12.02.2026 ⇢ The Day Minister Kaisa Juuso Resigned
⌨

Morning editorial focus centered on systemic legal and institutional vulnerabilities, specifically the lack of protection for Finnish citizens under the US Defense Cooperation Agreement following a soldier's assault on a local man. This was accompanied by a burgeoning scandal at the Milan Winter Olympics, as editors across all major outlets prioritized the dismissal of the national ski jumping head coach for alcohol use. By early afternoon, the narrative shifted abruptly to the resignation of Social Affairs and Health Minister Kaisa Juuso, who stepped down citing professional exhaustion and health reasons. While mainstream media focused on the personal toll of her tenure and the search for a successor, right-leaning outlets utilized the moment to highlight immigration and labor market statistics. In the evening, Olympic coverage turned to accusations of rule-breaking by Norwegian and American skiers, with Finnish coaches expressing public outrage over perceived unfairness, while local news reported a fatal fall in Helsinki's Jätkäsaari.

Ruotsi kiristää kansalaisuuden vaatimuksia – tukiriippuvaiset eivät saa kansalaisuutta ja jäävät siten vaille äänioikeutta parlamenttivaaleissa

Eurooppalaisten suhtautuminen hallitsemattomaan maahanmuuttoon on kärjistynyt kaikkialla, kun kansainvaelluksen todellinen hinta on paljastunut kansalaisille valtamedian ja ahneimpien kapitalistien peittelystä huolimatta. Kaikkien osapuolten onnistunut yhteiselo hyvinvointivaltiossa edellyttää onnistunutta kotoutumista ja se on nyt todistettava myös käytännössä.

München 2007: Putinin legendaarinen varoitus länsivalloille

Tasan 19 vuotta sitten, 10. helmikuuta 2007, Venäjän presidentti Vladimir Putin nousi Münchenin turvallisuuskonferenssin puhujakorokkeelle ja murskasi Yhdysvaltojen johtaman maailmanjärjestyksen taustalla olevat myytit ja valheet. Mutta kuunteliko kukaan hänen varoitustaan?

Rintojenpoistoon tyytymätön ”detransitioija” sai kahden miljoonan dollarin vahingonkorvaukset – oikeusjuttuja on tulossa lisää

Sukupuolidysforia on ollut 2000-luvun muoti-ilmiö, joka on levinnyt sosiaalisena tartuntana erityisesti tyttöjen parissa. Moni nuori on halunnut kokea olevansa vastakkaista sukupuolta, koska se on muotia ja kaikki julkkikset ja kaveritkin tekevät niin. Kuten kaikki muoti-ilmiöt, sukupuolidysforia levisi Amerikasta myös Suomeen. Mutta nyt ilmiö on alkanut laantua Yhdysvalloissa: yhä useampi potilas katuu leikkausoperaatioita. Tyytymättömien "detransitioijien" nostamia oikeusjuttuja on tulossa kymmenittäin.

The Telegraph: Venäjä kuljetti salaa 2,5 miljardia dollaria käteistä junilla Iranin islamistihallinnolle – Junnila: Pakotteilla on ollut vaikutusta

Venäjän valtion omistama Promsvyazbank toimitti tietojen mukaan noin 2,5 miljardin dollarin arvosta käteistä Iraniin pakotteiden ohi. Asiantuntijat arvioivat käteiskuljetusten jatkuvan edelleen. Perussuomalaisten kansanedustaja Vilhelm Junnilan mukaan tapaus kertoo tilanteen vakavuudesta ja siitä, että pakotteilla on ollut vaikutusta, kun epädemokraattiset valtiot joutuvat turvautumaan tällaisiin järjestelyihin.

Additionally, right-wing media emphasizes strict new conditions for immigrant social benefits (Suomen Uutiset).

NATO: Venäjän armeija kehittyy lännen sotilasliittoa nopeammin

Venäjän armeija on nopeampi sopeutumaan nopeasti kehittyviin taistelukenttien teknologioihin kuin NATO, sanoi Yhdysvaltain johtaman sotilasblokin teknisen kehityksen korkein komentaja, amiraali Pierre Vandier. Samaan aikaan Viron julkaiseman raportin mukaan Venäjä ei suunnittele hyökkäystä NATO-maihin, mikä vahvistaa Moskovan toistaman kannan, että Venäjällä ei ole hyökkäyssuunnitelmia länsimaihin.
