear, that he has beautiful nukes. The best nukes in the world. That the billions and billions of rubles that went into...

It's Russia, to go with the threats to shoot down civilian airliners in Europe. Apart from some GPS jamming and egomaniac threats, what else could Moscow do? Send a school bus column on the border? "If you don't bow to Putin, we will send this over the border to clog your roads and your farmers...

Putin's Russia has already invaded Ukraine and is illegally occupaying Ukrainian territory and killing Ukrainians in Ukraine with Russian weapons. Putin's Russia shot down an international flight and slaughtered 298 civilians from Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Uk and many other...

I'm a card-carrying Christian Democrat and Päivi Räsänen is the former chair of my party. I have supported Räsänen in the past 100%. I don't support her anymore. She's lost the trust and respect of many in my party, which is why she was ousted as the leader. Many have left the party because of...

Yes! The British Harry actor Peter Firth is so good. In a lot of BBC productions, he is the absolutely necessary main supporting actor (the glue, as you said): always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Yes. I think what might have to give in, unfortunately, is the actual American Old West setting. New westerns are and will be thematically "frontier" westerns: obviously space westerns (Firefly) but also the last frontier on Earth: the Arctic and the Antarctic. I actually do see a lot of Nordic...

Yes, Harry! :heart: Lucas (Richard Armitage) will be cool too, and if you like his style and the "Euro Spooks-spy stuff," I highly recommend the Berlin Station, my current must watch spy series: a CIA team in Berlin.

One of my favorite shows when it ran here in Finland back in the day. The most awesome thing was, while the lineup changed quite a bit and you "lost" your favorite characters/actors, which is always a bummer, the new cast was always just as awesome and instant favorites.
