Make no mistake - this is #ukraine today.
”…while the Finnish people protect their homes and independence, it also protects Western civilization…”
These were the words of Finnish President few days after #russia had invaded Finland in -39.

The personnel of the Mine Counter Measures Vessel Vahterpää was awarded the Non-Article 5 Vigilance Medals by NATO. The medals were awarded on the basis of Vahterpää’s deployment in the NATO Standing Mine Counter Measures Group One activities last year. ⚓️💪🏻

It is still like the Finnish president Paasikivi said in the 1950s: ”The difficult thing is that we cannot trust the Russians to keep the agreements, but rather to break them.”

Tuhti paketti #Nato -tietoutta https://t.co/RcTjc6ZPtR asiantuntijoiden hyvin kirjoittamana. Vahva lukusuositus.
Kansakuntana olemme uuden oppimisen tiellä, koska Nato on paljon muutakin kuin sotilaallista varautumista ja suorituskykyä.

Tässäkin on tod.näk. #Venäjä llä sormensa pelissä. #Serbia potentiaali eskalaatioon on rajallinen, jos se ei halua riskeerata suoraa yhteydenottoa Naton kanssa, mutta sitäkään ei em. syystä voi poissulkea. Kaikkeen on syytä varautua nykyisessä tilanteessa. https://t.co/Gl5BOG8xB9
I'm sick of pro-Russians saying that 'Crimea is intrinsically Russian'.
(Thread 1/)
So let's take a look at just how 'Russian' Crimea is... and how it came to be that way.
---
Crimea's original population was NOT Russian, of course.
The idea that Crimea's population was 'always Russian' is absolutely ridiculous - and is an absolute lie as well.
Crimea's original population were Crimean Tatars - most of whom are now extinct.
This is their story.
Näiden leikkeiden (@iltalehti_fi) viesti maailmasta on jotain, mitä en olisi uskonut koskaan näkeväni.
Toivottavasti se mene liiaksi ihon alle osalle suomalaisista, koska sen kaltainen polarisaatio sataa suoraan #venäjä laariin.

The NATO Exercise Programme Alignment Conference (NEPAC) aligns NATO and National Exercise Programmes twice a year - but this iteration was special; the first NATO-organised event to take place on Finnish territory since its accession to the Alliance! #StrongerTogether#Finland
Suomi on nyt Naton jäsen.
Onko jokainen Suomen varuskunta jatkossa Nato-tukikohta? Monesta suunnasta on viimeisen vuoden aikana todettu, että on.
Asia ei ole kuitenkaan ihan näin yksioikoinen. Varsinaiset Nato-tukikohdat ovat lopulta suhteellisen harvassa. 1/8🧵
The 1st picture was taken from outside in on the 20th June last year. The 2nd on the 28th August from the inside out.
For me this symbolizes the past year as today the 31st flag will be risen to join the others.
And now the real work begins as one of the #Allies.

History also teaches us to be skeptical of first reports, reductive explanations, and single-perspective narratives. It encourages the habit of asking questions, pursuing answers, and analyzing experiences from various points of view.
Future naval officers must understand U.S. and global history to lead effectively in the fleet. This is what the U.S. Naval Academy is doing to meet that imperative.

1-3. Zelensky's surprise visit to Bakhmut.
The optics of this visit are great. I imagine RU mill bloggers will be going nuts - while Putin gives awards to propagandists etc in the Kremlin Palace, Zelensky awards the foot soldiers in one of the most dangerous towns on the front...
Marraskuu, sota Euroopassa sekä huoli työkaverien ja alaisten jaksamisesta. Huoli myös meidän kaikkien tulevaisuudesta.
Ja sitten on… Kaunialassa @mpkkfi kadettikuoro ja @KaartinJR soittokunta. Liikutusta molemmin puolin - joskus yllättävät asiat antavat voimaa jatkaa.
#Russia's genocidal actions in #Ukraine have shocked the world. On episode 2, of #RuZZiaUnmasked, with Nicolas Tenzer, @NTenzer, we explore the ideology of destruction, of Putin's regime.
