Suomalainen hybridisodan asiantuntija Pasi Eronen Watt esitti Linkedinissä turhautumisensa siihen, ettei Europpassa käsitetä USA:a uhka. Kuva on Wattin julkaisema
Being actor-agnostic and behaviour-based is easy until it costs something.

Earlier this week the European External Action Service (EEAS), Global Affairs Canada and Lithuania decided to pull their official support from EU DisinfoLab's flagship #FIMI conference #Disinfo2026, apparently due to two conference panels framing the US as one of the players in an ever more crowded FIMI field.

According to news reports, this took place after the US government had expressed its views to its counterparts through diplomatic channels.

The timing of pulling their public support from the conference organisers seems to match the reports of increased US pressure, as the conference programme had already been published in early September.

The optics of this decision by the EEAS and others are incredibly bad. Would the same have happened if China had asked for support to be withdrawn from a conference dealing with Xinjiang? If the answer today is no, then any claims of an actor-agnostic approach to countering FIMI are basically baseless. Actions like this are also a gift to Kremlin-affiliated actors, who can keep pushing their "EU as a US vassal" narratives even harder. This will also just embolden the current US administration and its allies in Europe and elsewhere.

While removing public support does not equal stifling the conversation or trying to censor the organisers, this will stain counter-FIMI efforts for a long time and alienate the NGO community doing much of the legwork.

I know that it is easy to criticise when I don't have (political) skin in the game. But I care about standing for something, and this seems to me like another case of weakness and cowardice masquerading as statesmanship and strategic patience. We are repeating the mistakes we made earlier in placating Moscow and Beijing.Tekoälyllä luotu kuva, jossa EU:ta representoi strutsi, joka in tunkenut päänsä maan alle. Maan alla piilee venäläinen komisaari ja kiinalainen lohikäärme. Strutsin maan päällisen kehon ympärillä juoksentelee vivaihia MAGA-lippiksillä pukevia miehiä. Oikealla kulmalla on mielenosoittajia protestoimassa nykytilannetta

It is interesting that instead of creating propaganda to the masses, Trump regime creates propaganda to fringe groups. Almost like there is no real policy wins, so the government has to appeal to fringe symbols to similate a victory

I have noticed in various offline circles — particularly media and political science — it is still considered rather inappropriate to acknowledge that the US President is evidently quite insane. It's not that these people don't *know* it; they clearly do. You just aren't supposed to *say* it. 🙃

Rasismin lisäksi suosio johtuu siitä, että toisin kuin Kokoomus, persut itsevarmasti uskovat uusliberaaliin projektiin ja ovat valmiina viemään sen läpi loppuun asti. Sama syy, miksi Mileikin on yhä suosittu. Hänen itsevarmuutensa tuo luottamusta, että kyllä kohta uudistukset alkavat toimimaan
