Not to mention having drug addicts around, which is dangerous as well.

One can only hope this creates a doom loop that eventually brings these cities back to reality, but I suspect that will be several generations.

Yeah I'm kinda surprised it wasn't before this. Ottawa has been handing out needles for some time.

OP is actually posting from Russia. That headline is written in Russian, not Finnish. It's from a Russian propaganda source poorly translated to English.

Further, housing prices are controlled by demand, which has gone up because the number of Russians crossing into Finland. I know a few there myself.

This is obvious FUD.

Raising housing prices have exactly nothing to do with sanctions.

You know what does raise housing prices? Russians fleeing to Finland.

The fence likely upsets you because it's one more barrier as you flee St Petersburg, which is understandably upsetting and I hope you make it out with your family. I for one am jealous they even get a fence.

While I understand the sentiment for longbow especially, it is not true of the shortbow nor compound bow. Some cultures like in Korea it has become a traditionally female sport, where they have won 9 consecutive women's gold medals.

Women should be taught like this at an early age: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1o9RGnujlkI

In the case of the rapier and fencing this is quite possible. Using spring steel, you can redirect your opponents strength into an attack on them by using angles.

This is why the pasty inbred nobles could win in a fight against much stronger opponents.

A note on this, stealing from foreigners is not only accepted, but encouraged. Russia even famously will allow hackers to target anyone they like so long as they aren't Russian. They even will inform cyber criminals if they are wanted by interpol.

I agree mostly with this, but the collapse won't happen until there is another currency to move to. Currently for any given country, either globo homo can still reach it or that country is far worse about seizing assets. Russia for example took over the entire company of Pavel Durov for the crime of not censoring dissidents. It's far worse now.

I think the unfortunate likely future scenario is more cyberpunk, with competing corpos for turf and us as pawns.

There has been zero monetary motivation for any Russian actions. The Ukrainian war, even if it was a swift victory, would have been a net loss monetarily. Pirghozin could have kept collecting money and just let his people die.

Wagner fought for money certainly from the government, but still in Russian interest. Thus their honor upheld.

Suggest that you read about the history of the cossacks, it will give much better idea of their mentality. If you played Witcher blood and wine, that was based on the cossacks of Russia/Ukraine.

I just wish it was made official with letters of marque. Bring back the golden age of piracy.

Paging Chunka. We need our official regime propaganda from him.

That's not the CIA who does "code cracking", that's the NSA and the two are more or less competitors. They don't necessarily get along.

The missile strike is perhaps possible to orchestrate. The helicopters less so. The years of political struggle between the two - definitely not.

Different factions with Russia have been jockeying for position as it has been perceived Putin is weakening.

The main two are Pirghozin who leads the Wagner mercenaries and Shoigu who leads the official military. Of the two, Wagner has generally been way more effective and most gains in Ukraine are due to them. Pirghozin himself is known for being in the trenches with his men (think General Mattis).

This touched off when a missile strike and helicopter gunship attack took out a Wagner base (perhaps an attempted killing of Pirghozin). Pirghozin publicly blamed Shoigu and started the coup

That is actually a Russian meme about Americans - that they are whores who will do anything for money. The Russians are not so and "honor" is a much bigger deal.

That the West does not understand this difference has been the major failing in politics.

Pirghozin is more hardline than even Putin. The CIA is mostly clueless trannies at this point and couldn't organize a coup in a car dealership.

This was all obvious jockeying for power as I have posted about for months.

This is arguably the intent of this and other initiatives (climate change, war, abortion, etc ). They all lead to the same place: having less children and killing/sterilizing those that are created.
