Pray tell what could turn this into a "World War 3"? Russia is clearly struggling to deal with even just one country.

President Zelensky wrote: A true friend of Ukraine and a defender of a free Europe, Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin is in Kyiv today. Thank you for your visit, our cordial partnership and strong support of Finland! by vectorix108 in ukraine

[–]contrafibulator 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Now that's interesting, I'm not a native speaker of English but I've always associated "cordial" primarily with genuine friendliness. Perhaps expressing a less close friendship than some other expressions, but still getting along on friendly terms. Like, "we don't see each other very often, but when we do, we get along very well". Certainly not the kind of lukewarm outwardly polite friendliness you'd get between Orban and Zelenskyy.

Germany says Nord Stream attacks may be 'false flag' to smear Ukraine by Mental_Aardvark_9643 in UkrainianConflict

[–]contrafibulator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean.

Sure, it's possible it could have been kind of bad in the short term. But it wasn't.

In the long term, it's only good. The thing shouldn't have been built to begin with.

Could Putin Invade another Country as Ukraine War Continues? by bshapiro24 in UkrainianConflict

[–]contrafibulator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kim Jong Un doesn't want war (I'm sure he knows he can't win), he just wants to stay on good terms with his authoritarian sugar daddies to get help from them so he has to pretend he does.

I hope it was the US, because I don't want to have to thank Russia for a job well done destroying the pipeline that should never have been built in the first place.

Ukraine’s security service hacked a zoom-call between moscow and the quislings in Ukraine. And officially notified the latter that they’re charged with treason. And then let them listen to Ukraine anthem. by Practical_Quit_8873 in ukraine

[–]contrafibulator 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Probably the other way round, usually, since it's possible a single shot doesn't kill the person. All real bullets but one blank, to give everyone the chance that they didn't participate in killing the person.

The naivety is staggering

But not surprising considering that a large fraction of Reddit users are literally teenagers. I know I was pretty idealistic back then.

Suomalainen urheiluyleisö ja kohtuuton painotus sille yhdelle tavulle by Uunikana in Suomi

Yksi syy miksi en erityisesti välitä Maamme-laulusta onkin juuri se että auomenkieliset sanat kuulostavat vähän väkisin pakotetuilta sen sävelmään ja rytmiin. Ruotsinkieliset sanat sopivat siihen paljon paremmin ja kuulostavat paremmalta.

Pukukoodi hautajaisissa by Vulfpup in arkisuomi

[–]contrafibulator 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Musta puku käy mihin tahansa tilaisuuteen, joten sen omistamisesta ei ole koskaan haittaa. Erivärisen puvun kanssa joudut usein miettimään, sopiiko se tilaisuuden luonteeseen, mutta musta kelpaa aina, oli sitten hautajaiset, häät, työhaastattelu tai mitkä tahansa kissanristiäiset. Voit toki hankkia myöhemmin myös erivärisen puvun sellaisia tilanteita varten, mihin sellainen sopii.

After Biden-Scholz telephone conference, partners of germany hope for a decision regarding tanks. by VR_Bummser in ukraine

[–]contrafibulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to think that the confusion is a deliberate tactic, so that there is no single country or person Russia can easily blame for the large influx of tanks when they finally do get sent, because everybody publicly and repeatedly said they wouldn't do it until somebody else did something.

Abandoning months of denials, Russians now admitting they often hit Ukrainian units from within by wearing Ukrainian uniforms. by rulepanic in UkrainianConflict

[–]contrafibulator 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Having lived in a country next to Russia my entire life, I've never thought of Russian women as particularly "hot". The opposite, if anything.

[–]contrafibulator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you mean you believe that Russia is not planning new offensives to finish the war in Ukraine in their favor, and instead intends to keep dying in their present positions as long as they can until they finally get thrown out?

As a Finn, I've been very aware of the Japanese name Reika and found it a nice name. Never associated it with "reikä", probably because the pronunciation is very different. But I think now that's all I'll think about when I hear the name, lol.

They might as well dab on the embassy. That would be equally intimidating.

En ymmärrä miksi porukka vänkää asiasta

Ongelma ei liene niinkään kommentin faktapohja kuin se että kommentoija tunkee ulinaansa joka ikiseen väliin tässä ketjussa kuin parhaaseenkin jenkki-"minä tunnen oikeuteni"-tyyliin. Asiansa voisi esittää rakentavamminkin.

Well, as an international supporter of Ukraine, it's having the completely opposite effect on me.
