“Longest record of war crimes” *British Empire has entered the lobby*


Alksi_

Cant do war crimes if they are not invented yet


BorkOnWasTaken

Luv attacking Africans, hate the Hague, simple as!


TheSpiikki

I wish they'd visit Finland. USS Kearsarge was an impressive sight itself, I can only imagine what a full blown modern aircraft carrier looks like in person.


frienmademevegetable

Yes please fuck the russkies


Skyjafire_117

We *are* very good at the whole badass warship thing


Zpik3

Can those even get into the Finnish gulf?


TheSpiikki

I'm sure "she" could take that big American aircraft carrier! 🥵


Keisari_P

Bigger cruise chips have been build in Finland, than the aircraft carriers, so sure, they could come. That would just be kind of unnesessary, as there are friedly airbases all over. Having a aircraft carrier means you can wield power or their planes anywhere on the planet. But as the ship itself IS sinkable, so it's more safe far out in open water surrounded with protective fleet, scouting for submarines and intercepring missiles. No room to meaningfully do that in Finnish gulf.


Zpik3

I don't know of any cruise ship that runs as deep as aircraft carriers.. But if you have examples I'd be interested to know more.


deedshot

Of course they can, they aren't 100km wide


Zpik3

It's not about hte width my dude, it's the depth.


Insulting_BJORN

It cant öresund isnt more than 11meters deep, the uss gerald r ford is 13 meters deep.


Nyuusankininryou

There is also a bridge in the way. Maybe it's high enough. I don't know.


Insulting_BJORN

Draft is 12-13 meters and its 78 meters tall, so about 65-66 meters sbove the waterline.


Insulting_BJORN

No it cant, öresund is to shallow.


Varans

While Öresund Strait might be too shallow, most big ships pass through the Great Belt which has a max draft of 15 meter. HMS Prince of Wales with its 11m draft was in the Baltic Sea last year so USS Gerald R Ford can pass through the Danish Stratis.


finlionjunior

Huge pacifist hippie L. In an ideal world we wouldn't need nuclear weapons but we don't live in an ideal world. Nuclear weapons and NATO is the best deterrent against the imperialist and genocidal ruzzians. Ameritards aren't perfect especially their leaders but they are better than the alternative by a huge margin.

Also a massive L targeting the individual soldier. In the hell hole they come from, becoming a soldier is one of the best career paths for many that can't afford college. The individual soldier isn't some imperialist warmonger. It's a person trying to forge a life for himself and potential family.

TheRomanRuler

Yeah and the American soldiers who are stationed in Europe are usually quite all right. I might be wrong but i actually have image of them being smarter than most Americans at USA.


tradermcduck

I've always had the impression that Americans who have had the chance to see other countries are usually pretty alright. The smarter thing may be correlation or causation. Idk


Ok-Reporter1986

Both options are frankly bad. Having two "super powers" is necessary, only one would be terrible for autonomy of their allies unless their allies are actually equal to them.


Few_Category7829

Yes. There is no one, US supporting or otherwise, who shouldn’t be in favor of increasing European independence, in energy, in agriculture, and in military. Regardless of what superpower is in control, even a benevolent one, the Allies should never ever be an afterthought.


Ok-Reporter1986

Agreed.


CaptServo

Russia is not a 'super power'. It is Mexico with nukes.


Ok-Reporter1986

No?


Alex_von_Norway

I dont understand pacifists, especially in these times. They just sound like they're into submission and would surrender instead of fight to defend their country.


finlionjunior

They probably just have a bdsm fetish where daddy putin dominates them.


[deleted]

Yeah i also find it so regarded that people try to tryhard peace and pacifism when your neighbor is dedass Russia…. Like be realistic. Ukraine would be ruzzian by now if NATO didn’t force european countries to use a few % of their GDP to their military. Also Ukraine would probably be Ruzzian without American help by now


CaptainCanuck15

Nuclear weapons are essential to our world being a mostly peaceful one. Without them, the Cold War would've probably been a real one, India and Pakistan would've engaged in multiple wars, etc. It makes politician and generals afraid of war.


