Just landed in Helsinki.
The Nordics are our closest allies, and our destinies are bound together, just as they were a thousand years ago. Thank you, Finland, and thank you to all our Nordic friends for everything you already do for Ukraine.
Today, I will meet with Finland’s high-level officials, my Finnish colleague @elinavaltonen, and colleagues from Norway and Denmark.
We will also have a separate trilateral format with the foreign ministers of Finland and Norway to discuss peace efforts and coordinate the decisions our leaders agreed in Oslo.
Tomorrow, I will address the Nordic Council session for the first time.
The priorities of our talks are set by Russia's daily terror. They are air defense to protect our skies this winter, equipment for our energy sector and shelters, where Finland leads the relevant coalition, and joint weapons production for our soldiers.

Yep. 0.000 inclination to budge
Mielenkiintoista tässä on tulevat Ranskan vaalit ja Saksan muuttunut sisäpoliittinen paine.
Halutaanko olla aloitteellinen ennen kuin Euroopan linja rakoilee lopullisesti?
Ja iloisesti yllätyn jos mitään todellista saadaan aikaan ennen Ranskan vaaleja.

Good Morning from Germany, where Mercedes is also being hit hard by the China shock. It joins BMW & VW in cutting its outlook, now targeting a car margin of just 2–3%, vs up to 5% before. Shares tumble 5.4%, taking this year’s loss to more than a third. Germany’s Big Three are now worth just €106bn combined. Tesla alone is worth €1.4tn, more than 13 times as much. China, once their profit engine, has become a major liability.

Oh my, another idiot take that just won’t die. The Europeans are not funding Russia’s war. They started from a deep structural dependency on Russian energy and have made tremendous — and fast — progress on decoupling. This isn’t something you just turn off overnight. And they still contribute far more to Ukraine in aid anyway.
In contrast, the US is not even remotely dependent on Russian fossil fuels and yet the Kremlin asset in the White House is easing sanctions anyway while completely shutting off aid.
Contrary to the braindead takes of Trump apologists, the hypocrisy runs squarely through Washington, not Brussels.
In case you were wondering who was funding Russia's war on Ukraine, the EU is the number 1 purchaser of Russia's liquid natural gas and pipeline gas products through September 2026.energyandcleanair.org/august…

Brazil's Amazon deforestation, official INPE data:
>Jair Bolsonaro, 2019–22: 45,612 km²
>Lula, 2023–26: 24,648 km²
46% less. And 2026 was the lowest since records began in 1988
Stopping deforestation is one of the most important climate fights on Earth

People still talk about the foreign policy of the Trump administration as if (a) it's designed to advance US national interests, rather than private ones and (b) there's a reasonable expectation of competence and coherence. Neither of these things is correct.

The Russian propaganda operation begins, with American collusion
Exclusive Senior Adviser to First Lady Melania Trump Marc Beckman claims Russian kids are being kidnapped too #BothSides
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A UN commission found Russia's deportation of Ukrainian children is a crime against humanity; ICC issued warrants for Putin over it. No evidence supports claims of Ukraine systematically kidnapping Russian children.

And another.
Trump isn’t just betraying Ukraine to the Kremlin, he’s selling out America too.

Replying to @TheStudyofWar
2/ Russian forces have made effectively zero net gains in 2026 at the cost of over 40,000 casualties per month since July and around 458 casualties for every square kilometer of territory that Russian forces lost.
Jos pitää paikkansa, niin onhan tämäkin mielenkiintoista etenkin suhteutettuna tähän liittolaissuhteiden uusjakoon.

Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered Israel to support Argentina over the Falklands, The Telegraph can reveal.
The Israeli prime minister told diplomats to change his country’s official position and join Buenos Aires in calling for direct talks over the future of the islands.

Kaikki merkittävät saksalaiset autonvalmistajat; VW, BMW ja nyt Mercedes-Benz ovat ilmoittaneet uusien sähköautomalliensa kovasta kysynnästä.
Toki markkinoita on menetetty etenkin Aasiassa, mutta nyt näyttää kysyntää olevan.

“Really, for Finland, there are no benefits,” he said. “They are international companies serving international customers. Very little corporate taxes go to Finland. Datacentres ultimately have very little benefit for others except the datacentre operator.”

A merchant ship was just hit and sunk by a drone in the Black Sea, just 13 nautical miles off the Romanian port of Constanța. One sailor was killed and nine others rescued.
Can we just drop the "hybrid" and call it a war?

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

BIG jump in China's exports of solar in September, far above any earlier month, except the export-tax-driven wave in March.
Solar kit with annual power output equal to 10 large nuclear reactors exported in just one month.
Media reporting wildly off as they used wrong metrics!
