@SaskaSaarikoski Varsin hupaisa kirjoitus. Sodan alkuvaiheessa HZ oli Kremlin propagandan keskeinen äänitorvi ja tappiomielialan lietsoja Suomessa. Kun usko Venäjän voittoon vähitellen hiipui, linjaa on korjattu, ettei päädyttäisi häviäjän puolelle.
@iltalehti_fi Liikekannallepanon pakeneminen on aika ongelmallinen turvapaikkaperuste. Venäjällä olisi reilu 20 miljoonaa turvapaikkaan oikeutettua.
9/9 Pacifism should not be just about ending a present war at any cost. It should be about preventing future wars by showing the potential aggressors that aggression does not pay. If it does pay, there is an incentive for it.
8/9 Thus, there is not much else we can do but prepare for the worst, hope for the best and keep doing what is right. Being afraid and being paralyzed by fear are two different things.
7/9 What if, at some later time, he invades and annexes territories of Kazakhstan, Georgia, Poland, the Baltic states or Finland and then tells the world Russia will "defend" these new territories with everything it has? The risks would be the same.
6/9 If Mr Putin sees that nuclear threats and blackmail work, i.e. if he can influence our choices and behavior by threatening us with nuclear weapons, he will continue to play that card.
5/9 Is it possible that the Russians would use nuclear weapons? Certainly, but the follow-up question is: So what?
Even if we assume that the risk exists, what conclusions or policy solutions can we make on that basis? Surrender?
4/9 Whether Russia would use nukes depends (besides other factors) on what the Russians believe the rest of the world will do after that. So far, they have made several miscalculations. Who knows how they see this question?
3/9 One problem is that we do not know the consequences of Russia using nukes. Neither does Russia. Would it lead to a Ukrainian (and Western) capitulation? Or a massive Western conventional retaliation against who knows what targets? Or a nuclear retaliation.
2/9 The likelihood of Russia using nukes cannot be calculated. Russia has never used them. We do not know the circumstances under which Russia actually would use nukes - until it does.
1/9 There is much speculation on whether and when Russia might use nuclear weapons. This threat should be taken seriously, many say.
Let us think about the risk and what "taking seriously" means.
@mkorhonen12345 @PekkaRoininen @VuorelmaJohanna Unohdit mutsini. Ehkä mutsinikin oli?
@VuorelmaJohanna Vuorelma ei ymmärrä, että fanikerho tarkastelee Marinin hallituksen toimia suhteellisuusteorian työkaluin. Se, mikä *näyttää* 180 asteen käännökseltä, on todellisuudessa suora linja kaareutuneessa avaruudessa.
4/4 To allow Russians into Europe in this situation is to help Mr Putin solve his problems and to cause short and long term problems for ourselves.
3/4 Those who go are most likely ok with the war itself, they just do not want to be personally part of it. Abroad, they are an asset for a Russia that is ever eager to protect its subjects wherever they are.
2/4 If some dozens of thousands of troublemakers flee, there will still be millions of those who are too poor to travel or too phlegmatic to resist. They are more suitable as cannon-fodder than some educated big-city hipsters.
1/4 If Russia wanted to stop people from leaving the country, it could easily do that. Any idea why it does not?
If those who want to get out are genuinely anti-war, anti-mobilization or anti-regime, they would only cause trouble at home. It is better to get rid them.
@antti_ellonen @Heikkitamminen @terhikoulumies @MariPSRantanen @PetteriOrpo "Suomi voisi harkita" kuulostaa kyllä ehdotukselta, ei ainoastaan sen toteamiselta, että on mahdollisuus harkita.
@maraj60 @STTuutiset @KaiusNiemi Ne, jotka ovat syytteessä, eivät olleet vastuussa > ei seurauksia.
Ne, jotka olivat vastuussa, eivät ole syytteessä > ei seurauksia.
7/7 Even if it does not, untrained, unequipped and unmotivated "soldiers" will do more harm to the Russian war effort than to Ukraine.
