Putin is shaking his sword so much I can't even see the blade.
Vibroblade
Maybe he can become a helicopter and fly the fuck away.
BTW it is Shojgu and Medeveideviedev are the sabre rattling. Putana is the calm and collected intellectual that jokes.
It is club actually, which makes it even more impressive
I hope they simply send even more arms to Ukraine. Fuck Russia.
You can donate yourself as well, Ukraine has an official platform for donations: United24.
I doubt they would get much use out of me, if I donated myself..
Yo Finland. How did it go the last time the Russians attacked you?
Unfortunately they lost Karelia. It wasn't the great victory the memes make it out to be.
While Finland lost, the difficulty the Soviets encountered during their offensive was noted by the powers at the time. It was another factor convincing the Nazis that invading the Soviet Union wasn't as terrible and idea as the balance of resources and forces would suggest.
Historians still debate whether the Soviets intended to conquer all of Finland at the onset of the war. While the eventual peace treaty left Finland ceding more territory than the initial Soviet ultimatum demanded, Finland retained its sovereignty, which was incredible given the disparity in military power and the existence of a puppet Finnish communist government.

The Finnish are just getting started
Has the US/west made any statements or moves towards moving nuclear weapons into Finland? Seems like that would be unnecessary.
Doesn't matter. Any nuclear attack on ANY NATO ally is seen as a direct attack on the US/NATO members.
This is just a dork waving his 3 inch dick.
Finnish legislation strictly forbids storing nukes inside our borders, even transporting them via our territory is a no-no. But laws can be changed.
Putin's whining about nuking Finland is ridiculous. Most of the time the prevailing winds here blow to the general eastern direction, detonating a nuke or few above our capital would nicely contaminate both St.Petersburg and the Finnish Gulf right in front of it. And using tactical/strategic nukes against our defences would happen near the Karelian border, which would irradiate Putin's and his cronies precious dachas located in the stolen Karelia.
So they most likely won't be doing that. But on the other hand Russia has clearly demonstrated that their actions are not based on rational thinking, so it remains to be seen.
Russia has nukes in Belarus and Kaliningrad Oblast.
Double standards and pussy sabre rattling. All they know is huffing and puffin.
We often loan weapons to allies. I have not heard Finland ask for nuclear weapons.
If only there was an easy way to have kept Finland out of NATO...
s/Russia/Putin/g
That means we should put nuclear weapons on Finnish and Swedish soil