Pasi65Pirkanmaalta

USA has not really been opposing the increased nuclearisation of nations enough and their use should absolutely be banned, even if having them were to be legal. The nukes aren't really what is keeping Russia at bay, it's their whole industrial military complex that produces armaments far better than what the Russians have.


Few_Category7829

Their use is de facto banned, save testing purposes, to the same extent that a legitimate ban by international authorities would be, because those international authorities don’t have substantial power. Any country that would actually use nuclear weapons in combat would be an international pariah. In this case, the nukes are the sole thing working to the Russians advantage, not the other way around. Nukes are the thing that prevents a direct war or the threat of it with Russia from occurring, in which case Russia would be absolutely fucked by the US military.


Secure-Particular286

Incredibly stupid how they say "we" as if the entire national agrees. The US sucks but this is just stupidity.


GalaXion24

Ok-Reporter1986

"We" refers to the group that placed the posters.


NordWithaSword

A big L. An L in intellect, an L in foresight, an L in situational awareness, an L in self-preservation and an L in empathy. Only fools think they'd be better off without NATO in this situation. America isn't perfect, and they have a past of being imperialistic, antagonistic and not caring much about anyone else. They are, however a much, much better alternative and partner than the feudal empire of ryssland. When americans complain about their government, they don't fall out of a window the next day. It's good to keep in mind what a profound difference that is.


Oo_oOsdeus

One good example is how they would treat wrong doings by their own military. Take f.ex. Abu Ghraib vs bucha.. others end up in court and the other gets medals. So even if US is far from perfect they are clearly the better alternative.


mr_greenmash

You forgot. An L in spelling and knowledge of English.


xXxMemeLord69xXx

"A past of being imperialistic"? They have a present and probably a future of being imperialistic too. Their latest invasion of a sovereign country was just a few years ago. That is not "in the past". They haven't learned a thing and they will do it again. They are just as imperialistic as Russia, and as members of NATO we are forced to support that. The fact that Americans have democratic freedoms almost makes it worse, because that means that the people have the power to stop the wars, but don't. In the case of Russia you can conceivably blame it all on Putin, but in America the entire population must be rotten.


Ok-Reporter1986

Maybe or just you know lobbying and options that both support this "imperialism".

Ok-Reporter1986

Thats inevitable though if US has troops in your country you really don't get a say.


[deleted]

I see posters like this in Stockholm sometimes aswell criticizing our NATO application. They’re a bunch of entitled stupidly idealistic hippies. Their military has nukes? Oh no! They have to destroy them and thus show Russia how wrong they are to have nukes and then they’ll dismantle their nukes too! Because Russia is anti USA so Russia is good! Russia/China is just threatened by the USA you see! Then to say that their military has the worlds longest record of war crimes is just wrong and insulting to victims of war crimes. It’s common that they’re just hypocritical tankies that support anything anti-US (including Russias actions). Truly the type of people that you know you’d despise if you had to meet them.


GalaXion24

The whole anti-nuclear thing is so strange. Of course I do think nuclear _proliferation_ is bad, but a nuclear umbrella is good for us. My only concern is that I don't think US nuclear weapons are as serious a deterrent as a European deterrence would be, but without developing a common defence policy and strategic culture it's difficult to implement I suppose. Thenagain reportedly the EUMC has no difficulty reaching consensus, so I guess if your take professional soldiers and put them in a common environment, they'll figure it out. I wouldn't be against a common EU military and doctrine that's developed by military experts. Political oversight is fine, but politicians are probably going to make it all about the nation or costs or political theater, so it's better if they just oversee the process.


[deleted]

I think the largest hurdle to an EU military is which companies are gonna get the contracts. The French have a tendency to play ugly when it comes to this. Ideally it’d be completely meritocratic without government involvement. The only requirement being that the tech is EU controlled, it’s manufactured, developed in the EU, the company is located in the EU, etc. Where the manufacturing takes place shouldn’t be to big of a problem you could just spread it out evenly. That would take political will but if we get to the point that we agree on a common EU military then I assume it’s there.


wiwerse

Fucks sake, I'm at a festival today, and the revolutionary communist party was here. Hate those fuckers. Just because I'm against NATO membership, doesn't mean I'll support those fuckers, nor advocate against the US. I do the latter because of other reasons.


