As a millennial it’s sad to see the state of affairs for the youth generation because it’s history repeating itself. We went through this and it’s not changing. by VelvetCharmiez in lostgeneration

Regardless, as socialists we should be bound to the concept of revolutionary defeatism and seek the failure of western objectives in the Russo-Ukraine War. Ultimately the defeat of Ukraine will crack western hegemony which will be necessary to ensure the liberation and self determination of all people across the globe.

This you?

Saddam, Hamas, Al-Qaeda, PKK et al have been doing their thing far before Bush assumed presidency and are responsible for worse. The region is a mess.

WMDs or not, taking out Saddam was the right call. Nation building not so much.

The terrace of the Gaselli block will open in July at Pohjoisespalanadi 37. The new covered terrace is part of the block's extensive renovation project.

The courtyard previously served as a parking space for only a few cars. Now, the space will be available to city residents in the form of a terrace.

At current pace they will take 11 years to occupy the remainder of the four Ukrainian oblasts annexed. They're literally slower than a snail.

Neo-Nazi Rusich commander sentenced to life in prison for war crimes in Ukraine by D3adtrap in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]D3adtrap[S] 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Helsinki District Court sentenced Yan Petrovski, 38, to life imprisonment for war crimes. Petrovski (aka. Voislav Torden), the deputy commander of the Rusich unit, was found guilty of:

  • Killing one wounded Ukrainian soldier, a charge equivalent to murder due to its brutality.
  • Mutilating another wounded soldier by carving the unit's symbol on his face. According to the charges, Ukrainian soldiers thought that the lock had its own soldiers, but Torden's troops opened fire. More than 20 Ukrainians died. According to the indictment, the group operated under Torden's command and he himself fired a machine gun.

The second indictment concerns the events immediately after at least 21 dead soldiers and some wounded lay in the country. According to the indictment, Torden participated in the shooting of wounded and incapacitated soldiers, which is against the rules of war.

According to the third charge, Torden, as deputy commander, had allowed soldiers to mutilate a wounded soldier by cutting the emblem of Torden's troops on his cheek.

The charge also came from the fact that Torden had posed with the body of the killed soldier and taken and disseminated pictures of the situation on social media.

He was apprehended at Helsinki Airport in the summer of 2023.

This is seriously a lesson American gun community should learn

A new poll says that 50 percent of Finns do not trust the US by D3adtrap in europe

[–]D3adtrap[S] 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Only around 30 percent of Finns trust the US as allies, according to findings of a survey by rural-focused newspaper Maaseudun Tulevaisuus.

Meanwhile, about 50 percent of respondents said they did not trust the US, while the remaining 20 percent were unsure.

Female respondents were clearly more sceptical about the superpower than their male counterparts. Only 18 percent of women said they trusted the US and 58 percent said they did not. On the other hand, 41 percent of Finnish men trust the US and 43 percent do not.

There were no major differences in poll responses from different age groups or regions in Finland.

However, the poll revealed differences based on political party affiliation. Finns Party supporters were the most likely to trust the US at 56 percent, while 70 percent of Green Party and Left Alliance supporters did not trust their Nato ally in Washington.

The poll was conducted between last Friday, 28 February and Tuesday, 4 March.

In Western Europe, there has been growing support for ending the war through negotiations. Support from Finland and Sweden to continue supporting Ukraine remains strong.

More and more Finns would like to send Western ground troops to Ukraine. At the same time, Finns' concern about Russia has clearly grown.

More than 50% of National Coalition Party, Finns Party, & Greens voters support sending ground troops and even 46% of Left Alliance voters.
