@AhlstromSimo @lewdert @VFinnishProbs it still costs plenty of money to train and equip 900k people for a threat that does not really exist anymore. Russia wont be a threat on the ground militarily for decades

@beezelbubba @lewdert @VFinnishProbs So what? You do understand what means to be "reservist" ? People work and live like everyone else, sometimes you might get a invite to go for a military drill. Why give up on reserves because Russia can't win in Ukraine? So that they could win here in future?
English
Never underestimate MAGA arrogance.
Finland has a reserve army of 900,000.
All winter trained.

@VFinnishProbs @iseenowmyprob finland would hide in the snow as we took it they would just watch with their 7 guys thats like half the finnish military in that picture
English
@AhlstromSimo @lewdert @VFinnishProbs Do you at all pay attention to the situation in Ukraine? Russia has been losing more men than they can replace, the vast reserves of mothballed fighting vehicles has been depleted and wont get replaced anytime soon. Russia as a ground force is barely a shadow of what it was
English
English
@lewdert @AhlstromSimo @VFinnishProbs Russia is no longer a major ground force, they are still a nuclear power but thats about it
English
@beezelbubba @AhlstromSimo @VFinnishProbs The Finnish military doctrine is based on the concept of total defence and with Russia being as offensive as it is, Finland is going to prepare for whatever it may be that Russia might do
English
@AhlstromSimo @lewdert @VFinnishProbs If your 900k reservists are there because of Russia, and Russia is no longer a military threat in a ground war, why do you have 900k reservists?
English
@beezelbubba @lewdert @VFinnishProbs ??? So now we have to figure out a new enemy because Russia can't attack? Is this American way of life?
English
@lewdert @AhlstromSimo @VFinnishProbs What is Russia going to attack with? They have no more armor, they have no troops. They lose more men in Ukraine than they can replace at this point
English
@beezelbubba @AhlstromSimo @VFinnishProbs This situation is for when the need for assisting troops is critical, NATO is very aware of their situation and currently Russia is the biggest threat to Finland, so the likely hood (IF anything happens) is that NATO will be sending troops to defend Finland, not vice versa
English
@lewdert @VFinnishProbs Sure, what you lift capacity? How many transport planes in your airforce? Let me answer that for you, its 11 planes (and I would wager they are not all in flight ready condition)

@beezelbubba @VFinnishProbs Due to being NATO members, Finland must have the capacity to deploy Defence Forces' troops to assist another NATO member country as well as the capacity to receive troops from other member countries to Finland.
English
@AhlstromSimo @lewdert @VFinnishProbs A member country invokes article 5 and requests assistance from all the other members, I guess you could load up trains and head out 1940s style

The "leave no man behind" doctrine is actually a strategic weakness disguised as a virtue.
Name one other military on earth that destroys 6 aircraft and fights a ground battle inside a sovereign nation to recover one pilot.
You can't. Because no other military confuses tactical sentimentality with strategic logic.
Soldiers serve the mission. The mission doesn't serve the soldier.
The US has now established that Iran can shoot down an F-15, then watch America spend $300M and expose Delta Force trying to prove it didn't happen.
That's not military doctrine. That's politics with weapons.
A military that cannot accept the risk of loss cannot win wars. The US hasn't won one since 1945.

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.
English
@lewdert @VFinnishProbs Sure, and when they have to defend a NATO partner, what then?
English
@beezelbubba @VFinnishProbs You see, we don't.
Defense Forces. They defend.

@HaroldWren22 They have no navy, they have no heavy airlift capacity, all they can do is send a strongly worded letter of complaint

It’s amazing how many Canadians, using this app, get insanely offended when you point out Canada’s areas of weakness - like declining standard of living, declining productivity, declining healthcare access and soaring youth unemployment. Apparently, advocating for a stronger and more prosperous Canada makes you public enemy number one.

@sentdefender As an Englishman, this is a friendly reminder to the American administration not to insult the sacrifices of our war dead, last time we joined you in the Middle East. It might make us feel that you’re an unappreciative and unworthy partner in the future:

The United Kingdom will refuse to allow the United States to use its airbases, particularly RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia which long-range strategic bombers with the U.S. Air Force have previously utilized on a case-by-case basis to carry out strikes on Iran, for missions that target Iranian bridges, power plants, or other civilian infrastructure, citing concerns that such strikes could harm civilians and constitute war crimes, senior officials tell The i Paper.

@Michael_Yon @HealthRanger You have high school graduates who cant read\write or perform basic aritmitic or think for themselves going to College where they have to relean the basics before getting a useless degree that they take on 6 figures of debt to obtain.

@HealthRanger American universities are bombed by intoxicants and brainwashing.
The “war on weed” goes back to somewhere back there…. I saw this in a dope museum in Amsterdam. No idea if the “facts” are straight. After all, it is a dope museum.

What's truly wild is that even after Trump bombs most of Iran's universities, Iranians will still be smarter and better educated than "woke" American college graduates who can't read, write or think.

In France, we get 80% of our energy from nuclear power ignorant fool.
We are the only country besides the US with a nuclear aircraft carrier, the best fighter jet in the world, and enough nukes to wipe out any country down to the cellular stage of evolution.
But yeah, go punch a kangaroo, you little US vassal country without history.

Europe is genuinely retarded. I really don't know why they think they have any negotiating power in any of this. The region is bankrupt, they produce nothing, they have no intellectual talent, they are a net energy importer, and they have practically no defenses. They are totally, utterly fucked. The last place you would want to be right now is Europe.
I cannot for the life of me understand how stupid you have to be to be a European 'leader' and not understand how fucked you and your people are. If they are not panicking, they should be.
Harold__Finch@HaroldWren22
Most Europeans have no idea how absolutely furious with Europe America is. This is not just another disagreement. Betrayal is not something you just let slide. And the mouthy responses from Europeans are pouring gas on that fire. They have misjudged the situation gravely & it will have grave consequences for Europe— economically AND militarily.
