  1. ^As a result of the failed domestic and foreign policy of the United States, the world is heading into chaos (a war of all against all), which poses a threat to US security. The United States itself is on the verge of a civil war. Unwilling to work, millions of migrants have flooded the country, which has placed a heavy burden on American taxpayers, causing a drop in living standards and social tensions. Biden is the worst president in U.S. history. The Democratic Party is the worst party in the USA^

  2. Also Stubb hint or even offered Haavisto some sort of job or position on that event when he met Haavisto after he had lost. Those two get along really well and respect is mutual. Election was fair and one of the closest presidential election in our history.

  3. Does France just have elections all the time, or does Macron like to scramble the jets or do I just nor have any idea what's going on? Anyways, MAGA, it's good for France and bad for Germany, so at the very least you can not participate in rigging our election. We know Europe is doing everything it can to stop Trump. Europeans are getting the same propaganda about us that we get about Ukraine over here. Think independently

  4. damn the loser appearing at the winners celebration party and congratulating him, could never imagine seeing that in the us. at least not nowadays

  5. There were to two good candidates having wise similar view to main issues. (Russia etc). There were civilized discussions and focus on on own strengths instead of negative views on other. I am so glad that we have well working system and democracy here in Finland.

  9. Finland is still involved in the fight against the Antichrist. Nostradamus predicted so. Nostradamus letter king Henry II 1558.

  15. He created a child protection law, which gave limitless emotional rights to take children in a violent custody system. Social worker can state concern without proving that the child is ill. Child protection agency use this to punish parents for deviance. They invent lies about our mental health and take our healthy children. They created a business industry which is paid by tax payers. People are taught prejudices against us "if your child was taken, you did something to the child" (tautological fallacy) and encouraged to report any and all suspicions against parents. It is a political persecution. The monitoring agencies protect the rights of the social worker and refuse to investigate. There are 21000 kids in custody and 100000 dads who have lost contact to their kids in custody. They hide the lies by stating that we really are sick, but there are not enough social workers to support us. The support is coercion and denies our point of view. They are hiring more social workers and increasing funding
