What does hypersonic mean, when we already have the term supersonic? I will assume it is to indicate it's just really really loud.

Putin is a real hypersonic

Something that maneuvers at speeds faster than mach 5. Merely going very fast doesn't make you hypersonic, by that measure the V-2 would qualify. The idea is that traditional weaponry has slow weapons that travel on paths that are hard to detect, and very fast weapons that travel on ballistic paths that are easy to detect. Hypersonic takes the best of both. The cost is that you need really staggering amount of go in your fuel tank, because you are suffering a lot more drag, and a lot more losses related to manouvering.

Lol it was pretty obvious it was Ukraine that blew up Nordstream because they were the ones who stood to universally benefit from it, yet there were people in this thread seriously saying putin blew up one of Russia's last remaining sources of significant influence with Europe himself which absolutely never made any sense whatsoever lmao

It also should have been a clear indicator it was a Ukrainian operation when the whole thing was loving dropped by the west after saber rattling about it being critical infrastructure and invoking article four discussions on security blah blah blah then the US and Norway send out boats to the site to investigate and loving dead rear end silence after lol

Come on, not everything is a conspiracy. The pipe was a legitimate military target the entire time and I'm not sure why anyone was ever acting like it wasn't. Europe had a Russian gas addiction that was preventing them from supporting Ukraine better so Ukraine removed that obstacle for them and forced them to go cold turkey on cheap fossil fuels from their common enemy and it was a good thing and actually they should do more of that and remove as much oil infrastructure as they can. And nationalize that gas pipeline going through Ukraine's territory.

It's basically marketing term that is getting more and more used by various MIC's to drive sales, we had supersonic, now hypersonic is en vogue, next we will have ultrasonic missiles.

Maybe, but Finland has never really been involved in the war on terror. Or really any war since World War II, since then we've just participated in UN peacekeeping missions. But of course, our local right wing idiots are nothing if not impressionable, so they're definitely getting influences from their American idols. Like I posted, it's wild to see them literally copy American republican and alt-right talking points and replacing "democrats" with "the Green Party" or whatever, or just not bothering to edit them in any way and insisting the democrats are operating a paedophile pizza ring in Finland, or some poo poo.

I'm sure the topic has been researched, and now I kinda want to look it up, because the shift is fascinating. It's probably not a surprise that in a left-leaning country that was under Soviet soft control for ~50 years, we've traditionally had a lot of right wingers. Until the skinhead movement really started picking up speed in the late 80s and early 90s, our right wingers were... well, literal nazis. The main guy, Pekka Siitoin, styled himself after Adolf Hitler up to and including making Hitler-style speeches from the balcony of his loving summer cottage, and calling himself the "Reichsführer of Finland".







Him and his moron followers were all self-avowed satanists and occultists who definitely didn't have time for traditional values or christian poo poo.



But of course they were also very much marginalized and a national joke, like real life versions of Spode's Black Shorts from the Jeeves and Wooster stories. The rise of racist, christian, traditional values right wing ideology is a fairly recent thing, and the main right wing rear end in a top hat party, "True Finns", was founded in 1995 (during the first big immigration/refugee waves into Finland, not at all coincidentally). Their leadership was heavily religious, which might play a large part in shifting the landscape over here. They're the real modern republican populist style party that opposes everything but doesn't actually propose any solutions besides limiting the rights of everyone who isn't them, and kicking out everyone with darker skin than milk. Sadly they are also a pretty big success, maintaining a steady number of seats in the parliament and getting ministerial positions in many governments. Populism sells :(

(Unsurprisingly many of their big names are also on the Russian payroll)

Like I said, interesting topic.

Oh poo poo yeah. A rogue's gallery of assholes who jumped to the True Finns party in the mid 90s.

quote:

The party's last chairman and MP Raimo Vistbacka (the only one elected in 1995) was among the founders of the Finns Party and became that party's first MP and chairman. The Rural Party's last party secretary Timo Soini likewise became the Finns Party's first party secretary. With the Finns Party's electoral success in the 2011 election three former Rural Party MPs returned to the parliament as Finns Party MPs (Anssi Joutsenlahti, Lea Mäkipää, Pentti Kettunen).

This is the part that I actually find interesting; they went straight to anti-christian satanism and occultism, instead of trying something with the Finnish paganism. You'd think that the local ultra-nationalistic assholes would want to take Ukko, Väinämöinen, or other stuff from Kalevala or mentioned in Mythologia Fennica as their own, instead of just rambling something about Satan this and Satan that.

Yeah it seems that knowing one's own culture and history and language and so on requires a quantum of intellect, so... yeah

Instead, right wingers keep coming up with stuff like NRA Finland

edit to add: from Wikipedia -

"Yhdistyksen nettisivut sisältävät ampumaharrastukseen liittyvän tietouden lisäksi runsaasti erilaisia salaliittoteorioita sionistien ylivallasta, holokaustin valheellisuudesta, Bilderberg-ryhmästä ja rotujen sekoittumisesta. Lisäksi NRA muun muassa väittää amerikkalaisten hallitsevan Euroopan unionia juutalaisten suurpankkien kautta ja Yhdysvaltain aiheuttaneen Itä-Ukrainan sodan."

(auto-translate of above with deepl.com)

"The association's website contains a wealth of conspiracy theories about Zionist supremacy, the falsehood of the Holocaust, the Bilderberg Group and racial mixing, in addition to information about the shooting hobby. In addition, the NRA claims, among other things, that the Americans control the European Union through Jewish big banks and that the US caused the war in Eastern Ukraine."

Anyone have a rough ratio of Russian vs. Ukrainian gains currently? By the sounds of things it would appear that Russia is once again ahead, but what they're taking seems to be what Ukraine is willing to cede for massive piles of Russian dead. Ukraine on the other hand seems to be taking property that might be useful for future offensives.

Terriotorial gains, Russia is up. Not really sure you can call it up though as it's a few square KM over the last month for an insane amount of tank/IFV losses. Probably been one of the worst 4 weeks for Russian losses since the start of the war.
