Huh. We have an enquiry at work for a new customer in Ukraine who needs bolting equipment for reactor service work. Somewhat hoping I can pick that up. I guess it would make sense they need new suppliers - the original tooling would no doubt have come from the soviet precursor(s) to rosatom who would no doubt be writing emails to the effect of "sorry we dont sell to nazis "

Set posted:I agree with you all as well. Yeah, lets just say it used to be a lot worse and there was a lot of tedious debate and argumentation for us to even be allowed to have this thread at all. The powers that be are aware of everything, and either do not care or endorse it. We have good IKs and mods responsible for keeping this thread afloat so that is really good, and it has kept the worst trolls and absolute freaks away. So a big thanks to them, and lets try to keep their volunteer-work a bit easier, right? Thanks Set for the article. I wish I could contribute to the thread as well as you do, and maybe I should since yeah Yle especially has been a good source during the war. Right now I don't have the time for it though and if it's considered thread making GBS threads then so be it but I feel like I need to say as a fellow Finn I'm disgusted by how things have been handled re: the genocide both sides -subject on a site that is enlightened enough to ban a c-word, have constant discussions/circle jerk threads about less mature places like 4chan or whatever, amongst other things. Let's see how things evolve, but should I decide to leave the place I'd never shut up about the nature of things here. It's honestly baffling how a real threat to nations bordering Russia has been allowed to thrive as a subject of jokes and outright mocking and denial of reality. Well one thing worth adding since it seems relevant to some of the pos drive by kinds, yes I knew where Ukraine is on the map, one of my best friends is a Ukrainian who moved here before Russia started loving around in 2014. Suggesting no one even knew what Ukraine was pre war is such a strange take. But enough about my mother. Respect for the IKs. I'll take my 3 day hibernation now.

Suggesting no one even knew what Ukraine was pre war is such a strange take. It's projection. Most of them are Americans who had little to no knowledge about Ukraine and then got exposed to a very condensed version of the major Russian state propaganda talking points(the "maidan coup", bombardment of Donbas, secret Nazi oligarchs controlling Zelensky, etc.) some time around the invasion last year through social media. They assume everyone is like them. The D&D thread is something like 50% Europeans who have been following the conflict since 2014, many with friends and family in Ukraine and among the Ukrainian refugees all around the world.

Lord Awkward posted:Thanks again for posting these translations, I appreciate seeing the news from a Finnish perspective, and sometimes it's something I haven't seen discussed in my usual reading Thanks! Yeah, I try to keep to articles and interviews that don't otherwise necessarily end up anywhere in the English speaking news-spaces. Glad you find them interesting! I'm waiting on the rain to stop so I can go out for a walk, so I decided to translate the interview with Ilya Kosygin that was mentioned in the last Yle article I posted, while I wait. It is pretty interesting.

Yeah, Yle has been doing some really good investigative journalism with a more "local" point of view that I think is really good. Regarding the rest of your post, I agree 100%. Well put! If true, the Russian power structures must be really hosed up with formerly protected mouth-pieces being taken out. Good riddance to a war crimer.

Putin made comments today threatening Poland - since Eastern Poland (invest) is a gift from Stalin and Poland forgets this, Putin will remind everyone. He also went on about a Polish-Lithuanian (wtf) secret pact to put a military unit on the ground in Ukraine and how these two countries want Belarusian lands. Also, he’s a real piece of poo poo.
