state-sponsored spam.
> As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too.
- quickthrowman 2y agoHe has a point about history. Russia is the reason that Finland still has compulsory military service. Finland is also the only European country bordering Russia (excluding Norway and its small border w Russia) to escape being a Soviet Socialist Republic after WW II. Sure, they allied with Nazi Germany to accomplish that, but they joined the allies against Germany eventually.

- dzeimis 2y ago> Kaliningrad Oblast How is it relevant here?
- bonzini 2y agoI guess in the sense that Poland also borders Russia via Kaliningrad, and wasn't part of the USSR.

- quickthrowman 2y agoI’m aware of Konigsberg/Kaliningrad. Was Poland occupied by Soviet troops for 49 years after WW II? Yes. Was Finland occupied (at all) by Soviet troops after WW II? No. Poland was a de facto SSR, Finland was not.
- bonzini 2y agoOh I understand and agree.
