One consequence of Russia invading Ukraine is that Finland and Sweden joined Nato. Finland has a 1,340 km border with Russia, so Putin has not created a "bigger buffer" - he has managed to double Russia's border with Nato. Also, the countries you label as unfriendly are peaceful countries who are only 'unfriendly' to Russia because they worry about Russian imperialist expansion, and Russia's aggression habit.

It is amazing how the tankies are cuddling up to the fascists in support of Russian imperialism

Yes a tankie propaganda site. You would need to read an evidence based publication to decide if she deserves the prize or not

Denmark has every right to protect their kids from becoming the property of US tech companies. And if this means they end up never joining Facebook/ X, etc, then it is a victory against the MAGA & fascist attitudes that those companies spread. People should not be so concerned when a state takes action against companies. When the US broke up Standard Oil it did everyone a whole heap of good. If other countries follow suit with a social media ban for under-15s I think it could be similarly transformative.

Yes, it potentially creates challenges around privacy, but for a law like this to have its intended effect doesn't entirely depend as much on age verification as people think.

The thing with a law is that its transformative effect works over a long period of time. For example, on the day when this takes effect, a heap of kids will still find a way to use these social media sites. But in a couple of years, kids won't want to, because their friends are not on there. This happens, because a few years, and perhaps a few test cases later, society as a whole deems it wrong and illegal for a kid to be on social media.

Yes, he is very corrupt and treasonous, whereas she was naive with Putin and now tries to protect her legacy. If protecting her legacy is what she's now trying to do, it is very not working
