“Punitive action”? Every nation has a right to control their borders. Maybe if Russia didn’t manufacture a crisis in a ceaseless destabilization effort there wouldn’t be a need for such actions. But, quite honestly, “if Russia didn’t” starts to become the “humanity now if Russia didn’t” meme.

It’s almost like that’s my point. They’re protesting that Finland reacts to hybrid warfare by Russia… by protesting in front of the Finnish parliament.

Of course they wouldn’t do that in Moscow to stop the reason for the closure because they’d be clobbered into the pavement.

It’s hard to distinguish the people and the government, when the people are protesting about what a democratic country did to protect it’s citizens against an autocratic warmongering state, it’s aggression and subversion stategies.

In other words, they should do a protest like that in Moscow, see what happens.

It’s not russophobia. Nobody sane is afraid of russia anymore. But hostile actions must meet reactions.

Well, speak of the devil. I was both. When one suffers, it is the way of life to spread suffering.

What would you like a person like me to say? That I was wrong? Sure. Do I still want to beat the everloving shit out of the people that perpetuated that against me first? Sure. Would I understand the guy that I was bullying to do it to me? 100%.

I suppose it would make it even. Regardless, the meme is applicable. Teachers knew and ignored the fact that I was bullied, but fuck me if I ever stood up for myself.
