If you are interested in Finnish and Finnic history, revolutionary Russia or the Interbellum period in Europe, I recommend you check out these documentaries about the Finnish Kinship Wars I've subtitled into English. (1/4)

@eagleeye2805 What?? Why would they do that???

You Czech and Polak Chihuahua nationalists will soon have your comeuppance 😄❤️. You treated your German minorities like shit post WW1 and you committed mass genocide and ethnic cleansing post WW2: 12-14 million German civilians expelled, mostly women, children, and elderly, of whom 1.2-2.0 million were often brutally killed. You are not better than us.

@danker_ran18632 Who is asking for money?

@NotisAlarik Lol, I'm from Europe and I do know we need the money from the USA.

Americans really think Europeans should let themselves be threatened and extorted with no consequence.

@Red_State_Rebel It comes as a surprise that treating allies like enemies has consequences.

@NotisAlarik We think we should stop defending Europe if you won't let us refuel our planes.

@Arrekisu That came out funny. Try again.

@NotisAlarik No, you guys think we should allow iran to do that.

@cornu__copia @teortaxesTex I knew her as a kid.

@teortaxesTex One long-time actress of the most famous Finnish "soap opera" is from a major noble family and the great-great niece or something of the most renowned Finnish WW2 hero Adolf Ehrnrooth, after Mannerheim.

would be an abnormal background for a Western actor One thing I've noticed is that there's a somewhat tight caste segregation in Western societies. Hawt celebrities come from the waitress-nurse-bouncer-gym teacher class, and specialize into "performing" early. Asians… less so.

@SlaterAdri59064 That's the situation now.

@NotisAlarik Maybe they think that Europeans should put their bodies between Russia and their population and only call on American support through NATO in the event they are actually invaded

@tincanvetph Europe is currently re-arming.

@NotisAlarik Why not? You elected to remain defenseless post-1991.

@civilibilly Because this is what the American administration is saying and these are its sycophants.

@NotisAlarik Why pretend this MAGA-tard is saying something representative of Americans at all. It's a pretty specific type of idiot online shrieking about how the Europeans won't help us with our illegal war. Even on the right, it's not particularly popular. Lots of propaganda pushing it.

@FOregonian @BitxFatxStonk It makes and has made plenty of sense for the past 80 years, which is why USA has maintained the alliance. Actively sabotaging this relationship is what's nonsensical and it seems to be mostly motivated by a myopic view of international relations and resentment.

@NotisAlarik @BitxFatxStonk Yeah if you are European and are terrified of Russia. It makes no sense from an American perspective.

@subataxia92 By US of A.

@NotisAlarik By who? Because it's not us doing it numbnuts, but you choose to be mad at us about it.

@iseenowmyprob @CodyGurka Nonsense.

@NotisAlarik @CodyGurka The US needs to secure its flank against the inevitable European betrayal. Americans can clearly see that now.

@baxondaxonbax @CodyGurka Treating you allies as enemies seems like shooting yourself in the dick.

@NotisAlarik @CodyGurka Who gives a fuck what the Danes want? America is the big dick and you guys are shooting yourselves in the foot.

@GYoursefl50011 Thanks.

@NotisAlarik The consequence is you fucking with Russia. We're not going to fight Hitler's war for you. We're not going to pay for it. You're on your own. Have fun.

@Mentat097 Which one is USA in the current scenario?

@NotisAlarik I'm pretty sure the Russians and the Germans extorted Finland into formally joining the Axis powers at one point in history.

@NikolajHeinsen But they are echoing the stuff coming straight out of the Trump Admin. Is that a Russian campaign?

@NotisAlarik The "Let's Hate Europe" goobledegook is an obvious Russian signal boosting campaign involving very few actual humans. Americans as a whole support Europe and NATO and do not approve of the Iran war. Twitter does not convey public opinion at all it tries to shape it.

@Kingkiko61 @KenRoth @LarryBoorstein Brain circuitry fried beyond repair. Terminal case. This is what the real TDS looks like.

@KenRoth @LarryBoorstein Actually, the guy’s a genius. In one fell swoop Trump ripped the mask off of the incompetent, ineffective, untrustworthy and irresponsible European NATO members, who’ve actually come to the aid of Iran, Russia’s major ally. Russia helped Iran develop ICBMs that reach Europe.

