  1.  @Damn6real  Finland fought its own Continuation War (1941-1944) with the Soviet Union. That one, too, the USSR started.

  2.  @Damn6real  Are you condemning the USSR for aggression or celebrating its successful landgrab? Please clarify.

  3.  @Damn6real  I'm curious, are you also condemning Russia for collaboration with the fascists? I'm just trying to establish if you're a hypocrite.

  4.  @Damn6real  So, to make it abundantly clear, you condemn Russia's collaboration -- as the dominant national republic of the USSR -- with the fascists between 1939 and 1941 as per the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and culminating in the joint invasion of Poland? Also, I can't help noticing that Russia has rehabilitated Stalin. Not only that, the previous admission of the USSR having started the Winter War unprovoked seems to be overturned. You've reverted to your old lies, in other words.

  5.  @andreaWBW  We agree on that, so stick to the topic at hand.

  6.  @Damn6real  For the sake of peace? Those were the terms on offer. Likewise, Russia had to like it or lump it when it signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918. The terms of the peace treaty were clearly unfavourable to Russia, and historians rightly concluded that Russia lost WW1 -- to a loser. You had better get used to such an outcome, because I'm convinced that history is going to repeat itself with regard to Ukraine. When Russia finally signs a peace treaty, the terms won't be favourable, but Russia will sign, if only to save what can still be saved of its economy. I'll ask you again, which crimes did Finland commit? Remember, guilt by association won't do, because otherwise we have to convict Russia of the very same crime.

  7. @Skittle9999 It's enough to nick a subsea power cable to put it out of action. When its outer insulation is perforated, the electricity is automatically switched off. Repair means replacing the damaged portion.

  8. It's not like Russia was in it for the copper, although I'm sure they need all the money they can get.

  9.  @Yuri-z2y  You must've missed the memo about the Baltic Sea having become a NATO lake.

  10.  @Yuri-z2y  You just confirmed that you haven't read the memo. You're out of your depth in this convo.

  11.  @Yuri-z2y  You struggle with English idioms. Quelle surprise.

  12.  @andreaWBW  What about whataboutism?

  13.  @Damn6real  You still haven't answered my question. Do you or do you not condemn Russia's collaboration with the fascists between 1939 and 1941? We need to establish whether you're a hypocrite or not.

  14.  @Damn6real  Don't diverge from the issue at hand. I put a clear and simple question to you. You're frantically dodging it by going off on all manner of tangents.

  15.  @Damn6real  So you admit to and condemn Russia's collaboration with the fascists. I just wanted to have that established.

  16.  @Damn6real  Which crimes in particular did Finland commit? All you seem to have is guilt by association. I think we established that Russia is also guilty by association. We're going around in circles <yawn>.

  17.  @Damn6real  What a cop-out. You may want to use civil language. I caught you using ad hominems earlier.

  18. What's there to remember?

  19.  @amandapeluso4217  Uh, why-oh-why would Saudi Arabia export oil to Russia, or from Russia? Russia has trouble getting rid of its oil as it is and Saudi Arabia has no shortage of it either.

  20.  @amandapeluso4217  Your curt response could suggest that you do, but I'm not holding my breath. Not your style, I guess, to explain yourself? And don't like your own comments. It's seedy.

  21.  @amandapeluso4217  So you don't want to explain yourself? I figured as much.

  22.  @amandapeluso4217  You're projecting. The oversensitivity is all yours.
