"Well, yeah using anti-personnel mines could be considered immoral and unethical, but only if you don't consider the Russians as nonhumans!"
Also, all joking aside, I love living in a country with Alexander "I'd allow NATO nukes on Finnish soil" Stubb for president, that goddam warmongering idiot. I like to use a phrase to refer to him that I think is in one of our nation's most beloved wartime novels: Saatanan sotahullu
oh you remember there was that HAWK TUAH meme girl some time ago? i think that's her? (also i don't think she actually done a zoom in North Korea)
well she did say to have done, so…
This might actually be my personal blindness, as I've lived all my life in a country whose entire raison d’être is being anti-Russia and all my life I've been taught nothing else; like "evil imperial Russia took us from the loving embrace of our former slave masters, and subjugated us for a 100+ years, until we broke the chains of their imperialism to adhere to another kind of imperialism. Also communism is bad, remember 1939-45?" type of shit. So I'm kinda hesitant to trust Russia in order to fight America. Or at least I would be sure to be ready to fight Russians off as well later.
True, but the only way for this to happen is for Europe to work together economically against the US, and to my mind China is the only viable option to replace the US as a economic partner. Of course this is a scary proposition for most Europeans, as the US works more or less openly with the threat of Russian invasion while simultaneously working to empower the local far-right policians in Europe, which will result in either them succeeding and Europe gleefully goose-stepping its way into an open war for the Nazis again, or them not-succeeding and possibly causing Europe to rip itself apart in political strife, which in turn could open the way for Russian subjugation. So basic fascist tactics, forcing a problem to appear and presenting itself as the only solution. In both these cases capitalist imperialism seems to be the victor.
is this the woke mind virus thing I've heard mentioned?
Just felt like popping in to say: same. Except for me the start of my questioning predates lurking here, but just barely. "Oddly enough", it seems most of the lgbtq+ folks here are likeminded. Also lots of neurodivergents, hah.
