Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Although joining the army would be easier, and as a bonus they give you weapons training. Then you'd either go punde or "lose" your weapon in a metsäleiri.

There's always some fucker who doesn't take care of his rifle. One dumbass lost his, and he didn't notice until some officer asked where's his gun. (It was later found in some old campsite they were at. Ruined by rust. Poor bastard probably had to pay for it.)

For sure kidnapping some WW2 vet and interrogating them for info on asekätkö locations would be far more efficient, if it weren't for how spending time in hoivakoti has rendered them immune to torture.

Haha, I didn't think about that. I figured this would be just an innocent thing to be dismissed, but it might matter after all. Though there's no way in hell even the opposition would support such a radical move.

It will never pass parliament, no, but it'll be fun to see if Cock and Pers let PS play the internal opposition game or if they'll require them to have the rest of the government's stance on euro.

It all depends on whether Kok and Kepu think that they have more to gain from making Pers splinter completely or not. Because if they force Soini to vote for the Euro that's going to be the final nail in the coffin.

It's a longer vs. shorter term problem. In the short term you benefit from keeping an increasingly desperate and election-shy party in the coalition because they'll do whatever you can come up with, but it doesn't go towards popping the populism balloon, and you set a bad example for future cooperation with other parties.

You could go the gays/nukes route and make abandoning the euro a matter of conscience since it's never going to pass, but that seems kind of far-fetched. Also, I've actually believed Soini when he's said that he doesn't want Finland to leave the euro, he just wants to "reform" it or whatever the hell. So it'll be another chance for the propellerhead brigade to strike a wedge into the middle of the party.

Although since we already know to wait for the Wet Fart scenario, I imagine they'll kill it in committee without forcing PS MPs to vote on it.

They have to kill it in committee, Stubukka would look absolutely awful towards his EU masters if there was an actual "debate" in parliament about leaving the euro. He has to protect his komissaarinvirka, so down the memory hole this goes.

It's peace keeping. Not a war.

Of course that was barely true. But it's a very Finnish thing to make things look like you're going by the book even if you're not.

Apparently now we're waiting to see who we're going to go to war against and with whom. And where.

I'm sure Putin and Hollande will figure this out fairly soon. So we'll know where to go. That gives us time to change the law too.

(Sauli) Niinistö said they started repealing it last year when they weren't able to help Sweden hunt for the submarine, yet for whatever reason they still haven't managed to. How the hell is it so difficult to get anything done in this country?

The last (maligned) government actually seems more productive now than the current one. Unless you count announcing policy and then repealing it as getting stuff done (not that you would).

I really don't see an issue sending a force consisting of a Hornet squadron for A2G/detachment of Special Forces to assist the Coalition in Syria. It's not like we'll be sending conscripts to come back in SINKKIARKKU or anything.

Besides, it never ceases to be funny how Finns are never prepared to help when asked, but you can be drat sure we'll be asking for a whole lot more in the case we end up in a conflict with Russia.

Not quite, a variant of those but not the same, different taste/texture/shape. I only ever found them at Dragsvik sotilaskoti and they where much nicer than any berliner. I could almost rejoin the army for them.

Hey Finns, if having an identity is harmful and equates opposing people with other identities, having read newspapers this week much to my detriment, is the Hitler-Satan why:

What is the point of having a country at all?
Why have a flag?
Why have national history?
Why have a national anthem?
Why vote?
Why pay taxes?
If borders are meaningless then why have them?

having a country leads to nationalism, which is problematic
