If you’re curious and wondering what Putin said in Valdai, don’t waste your time. He spouted his usual nonsense and lies about how russia never attacked anyone and is the kindest, humblest nation in history, always victimized and threatened by its nefarious European neighbours.

This definitely feels like a mis-step. Russian-language news etc had already been curtailed earlier this year. Why give people whose main language of communication is Russian more reason to seek out 'news' from Russian state channels?

Der öffentliche Diskurs (und Mentalität der Politiker) beim Thema AfD-Verbot ist so daneben. Es geht dabei nicht um den politischen Wettbewerb, um "AfD inhaltlich zu bekämpfen". Es geht um Rechtsstaatlichkeit, Schutz der Demokratie. Wenn eine Partei verfassungswidrig agiert, gehört sie verboten.1/2

Some context on why this is big for Finland: various options for bilateral defence plans, a union, even a state union (!) have been aspired and attempted for 100 years (literally since the 1920’s). But until now, it never worked out politically.
