@MarkGaleotti@thetimes So, basically, Ukraine should stop hitting Russia where it hurts? Meanwhile, Russia is striking Ukraine with total impunity. Why not tell Russia to stop?
@maximkireev So it’s like having a children’s show character wearing a Nazi Grenzpolizei cap then, no? Your point is not as good as you seem to think it is.
@julesrimmer1@MarkGaleotti Exactly. I appreciate Galeotti’s work, but deeming this appaling ahead of what Russia is doing in/to Ukraine, is basically grading Russia on a curve. To put it too politely.
@AZvejsalnieks This is why I love the inscription on the so called King’s Gate at Suomenlinna sea fortress in Helsinki: ”From desolate lands, these Wolf Islands have been transformed into a Suomenlinna. Progeny, stand here on your own foundation, and do not rely on foreign help.”