Trump's speech on Iran "was perhaps the clearest evidence yet that the leader of...the world’s predominant superpower is an utterly chaotic thinker, whose aptitude for his job—never obvious to begin with—appears to be in accelerating decline." trib.al/M5JPO1N

@USronaldcarter Trump really shat the bed this time. Can't solve the problem without escalating and boots on the ground, can't leave without looking like a loser. Did his best to alienate allies and is now crying about them feeling less inclined to solve his mess.

I just got off the phone with someone who works in defense policy in Washington. What they told me should end every "Trump is reckless" argument permanently. "Every single president since Clinton received the same intelligence briefing on Iran's nuclear timeline. Every single one was told the window was closing. Every single one chose to kick it down the road because the political cost of acting was higher than the political cost of waiting." Trump got the same briefing. 60kg of 90% enriched uranium. 4 weeks to breakout. Material for 2 bombs. He chose to act knowing it would tank his approval to 35%. He chose to act knowing his own base would split. He chose to act knowing NATO allies would refuse to help. He chose to act knowing gas prices would spike. A senior analyst I know at a major think tank put it this way: "The difference between Trump and every president before him isn't intelligence. They all had the same data. The difference is courage." Read that again. Every president had the same file on their desk. Only one opened it and did something. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

@danker_ran18632 No one is asking for money.

@NotisAlarik Stop asking for money then.

NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets. The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural. Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them. That identity is now the single biggest obstacle to Western survival. And the darkest irony is: we helped build it. After World War II, Europe wasn’t just economically shattered. Its culture was in ruins. The cities, the universities, the concert halls, the museums. Rubble. The Marshall Plan rebuilt the economy. But culture wasn’t a priority. Not at first. Then the Iron Curtain dropped. And suddenly culture became a weapon. American diplomats, academics, artists & scholars flooded Western Europe. We funded their universities. Supported their orchestras. Rebuilt their museums. Promoted their intellectual life. Not because European culture needed saving for its own sake. Because Eastern Europeans were struggling for Maslow’s mist basic needs. We needed the view from the other side of that Wall to be intoxicating. So America built Western Europe into a showcase of self-actualization. Art. Philosophy. Cafe culture. Long vacations. Universities where people studied literature instead of surviving. We were manufacturing jealousy. And it worked. The Wall came down. But here’s what no one accounted for. When you give a society self-actualization on someone else’s tab long enough, they forget it was a gift. They start believing it was organically theirs. And when they look at the country that funded it all, a country busy building aircraft carriers and semiconductor fabs and shale fields instead of reaching the Maslow’s pinnacle. An overweight American in a ball cap who can’t tell Monet from Pissarro. Who eats fast food. Who drives a truck. Who builds strip malls instead of piazzas. And to a culture trained in aesthetics but stripped of strategic awareness, that American looks uncivilized. So the arrogance takes root. And once a culture decides another is beneath them, they stop listening. Americans say wars are sometimes necessary: crude. Oil is the backbone of prosperity: unsophisticated. Kids build companies in garages that reshape the planet: crass. Wall Street finances the global economy: vulgar. Europe has no world-class technology sector. No military capable of strong defense. No energy independence. No AI capacity. What Europe has is culture. The culture we paid for at the expense of us reaching Maslow’s pinnacle. For decades that was fine. We funded the museums, protected the sea lanes, and tolerated the sneering because the arrangement worked. Then Europeans stopped keeping the contempt private. They started saying it to our faces. In their media. In their parliaments. At every international forum. “Americans are stupid. Americans are violent. Americans are a threat to democracy.” We could have moved the Louvre to NY. We could have built a Venice here. We could have stolen your best artists, designers, philosophers and more… like your conquering armies did for centuries. Instead we funded them. And all we asked for in return was to let us visit. You don’t have the military to defend your borders. You don’t have the technology to compete. You don’t have the energy to heat your homes without begging dictators. What you have is an 80-year superiority complex FUNDED BY AMERICANS, protected by American soldiers, and built on the false belief that self-actualization is civilization. It isn’t. Civilization is the ability to sustain itself. By that measure, Europe isn’t a civilization at all. It’s a dependency with better wine. That’s not a threat. It’s a weather report. Build a Navy. Or don’t. But stop lecturing the people who made you “better than us” Our “crudeness” our “stunted liberal education” our “ugly strip malls” are because we sacrificed our culture to support yours.

@BitxFatxStonk It makes sense when you think about if for two seconds.

@NotisAlarik No. But why should we be allied though. Doesn't make sense does it.
