Finland's President Stubb argued: "Yes, it is time to start negotiations with Russia."
* I would like to know why it was not considered a good time to speak with Russia four years ago. Our political class boycotted diplomacy for all these years while hundreds of thousands of young men died, and put us on a path toward nuclear war that we are still on. Anyone who argued for diplomacy was smeared and censored by our radicalised political-media establishment. So why was it considered immoral to speak with the other side then, but not now?

Does your mother have a moustache and a beard?
If you're cheering for more war, *you* don't understand war.
@GarethBHughes@JamesMelville I'm pointing out that he's not delivering what he promised. I supported him when he ran, but this isn't what he ran on.
If you think he's not starting a war here, I'm not sure where to start.
@GarethBHughes@JamesMelville Indeed. The peace is overwhelming. Just look at all the peace we're getting.
Look at how the neocons are silent and defeated.
Good times bro ✌🏼
