This is relevant how? I asked about a hypothetical scenario: would the USA violently suppress a Pro-Russia Party of Finland. That seems to have caused a crash and you fell back to your default rhetoric.

No. Vatnik said: > Just to clarify: the "we" who would like to join is a government that was installed by the USA in a coup. What kind of "attacking and oppressing" happened before the coup?

And the Yank said that only the US of A gets to have anything to do with geopolitics because "we are just better that's why". Oh, and "because all my life I've been told Russians are evil".

Putin is unfortunately right, you understand only one kind of argument.

Living in a country that was occupied by russians and gets constant threats by russians to be invaded again. Being in NATO and EU is the best available security guarantee.

No one needs to tell me russians are evil. It’s just something you pick up living next to russia.

Also your threat “putin was right” proves that you are, in fact, evil.

My friend, what you're doing here is called gish galloping. [1] Pick something you find truly compelling and stick with it. A lot of the things you're saying are poorly supported, misleading, or probably plainly false. And FWIW I'm not saying you're doing this intentionally. "We" have been in an information warfare mode for the past 2 years, and the truth is only just recently starting to come out of this mess. We pr…

> what you're doing here is called gish galloping. It wasn't me who changed the topic from blaming Poland for Hitler's invasion, to denial of the well-known persecution of indigenous peoples in Russia, to calling international human rights organizations weapons against the glorious Russian motherland. Denial of mistreatment of indigenous peoples is particularly nasty, because it has been a cornerstone of dissident Ru…

Imagine I had a different perspective than you, tough to believe - I know. Now of course you are right, or you wouldn't think like you do. So wouldn't you want me to think, like you? Thus instead of turning to absurd hyperbole, speculation, ad hominem, straw men, and all other sorts of really great ways to debate a topic, why not simply try to calm down and coherently express yourself? I am genuinely curious, but your style of debate and discussion is a pretty big turn off.

So here, it seems to me that your biggest and most compelling issue with Russia is the mistreatment of ethnic indigenous groups? But the article you linked to uses a lot of words to say very little. And what it does say is so absurdly one sided that it just completely omits any sort of detail whatsoever. For instance:

---

Pressure on Sulyandziga began after he organised public hearings on pressure on an Evenki Indigenous community that developed a jade mine on their ancestral lands.. In 2012, the mine was taken over by the Rostec state-run corporation focusing on defence and hi-tech... That year, criminal charges were brought against community leaders, leading to confiscation of jade and land, activists say... Sulyandziga claimed he was accused by state officials of “separatism”, “espionage” and embezzlement... In 2016, Sulyandziga left for New York to deliver a speech at a UN session about Russia’s Indigenous rights situation. He says he never returned because a high-ranking security official told him that intelligence services planned to kill him and present his death as “suicide”.

---

What was the conclusion of the charges? Why were they initially made and/or dismissed? What happened between 2012-2016? How did a random indigenous tribesman in Russia find himself able to present a speech in front of the UN? I feel like this article is trying to appeal to my emotions, and not my logic. I want details, I want logic, I want evidence. I want something that doesn't assume I already agree with the premise of what's being said, and thus will just happily accept anything they say.

What really made you take up the issue of indigenous peoples in Russia as such a key cause? Was there some significant event that happened? Is it something personal? I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from, and perhaps with such I might be able to see the world through your eyes. Make sense?

It's more about frustration with hypocrisy than being evil. When your friends kill in Gaza - "that's different", that's freedom, it's for democracy. It's not like the West shies away from cruelty when advancing its interests. You just choose to be blind to the brutality, that's all.

The only one who started the military intervention here is russia. russia attacked Ukraine. Ukrainians had enough of kremlin puppets.

No, USA doesn't violently suppress Orban or Fritz.

Stay on point.

I don't want MY HOME to be occupied by anyone. In the last 100 years the only ones were nazis and russians. russians are doing the same again in Ukraine and are threatening to do it again in my home.

There is nothing hypocritical about not wanting my family being killed or raped by russians or anyone.

You say "your friends kill in Gaza"? Who would those be? I have said nothing about who my friends are. I said NATO and EU are protecting my home from russians. As for Gaza, Israel is not in NATO, also not in the EU.

There is a GPS in the terminal and I can guarantee the gps data is transmitted to Starlink noc/hub in real time. It's trivial to geoblock terminals.

It's also fairly doable to spoof GPS if you care to. And I'm talking about the earlier satellite communicators, not Starlink, which can indeed easily triangulate.

At least for maritime terminal many of them can use external GPS source, so it is very simple to spoof GPS. However, that would also mean the terminal would connect to the satellite on wrong frequency as it would think it is in a spot beam it is not and as such you would get crappy signal or no signal at all. That said, many geo-satellites spot beams are the size of Ukraine, so it doesn't matter that much if you just need to move your position a kilometer or two.
