  1. Invading via Finland isn’t a thing. Ask Bonaparte or Hitler. There’s nothing up there but lakes, mud, and mosquitos.
  2. Where were Russian speakers being killed by government-backed neo-Nazis for the last decade? In eastern Norway? No, in eastern Ukraine.
  3. The US doesn’t have nuclear weapons deployed in Finland, and no known plans to. NATO Ally [Poland] 'Ready' to Station Nuclear Weapons on Its Territory

That's a rude way to describe Saint Petersburg.

Is it hard to post on Lemmy from inside a locker?

Saint Petersburg

Where's that? Is it near Leningrad?

Ok I get it now. You guys are living (or LARPing in) a fantasy world where the Soviet Union still exists and Russia isn't a right-wing revanchist kleptocratic dictatorship.

A swing and a miss. You asked a dumb question so somebody else asked you a dumb question. You're being made fun of.

Why is it that you liberals consistently cannot understand when they're being made fun of? It's pathological.

Nobody here is confusing contemporary capitalist Russia with communist Russia. And this war isn’t about revanchism, it’s about a decade of ethnic cleaning in eastern Ukraine and two and a half decades of US/NATO military expansion toward Russia’s borders.
