ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

it is one of the great problems of being in opposition that one always has to make a hundred cases to make one, and if one is not both incredibly concise and completely airtight in one's reasoning, one will simply be painted as a crank - assuming that one even gets an opportunity to speak.

Norman Finkelstein was on Chapo a week ago, there's this relevant section form 22:29 to 33:05 where he lays out what his (public?) personal belief is regarding Putin's motivations. It wasn't anything I recall reading in this thread, I found it interesting so some of you might as well:
https://youtu.be/fzKVJHbiuME?t=1349

To distill this down for those that can't listen to a clip while chopping vegetables for dinner:



Norman directs the Chapos to the Wikipedia section on Putin's childhood: a whole 4 lines. That's it.

Norm says when he read these, he saw a reflection of his own childhood: family wiped out by nazis. Norm points over his shoulder to the fireplace mantel at the only surviving photographs of said family, and he imagines Putin's living room adorned the same while growing up.

It says something that his entire childhood as written in 4 lines on Wikipedia is strictly in relation to the nazi invasion on the eastern front, and yet NATO/NAFO/Nordic/EU types can't find an ounce of sympathy for Putin or the Russian people.




This is an admittedly poor distillation, and leaves out some other interesting supporting details and criticisms.

I repeat, US nukes are in The Netherlands and despite the largest protests in Dutch history taking place over this very thing, there has never been any public debate or any vote. Official government policy is "what nukes?" and also "shut up about this top secret matter of national security".

You are out of your goddamn mind if you think Finnish public opinion, or Finnish parliament's opinion matters or will ever matter from this point onwards. That's not how vassal states work.

Besides which all they need to store locally are the weapons and platforms. Fully compliant. They can keep the spicy tips in Germany or wherever and just fly them over an hour before use on a "routine training flight for logbook hours".

Once you've actually used them what are the Finnish going to do about it? Write a letter complaining about the noise disturbance?
