Could you explain me what there is assumtions? And what there is scaremongering?

  "if there is ever a civil war in Russia", "If Russia starts to move Syrian refugees ..." and "Nobody gives a fuck about Syrians in Syria" are assumptions. Scaremongering: the process of saying or doing something in order to deliberately make people feel worried or frightened [http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/scaremongering http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/scarem...]

    I assumed that I was talking to international crowd. Who don't really care too deeply about Finland, but would appreciate perspective. I really didn't think anybody would be scared, save maybe other Finns. I started those two sentences with the word "if", making no judgement on how likely they are. Do you suggest that in HN it's not cool to gauge options and speculate? "Nobody gives a fuck about Syrians in Syria" This is admittedly my personal perception. The only article in finnish so far that actually suggests political action to help Syrians in Syria, that I have read was also written by me. I have a hunch that you are too a Finn. And that you read between lines bit too much.
