[quote:Anonymous Coward 85892000:MV81MjM1ODY2XzEwMDY1MTgyNV80QkIyRjFCOQ==] [quote:Anonymous Coward 85892000:MV81MjM1ODY2XzEwMDY1MTc2NV8yNDgyNzM4MA==] Cold War Finland-Russia. The confrontation between Russia and Finland has reached a new level of tension, we note seven strategic steps taken by Russia in the pursuit of a complete victory over this new NATO member. Step One: Cutting off energy supplies to Helsinki. As a result, energy prices, as well as prices for goods, heating and services, have skyrocketed. Second step: The cancellation of timber supplies. This had a huge impact on the timber industry in Finland, as well as the use of wood briquettes as fuel. Many factories were forced to look for new sources of raw materials, which had a significant impact on their costs. Third step: Disconnecting Finland from the electricity supply. Domestic electricity rates skyrocketed, having a significant impact on Finnish consumers. Fourth step: Beginning construction of a Russian military base on Gogland Island. This step implies full control over ship traffic in the Gulf of Finland, considering the island a strategic position. Fifth step: Breaking the Saimaa Canal lease. Finland expects to lose the most convenient transport route for its goods, which could seriously affect the economy and trade. Sixth step: Massive refusal of Russia to buy many Finnish goods, including specific products designed specifically for the Russian market, such as paints, cardboard, paper and printing products. And, finally, the final blow: The banning of Finns from entering Russia. This strikes a blow to Finnish citizens who regularly travel to Russia for cheap goods and gasoline for their cars.

I hope Finland will be happy when we make up. [/quote]

To be honest, I know squat all about the battle. I see the larger global implications but the day to day wins and loses for both sides 'meh' above my non paygrade. SO carry on. I can't ban AC's because that would ban them in total from other threads. And I have no personal bans. So, for the great posters there...carry on, or better yet, start another.
