I'm an engineer but watch a lot of economics on YT because I want to know how to deal with them. People like Ian Bremmer are pretty good at explaining economics. WHAT THEY ARE HOPELESS AT IS EXPLAINING TECHNOLOGY. At 1:51 he asks "would the Ukrainians be able to pull it off?" From an engineering and logistics point, NO and that has been discussed by many including military people. 1) Ukraine has no direct access to the Baltic Sea. 2) Ukraine has no submarines of its own. 3) This is NOT a Bridge or a drone dropping an incendiary onto a tank. This is an undersea pipeline AND SO YOU ALL KNOW. These are not simply pipes to help them sink and stay in place at the bottom of the sea they are encased in concrete. So to blow up a section of these sorts of pipelines is several orders of magnitude above blowing up a bridge. This is at the pinnacle of underwater demolition. The number of nations and people capable of that skill set at those depths is very limited.

There's a few videos here on YT that detail parts of Finnish education system. I'm Australian and this is was shown on one of our prime time news & information programs when there were some questions about our standards. The main point being teacher qualifications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xCe2m0kiSg It aggravated certain parts of or education establishment. Both my parents were high school teachers and they were speaking about this sort of stuff 25-30 years ago. In a nutshell Finland hasn't just mouthed off about the importance of giving every child a decent education they have actually done it. Part of that is the drive to have the best trained teachers in the world, which they've done. Finnish society puts a value on teaching as a profession and educating their nation as a priority. If you listen to some of the socioeconomics people many of them talk about the advantage of being better educated in a more technical world. Where do you think the Finns are headed?
