  1. "Before the war, policymakers were calling for the Finlandization of Ukraine. Now, they are calling for the Ukrainization of Finland." That is one for the textbooks.

  2.  @Luiko0406  It funny how a comedian makes, not only a better president, but a better patriot than a spy. President Zelenskyy stood strong for the rights of his people and the territorial integrity of his democratic country. Compare that to a war criminal like Putin.

  4.  @puskamuha9000  Using the definition I gave... If Finland joins NATO, it would be essentially "Ukrainized". Finland would do this because it finds Russia's actions to be more and more aggressive. So to protect themselves, they are seeking to be the collective help from Article 5 (in case Russia gets any ideas). And this isn't just half-assed guesses because nordic policymakers have been saying as much in their parliament and press conferences.

  5. And now... Turkey, satisfied w/ concessions, has agreed to not veto Finland's & Sweden's application. It is actually happening now.

  7.  @cliveengel5744  So are you saying that Putin's lies are justified because US lied about WMDs being in Iraq? Comparing Ukraine to Iraq or Serbia is short-sighted. Slava Ukraini! And may the Russian people take back control of their own country from the clutches of Putin.

  8.  @cliveengel5744  I have come to the conclusion that it is too detrimental to argue w/ someone that can't formulate proper persuasions. Your thesis/claim is weak and paper-thin, and you support it with barely relevant facts -- half of which were embellished. And now you add this contradictory comment which is even more irrelevant and damaging to your claim. I suppose you can keep arguing but I have already won this debate. Goodbye.

  9. I keep thinking to myself: What if Putin sought a diplomatic resolution without giving the West unreasonably ultimatums. What if, the NATO's unity was strong and didn't need a European war to come together. What if, Moscow actually invaded in a more orderly manner that doesn't lead to war crimes and civilian deaths. What if, Putin just backed down when he realized the "Special Military Operation" was doomed. What if. What if. What if.

  10.  @Morphosisone  They didn't say that. They simply observed that the current geopolitical calculus of Eastern Europe is radically different compared to before Russia's Invasion.

  11.  @tanura5830  The entire world knows that this isn't about Zelensky wanting to keep power or NATO provoking Russia. The truth is: 1) President Zelenskyy was voted in by the Ukrainian people and he can get voted out because Ukraine is a democracy. Lets not forget to mention he only just got elected in 2019 -- vs Putin who has held power for more than 20 years. 2)NATO was fragmented and disorganized before 2022, and it was hard to get a unanimous motion for any joint initiatives (much less for sanctions). It only united stronger than before because of the threat of Russian belligerence. 3) Even if it came to war, so many people ESPECIALLY civilians should not have died. The UN Charter's and international conventions' Rules of War are very clear. Yet because the Russian War Machine's conventional capabilities are ineffective, Putin instead chose to take it out on Ukrainian civilians. In history class, if you heard of such a war, your opinion would obviously be less biased.

  12.  @freezedeve3119  ... It wasn't rocket science. If Europe kept buying Russian gas. Russia can control western economies and politics. It is simply about being able to make your own foreign policy without being held hostage because of fuel. Plus most European nations are nations that have signed the Paris Climate Change Accords.

  13.  @freezedeve3119  Nice try... 1) US doesn't have the means or enough intent to export its surplus resources to Europe. And if they did, they would already above the necessary logistic over to Europe. 2) Unlike Russia, US exports liquified natural gas. 95% of European NATO members nations that are addicted to natural gas do not have the needed infrastructure to store and transform the liquid stage. 3) Russia is still in control of the supply of Europe energy resources. When Russia invaded Ukraine, it was Europeans that were getting hurt by sanctioning their #1 seller. Even Germany, who depends on Russia for 35% of all their energy. But they did it anyway. Not because of the US but because they wanted to stand up to Russia's belligerent actions. (Kinda noble and honorable in a way...)

  15.  @larrysherk  LOL in a conversation between Russia and the West, you wanna blame NATO for corruption? Have you seen the Kremlin? Or Lukashenko's regime for the matter?

  17.  @puskamuha9000  "Call" here is used to represent a geopolitical mindset. No one is actually calling for "Ukrainization" but for Finland to change it political mindset because post invasion of Ukraine changes the calculus of Eastern Europe's relationship with Moscow.

  18.  @YorkerEli  Well. Bear in mind, Russia actually has a long history of subjugating Finland. After WW2, Russia only didn't invade Finland because of Finland being forced to sign a mandatory neutrality treaty. And in exchange Moscow would respect its neighbor's sovereignty. For 70 years, this worked. But now an unprovoked Putin invaded and violated the sovereignty of a bordering, democratic nation under false pretense. Of course, Finland would see Russia's belligerence as a threat to its national security and seek increased protection.

  22.  @syeducchash2301  Ukrainization = a country defending their people, rights, and land as opposed to just rolling over for a power hungry war criminal like Putin.

  23.  @puskamuha9000  "Ukrainization" is the political equivalent of slang. It means for a nation that used to be in the Soviet sphere of influence (ie: Finland) to become more democratic and/or westernized. It can mean seeking closer ties to EU / NATO in Ukraine's case or applying to join NATO in Finland's case.

  25.  @ernstwiltmann3918  Sigh 1) Putin lied to his people and launched a full-scale war in Ukraine (a brother nation) while claiming it to be a "Special Military Operations". 2) Putin claimed his goal is to denazify Ukraine, even though radical, far-right elements have mainly been dealt w/ after the annexation of Crimea. Plus, Pres. Zelenskyy is a Jewish family that directly suffered from the Holocaust. 3) When Putin realizes that this war will bog down the Russian War Machine, he decides to purposefully target Ukrainian civilians (close brothers of the Russian people) with indiscriminate artillery -- especially in Mauripol and the east. Now please explain to me, how any of this was Ukraine's fault? There is no way Russia is "justified" in this war.

  26.  @cliveengel5744  Sure. Blame the country that is helping Ukraine's resistance for freedom and not the country that invaded Ukraine. The country that is butchering Ukrainian civilians and starving the world w/ a military blockade on trade. Stop supporting fascists. Support Freedom. Slava Ukraini.
