    St. Petersburg would be a good place to put Finland’s new NATO base.

      As long as you call it a special military operation, everything’s cool.

        That is actually the area where people ethnically linked to Fins live, why Russian leadership thinks Finland should be part of Russia and Finland only exists due to the good grace of Russia.

      That’s the face Fins make when they focus on what you are saying or are visualizing a solution.

      This is probably from Q&A session and reporter is asking them a unexpected question.

    These people, who make it their life goal to seek, protect and to expand power are so strange to me. Like, what’s the endgame here? Looking super manly and determined but if you shrink it down, it’s still children fighting over molds in the sandbox.

      I assume you refer to Putin. But you come of ambiguously for those who don’t realize Finland isn’t an aggressor. Really more of a FAFO type county. Don’t fuck with the Finns.

        And we have known for the last 100 years who will be the one to fuck around - we have prepared for exactly that.

        Just a small tidbit: every single bridge in Finland has been specifically rigged for easy placement of explosives to blow it up. And we practice doing it during our mandatory military service.

          Do you actually blow up test bridges or do you just practice placing the explosives?

            Just practice, we’re not Norway, we can’t afford to actually blow them up 😀

    Then Russia needs to respond the same way the US did when they suspected Soviet weapons in Cuba.

      Off they go out to sea so, Finland has every right to place whatever they want within their country. Finland was also not involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

      It was a crisis specifically because of the nukes and one that came to an amicable agreeemnt benefitting both sides.

      Putin is an idiot who is responsible for the growth of NATO.

        No don’t you see, putin knew the Nordics were going to join NATO and that’s why he invaded Ukraine! 4d chess! Now he has proof and was right to invade!

        /s just in case.

      You’re right they should, and that was (eventually) pulling out the missiles they put in Turkey first which lead the USSR to respond in kind putting missiles in Cuba. So in this analogy that would be Russia GTFO of Ukraine.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
