I made the mistake of balking at some particularly unhinged Ukraine/Russia rhetoric offline yesterday and got called a vatnik, a tankie, a Russia lover and I was even suspected of being pro-Israel and apparently a nazbol Aimee Therese follower or something

I'm not even invested in this shit, I just find the insane saber-rattling and warmongering unsettling desolate

When someone tells you Putler's going to invade Estonia, Poland and Finland for Lebensraum next if he's not stopped in Ukraine, just nod your head solemnly

i'm not saying you have a reason to, but the option is there

Isn't that Finnish border to Russia super small in the far North? How do they think they would even come - by sea like in the Normandy?

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're thinking of Norway, basically the entire eastern Finnish border is shared with Russia
