From what I've heard, Russian troops are having a particularly hard time handing winter this year and this has led to increased number of desertions.

Has there ever been a Starmer strategy that wasn't a complete failure?

He won't. He'll simply keep thinking he came out of this as a winner as he did with Venezuela, Iran and Palestine and will soon enough come up with his next scheme to bully Europeans.

Don't forget about the guy who raped his underage stepdaughter.

Yeah the Pompeo tweet was going viral getting pushed by prominent disinformation accounts.
Its well known that Iranian society has been deeply penetrated by Israeli and US intelligence but to blame it for these protests is cope for the fact that Mullahs have fucked things up beyond their control.

Yeah that one was to be expected

They tend to be so obsessed with the concept of oritentalism and the idea that the "western empire" is behind everything bad that happens that they completely ignore the wishes and needs of people in these countries in favour of supporting their morbid regimes.

Reminder: there are people right now online seriosly claiming Iran doesen't have a history of killing protestors.

Absolutely disgusting denialism.

Most aren't this blatant about it though. More typically they'll go on about how this is CIA/Mossad imperialist plot or throw whataboutisms. Most people who defend the Mullahs realize that people in the west know how reprihensible the regime is and try not to look like they outright support it.

Yeah hard at work here. I have 40 screenshots collected at the moment and I'll start posting them once I'm ready. Where should I dump these since DMs here don't support pics yet?

Funnily enough I was already gathering these today. I'll have a collection of tweets coming from both the usual trash you'd expect and more obscure accounts.

The problem is that you can't expect Russia to make the obvious rational decision here. Putin truly is delusional enough to think he can take Baltics with US out of the way.

While Europe will win such a war should it come, the human and material cost for EUs eastern states will be tremendous.

Internet as "Marketplace of Ideas" died at the very least by the mid 2010s (if it ever existed at all) and has been replaced by echo chambers with cult mentalities that actively reject rational thought. Sufficed to say, all of this has been extremely damaging to liberal democracies.

I used to think this way for a long time, but seeing how anonymity is by now so extensively used to promote and popularize authoritarian ideas and harassment with usually no legal ramifications and the social media algorythms actively promote all this due to the profit it generates.

Anyone have a link?

To influence future politics. Only platform moderate opposition has been able to build their voter base on is "at least I'm not the other guy" with no solid plan whatsoever to fix the mess the orange bastard leaves behind.

I'm not looking forward to this TBF. It takes an economic collapse for half the country to finally notice that they have voted in a moron. After that there really is no telling how bad things will go. A radicalised right (and increasingly also a radicalized left) will still be around for a long time

Asuming Trump causes a brain drain, it's still important to ensure Europe can provide attractive employment opportunities for scientists or they'll all move next over to China.

TACO administration at it again

>We're going to restore our warrior ethos
>We're going to achive peace through strength
>Oh and we'll chicken out if we actually need to help our allies

Before that I'm sure the driver is going to get some mad street cred though when the next mobik passing by ends up as hood decoration.

Finland has 41 M270s so the rocket artillery is already covered here. It's just too bad we botched the ATACMS deal that was the whole point of bying those systems back in 2007. Existing JASSMs and the upcoming JASSM-ERs should help alliviate that though.

But of course they are proud of this moment when they're talking about it in their language.

That and the rest of Europe should use this chance to start aquiring similar long range strike capability.

❗️The Armed Forces of 🇫🇮Finland began building underground fortifications taking into account the experience of the war in 🇺🇦Ukraine

This is exactly what MAGA wants.

That or the better per capita GDP than any other Slavic country.

According to my zoomer gf they still do. In particular they focus on warning about not eating Cortinarius and Destroying angel by accident since they can be easily mistaken for non-poisonous mushrooms.

Also almost every one of them I've visited has been moldy and poorly maintained, so there's definetly a lot of maintenance that needs to be done before they're put to serious use.

They are indeed mandatory to all buildings bigger than 1 200 m² in Finland, However after the 50's, most of them were designed primarily to counter radiological threats at the expense of blast and shrapnel protection.
