Just an aside, some people might find NAFO cringe. Sure sure. But NAFO came about to troll russian disinformation on twitter for example I'm fairly sure and not to make light of war.

True.
Nafo-memeing is all about countertrolling pro-russian trolls.

Please release the doges of war.

There was zero shortage in potable water, so I'm not sure how the canal applies to any of your quoted Serious Concerns

They did have to move away from water-intensive crops like wine grapes

Yeah. If I remember correctly we goons had some heavy discussion about morality of cutting Water and Power to occupied Crimea.
Ukraine also stopped paying of pensions for people deciding to stay within occupied territories.

Its even possible that Finn or Swede domestic terrorists blew up the pipeline.

Impossible. it happened within international waters against a third-party target, so they would be international terrorists.

IMO this is the kind of thing you just change to something more modern so you don't have to keep explaining 'w-helll arktuallllyyyyy...' every time someone asks about it.

I think we're in the NATO now, so we don't have to explain poo poo anymore. :colbert:

While the OG blue Finnish swastika was from civil war-era, that current black design is from the 50s.
So way beyond the point it became highly unpopular to use.

Finland isn't blocking any ships passing through though?

Transporting goods to/from Finnish EU harbours has restrictions for Russian ships.

It's real dumb. None of these countries have the least interest in getting these territories back. Hell, after the breakup of the USSR Finland was offered to buy back Karelia and refused. Why would they want to annex a couple of million Russians and a region with substantially lower GDP than their median? The same applies to all the other territories marked as occupied there - Except, obviously, the recently occupied Ukrainian ones.

There's the occupied parts in Georgia, that they really want back. They even tried and lost badly.
Also parts of occupied Moldova are more recent development than ww2.

Unlike other bodies in the solar system, there isn't much incentive to wait for an optimal window for the moon outside of time of day. So one or the other was competing, or it was just incredible coincidence.

In Moons case the day is almost the length of a Earths month. India timed the landing to start of the lunar day to get most out of their solar panels.

Did Marin really stir the brainworms so badly, that these clowns could wriggle their way into office? That's disheartening.

Her government was an anomaly that happened by accident.
Previous election was won by City Conservative party Kokoomus (KOK), but they were such an arrogant assholes about it, that Rural Conservative party Keskusta (KESK) allied themselves with Social Democrats (SDP) instead of joining KOK and Racist Conservative party Perussuomalaiset (PS).

Marin wasn't even a minister at the start. The First SDP Prime minister was more of a middle-ground union guy,
but he was ousted by KESK backstabbing so Marin was elevated by the SDP to be the new Prime Minister.

KESK ended up being such utter failures, that they lost enough voters to KOK and PS, so they could form the current government without the KESK.

A bit further down it says in 2014 she went to observe the annexation of Crimea so this should've been pretty obvious. :byetankie:

There were other hints.
I mean she's Russian, had 20 year career as part of the Communist party of Latvia (Soviet union times)
and literally opposed the independence of the Latvia from the Soviet occupation.
