Spaz means spastic and is offensive (in the UK, and i assume some other places) in much the same way retard is. Lizzo and Beyonce both took the word out of songs recently.

Spare me the whataboutism. The current topic is concerning Russia's crimes of illegally invading a sovereign country, killing its people, and kidnapping its children. If you want to bleat about america and the evil west being bad, bleat about it somewhere else.

I can't help but point out that this (talk of a successor being searched for to replace Putin) is probably just theater going around for others' benefit for the time being rather than anything that's immediately concrete. Unless the nomenklatura surrounding him openly turn against him I'd still be cautious of any talk about Putin being encouraged to leave, or getting kicked out of, his position of power. And that's a tall ask since Rosgvardiya as well as a chunk of the FSB/GRU both back him to the hilt, right or wrong.

I wonder if they're still upset that Turkey didn't permit the sale of uniforms and body armor to them, lol. Funny how anyone that doesn't lick their boots is "historical Russian territory" but OK, whatever lets you idiots sleep at night

I was actually wondering at one point that how come Russian propaganda hasn't tapped to the "We need a crusade to reclaim our holy lands in Constantinople" at all.

It's not the first threat they've made against Turkey alone those lines, I think they already did it four or five times last year over various things like the grain deal, black sea access, the body armor affair, and that one time Erdogan snubbed Putler when he went there for some meeting.

Now listen to me children and I'll tell you of the legend of the Ninja
When Finland becomes a full member of NATO, the next item on our national security agenda is getting Sweden in as well. While keeping a low profile and not rocking the boat is burned deep into the foreign policy DNA of our state, this is a thing that has to happen. Hopefully full membership status gives us some levers to pull to advance Sweden's bid. Just like with the NATO ratification process of our country, I'm sure we'll just keep badgering everyone involved behind the scenes until they give up out of sheer exhaustion.

Send a single guy with a sword over to stand outside the palace in Stockholm, officially make them Finnish territory (and thus a part of NATO), and then immediately separate them out as a new country with grandfathered NATO membership? I don't think Turkey would go for that, but don't let that keep you from trying. :)

Thing is, I think everyone here would agree that raised in isolation, there are genuinely valid points to be made about previous Western war crimes (in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere) going unpunished and the perpetrators walking around with impunity.

But the fact they are raised here by people like this, with the sole intention of trying to excuse and justify Russian crimes renders them utterly irrelevant to this topic. These commentators aren't raising them because they are genuinely angered by the injustice, but solely because they think it can muddy the waters and be used to further their propaganda.

And as others have said, Putin will never actually be hauled before the ICC. So in practice he will go as unpunished as Bush, or some Navy Seal that shot up a bunch of surrendering Iraqis/Afghan civilians, etc.

That's pretty much the same opinion I hold, yes. All they're interested in is attempts to muddy the waters. It isn't like most people who think Russia invading Ukraine is bad also don't acknowledge the many war crimes and other crimes the Western world's done. At least I haven't personally seen anyone supporting Ukraine who haven't acknowledged this before.

It'd be very hard to pull off. Sweden has a real navy, Finnish naval efforts are mostly directed towards providing a credible defense of the Turku archipelago (largest archipelago in the world btw) . We have no capability of an amphibious assault across the Gulf of Bothnia, so it'd have to be a ground assault from the north, trying to blitzkrieg through hundreds and hundreds kilometers of countryside before reaching anything that really matters. FDF isn't geared up for that kind of offensive maneuver, we'd falter much like Russia's army is faltering right now.
