Finnish President Alexander Stubb has congratulated his future US counterpart Donald Trump on his re-election.
[…]
Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (NCP) commented on the election [in a press conference …] “I have been saying for a long time that Europe must take a bigger role. We cannot count so much on US support. Of course, the United States has other interests,” the PM said.
[…]
In Orpo’s view, peace must be achieved in Ukraine, but not under any conditions.
“Peace must be attained on Ukraine’s terms,” he said. “We have our own experience from history that if the big ones agree over [others’] heads, it is not in the interest of a small or independent nation, and hopefully this will be kept clearly in mind when a peace agreement is possibly made.”

Former president Sauli Niinistö, who met with Trump multiple times, struck a cautious note in regard to the possible ramifications for Nato and Ukraine.
On Wednesday, Niinistö commented to Yle about Trump’s assertion that he will end the war in Ukraine quickly.
“I haven’t seen a detailed plan on the matter, if there is one. Rather, that will have to be considered after we see what he is really going to do,” Niinistö said.

Where did I accuse you of being a Trump supporter? I said you fell for his lies. Plenty of people worldwide has fallen for his lies, mostly due to the amount of misinformation spreading in social media. You’re just one of them.
If people can lie and tell the truth, they can obviously be criticised for what they said, so your argument again don’t make sense. We’re also not choosing to believe what he said based on agenda, it’s based on what people know of him and what he stands for.
You seem to be fine arbitrarily choosing to believe his slogan while ignoring his actions of attempting a coup in 2020 and calling for persecuting those that speak against him. Do you believe the latter is for the good of the US, then?
I have said what I had to say on the topic and you seem to posses such a good mind-reading capabilities that I don’t think I’m needed for this discussion. I have no interest in engaging with people who result in personal attacks and accusations. Have a good debate.
