Invading via Finland isn’t a thing. Ask Bonaparte or Hitler. There’s nothing up there but lakes, mud, and mosquitos.
Where were Russian speakers being killed by government-backed neo-Nazis for the last decade? In eastern Norway? No, in eastern Ukraine.

Where's that? Is it near Leningrad?

Ok I get it now. You guys are living (or LARPing in) a fantasy world where the Soviet Union still exists and Russia isn't a right-wing revanchist kleptocratic dictatorship.

A swing and a miss. You asked a dumb question so somebody else asked you a dumb question. You're being made fun of.

Why is it that you liberals consistently cannot understand when they're being made fun of? It's pathological.
