Yeah I saw that comment about western Poland. I wonder if it's meant to be like a... fig leaf to the German far right, or am I overthinking it? It could just be an old angry man yelling at a cloud.

it's just propaganda word salad created by diseased mind and meant for internal consumption, he also mentioned Poland was left to be eaten by Nazi army in 1939 and conveniently failed to mention which other army invaded Poland in 1939

SBF might be gone, but pat and woolie still run a weekly podcast, castle super beast, and it's still my favorite podcast. And they both stream regularly, while Matt started his Wha Happun series and found great success there. In case you thought with the channel evaporating so did the talents behind it.

Oh I know. I love the community so much I'm on the subreddit even though I have a deep, pathological hatred of Reddit.

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.

I don't disagree with you, but like, can we not do the "here's who gets to legit care" thing?

here in the land of the free and home of the very stupid, as soon as the border was crossed we went into panic mode to think "ok how most efficiently do we scam cousin '17, dirt poor region, kazakh' out of Russia before the inevitable happens" (the inevitable happened, one kontraktnik and three mobiks we used to know now dead in Ukraine)

we succeeded and it spiraled from there

got friends in Ukraine, sadly since only 2015 so not legit, except one lost his leg in the Kherson offensive and he's my wife's best friend's brother so it's back to legit caring? idfk

I daresay my life has been affected far more than the many finns who have been "following" (spanking it that they would totally, totally be as badass as grandpa if only the russians came at them) the conflict

let's just take it on good faith that everyone cares

I was a new federal employee in 2014 when Russia invaded, and one of the guys I onboarded with was married not only to a Ukrainian, but a member of the Crimean Tatar indigenous community, and that was phase one (of two) of me switching from "teehee, Russia, we used to think they were evil but now we know they are just silly gooses" to "wow gently caress Putin and his supporters forever"

So I guess this is at least partly aimed at me? What in the gently caress is wrong with you? I loving guarantee you that no Finn here is doing anything else than worrying about when it will be our turn to die in the trenches. We are all acutely aware that if the dice had fallen even a bit different, this thread would be about the Russian invasion of Finland instead of Ukraine.

And if the war comes does come here, I will almost certainly die. As a medic I will be specifically targeted for death, as that is the Russian military MO.

So thank you very much for putting words in the mouth of every single Finn on these very fine forums.

gently caress you.

I just find it rewarding to share stuff that I don't normally see anywhere outside of Finnish media, and luckily (as I've said before) Yle has had a really strong investigative journalism angle on this war and everything that connects to it. I'm just glad that people find the translations interesting!

Yeah, I said it before but our mods and IKs take a lot of hits for us normal posters, and they do deserve a thanks for this!

If a no fly zone is enacted by NATO that is nuclear war shortly thereafter. I get why people might scoff at Russia given their performance the past 1.5 years but make no mistake, a direct military intervention by NATO would result in MAD rather soon after. At that point you are getting into the very basic, foundational level for NATO's existence as well as the primary reason for the current large stockpiles of strategic nuclear weapons owned by both NATO countries as well as Russia. A no fly zone would, by definition, entail NATO aircraft and AA shooting down Russian planes. Once you place NATO in direct, kinetic conflict with Russia, that's the start of a nuclear showdown and has been for the previous 74 years. Are you willing to bank on ALL of Russia's ICBMs, SLBMs, and dumbfire bombs delivered via strategic bombers to fail? Because if even just 1 explodes that's WW3. Russia has about 6,000 strategic nuclear warheads in total, about 1600 of which are in active service. The delivery mechanisms are 10 nuclear armed submarines, 60-70 nuclear capable bombers, 812 deployed warheads on land-based ballistic missiles, 200 warheads at heavy bomber bases, and 1500 retired-but-still-intact warheads in reserve. How lucky are you feeling?

After the shitshow that was the battle for Kyiv? Very lucky.