Krieg_Imperator

Indeed. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Pacifism is only possible because there are men who are capable to do violence on their behalf.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Krieg_Imperator

Exactly my thoughts. If you are nonviolent and weak you're not a pacifist. You're harmless


EntForgotHisPassword

Surely you do know that the U.S. has done terrible war crimes? Burned, raped and killed whole villages in Vietnam come to mind immediately. No consequences except for one officer getting dishonorably discharged. To say that pointing this out would be an insult to "real victims of war crimes" seems like insanity to me.


Zpik3

Naturally. Every nation in history to have gone to war has committed warcrimes. We just didn't document them during most of history, shit we didn't even call them warCRIMES, it used to just be "tactics". The USA is a MUCH younger country than MOST european countries.. trust me, they are still amateurs in the warcrime department compared to europe.


[deleted]

Of course they have. “Every” single nation that has ever been to war has committed war crimes. But you’re right it might have been a bit tone deaf to call it an insult to real victims of war crimes. My point is simply that the awful shit the US has done doesn’t mean that the US or the US military is a force for evil. And it sure as hell doesn’t mean that the alternatives aren’t much much worse.


Dirac_Impulse

Before talking about the US, maybe you should bring up Storfinland?

Haanipoju

Norway was one of the founding members of NATO. Just some pacifist hippies being angry that the world is not a utopia and we need defence alliances to prevent war.


amazegamer64

“Longest record of war crimes” my country is sadly not that based


muchnamemanywow

L, not because the US military has done some seriously fucked shit that people just gloss over, but rather because at the end of the day, it really isn't the soldiers' fault. The soldiers of the world's armies are victims in the politicians' games, to be used and discarded like trash after they fulfil their purpose. Putting up posters to guilt the soldiers isn't gonna stop any wars, but it might breed resentment between the soldiers and the Norwegian people, making cooperation in the case of an actual global war needlessly challenging.


Immediate-Double3202

If have to choose between two bad sides then you choose the less evil side and US is definitely much less evil than Russia.

Russia can't even invade their neighbour, but still we are scared they would somehow invade Scandinavia. But at least now we can sell more bombs.


Salabungo

nice logical leaps


Sometimesiworry

Literally used logic. Russia can't even conquer third world country which it neighbours. To invade Sweden they need to go through the narrow border to the north or manage to cross the sea. Conclusion: they do not have the logistical or military capacity to do so.


Salabungo

1. where was Sweden discussed? 2. why does allying the us lead to increased sales of bombs? It should decrease since we can utilize theirs Stick to being a mechanic 😉


Sometimesiworry

Sweden is the only country in the Scandis not a member. Our military exports will obviously increase as we tie closer bonds to other Member countries. I'm not sure why you're trying to diminish the value of my opinions by saying I'm a mechanic as if it's something negative.


Salabungo

Post is regarding Norway If we didn’t cooperate with the US, we would have to ramp up production ourselves which would be more expensive

Export means selling a surplus. Buying what you need is called import. I'm discussing export.

SkinSofteningSemen

I hate these people so much, these big city people are probably the same people who vote to increase the wolf population so normal civilians can't feel safe, while also voting to keep the boar blacklisted. Probably the same people who are telling us to boycot local farmers because "muh animals are being tortured, buy meat in the store no animals were hurt there". They think they are so civilized and have to speak above everyone as if their opinion is the objective correct and everything else is morally inferior because they come from inbred ultra racist farmlands and forest dwellers. They talk about everything having to be self-sustaining, which is great, except their cities aren't self-sustaining, they depend on the farmlands. But they also hate farmers and actively partake in economically harming the people who feed our country, and that we instead should just import food from foreign countries forever as if their farmers don't do the same that ours do. It's the same process, except more expensive. That's like saying buying clothes made by child slaves is okay because it didn't happen in our country, it happened in eastern asia but its okay because its far away from us despite the fact that we are supporting them financially.
