Shaman Tank Spec posted:I think you nailed it in your first sentence. A lot of it is coming from the former Stasi youths and Soviet Union Hooray types that used to run this country and are now salty, because we are moving away from Russia's influence, and even worse, joining Nato, which as we all know is really the United States. Even though the right wing National Coalition Party has been in power recently and have support from the upper middle class and upper class, Finland has always been a VERY left-leaning country. A lot of people, especially politically active types, kind of believe the "Russia is our friend, Russia can't fail us, we can only fail Russia, and we shouldn't fail Russia or they'll be forced to lightly invade us and try to strip our independence again and it'll be YOUR fault" party line and are against anything that goes against that, especially if it's related to the United States. In the end, status quo bias will kick in and we will stay. I'm just relieved that I can now sleep easy knowing that neither me or my kids will have to die in a trench in 20 years.

Tai posted:I thought NATO bases in Finland were a no go or am I thinking of nooks  there are in fact, several NATO bases in Finland already.More seriously, Nato bases aren't a no go, they haven't been decided on yet. Nukes are a no-go, and that's a consensus across the political spectrum.

steinrokkan posted:That is total nonsense imo Same. It's just there to rile up people. The motivation [edit: for the attack on Belgorod] is clearly to serve as a distraction with an added bonus of a "spark of revolution" lotto ticket if it's successful.

If people don't mind me speculating: While the motive is obviously as a distraction, how likely do you guys think that if these insurgents prevail against Russian assault, that it could spark a larger civil war? It does seem to prove that beating the establishment is possible. (I know, with Ukrainian help in reality, but I just wonder how it looks to the average disgruntled person in Russia)

Tarquinn posted:The constant need to prove that you’re the manliest manly man that ever manned is so alien to me. Brings to mind that Tywinn Lannister quote "Any man who says I am the king is no true king". It seems to apply to manliness too. There is nothing as unmanly as some whiny little poo poo who constantly needs to prove how manly he is, and is so loving scared all the time about being emasculated in the slightlest. It's like their entire loving lives revolve around proving themselves.

khwarezm posted:Something else I'm thinking, if it does turn out to be a major Islamist/Chechnya related thing, they could be trying to exploit the fact that the state is knee deep in Ukraine that it can't easily react with a third Chechen war somehow. Are you saying that Chechnya might revolt? (Just in case, I'll clarify that I am asking seriously)

I'm geniunely curious as to how those conspiracy theory whack jobs have tied the two together. Lol. Lmao. Someone really needs to tell these conspiracy theorist Americans this: Not everything is about you. You are not behind everything that is good in this world. Similarly, not everything that is bad or wrong about the state of the world is America's fault either.

Tai posted:lol good point. Americans dominate the tankie twitter space with some hanger on Euros and a token Ian Miles. American exceptionalism dominates is a drug. Yeah. Prime example: The war in Ukraine is not USA's fault. Not even if there was something in hindsight that the US could've done to prevent it. Putin decided to try to take Ukraine, and the war is his fault and his alone. (I remember when this poo poo started there was a blame game in the US with both parties arguing if it was Biden's or Trump's fault. The correct answer is neither, but Putin's)

I do not believe for a second that they actually caught the terrorists. They got away, and now are filming the proverbial bear claiming to be a rabbit, and also an avid Sims player. Also, I do not believe it to be a false flag for a second. It's just not feasible to do it this way. A bombing that you can just set off would be more feasible, not gunmen who can potentially be intercepted and killed by rando coppers. Always a shocker when white nations have a hard time to fathom how poorly resourced "üntermenschen" could pull off such an attack. (Much like in 9/11 it was hard for many Americans to accept that a rag-tag group of jihadists operating from Afghanistan could just hijack a plane and ram it on a tower.)

Tai posted:I am deeply concerned that the CIA once again is pumping money into another event. The multiple untraceable and unverified billions that it has pumped into multiple colour revolutions and deomonstrations is worrying. What is more shocking is that you can't find anyone who has received that money. Where did it go? Who got it? Why do billions and billions of dollars flow out of the US for two decades and no one can point to any evidence.

Now let's pretend we are ruling a nation with the morals of the average Paradox-game player, so we basically don't give two fucks about humanitarian stuff or people's well-being in general, only what's good for "the state". Exempting people from service on medical basis would still be a good idea right? I mean, many presumably are still productive in the civilian sector, but these kinds of medical conditions are bound to increase attrition a lot right? (In plain English, their condition will rapidly deteriorate in the front and they will be militarily useless and perhaps outright die to their illness while being a logistical drain) Or am I wrong here?

Galler posted:Being all ghoul about it, if they're dead the state doesn't have to cover their medical care and the logistics drain is minimal when they aren't given much in the first place and aren't expected to last long Did the state cover their medical care in the first place?  Strategic Tea posted:IMO, if I'm an oligarch and they don't work for me on my own mineral fields, who cares? Less tax money for public schools or something - whatever. Oh it absolutely makes sense from an individual oligarch's or Putin's perspective, but if we consider the "state's" benefit. I mean, just because you're a terrible soldier with medical issues doesn't mean you can't be like, a pretty good IT guy or something. This seems very counterproductive to Russia's future, like just literally wasting human lives. Tossing them into the sausage machine. Natty Ninefingers posted:This is the “scraping the bottom of the barrel” point on the slider. Though is more likely low level fuckery to meet some goon’s quota. Yeah, low level fuckery seems believable to me. Like just another example of corruption. You get the order to find X number of warm bodies to the front, and you resort to press ganging people to meet that.
