  • you want to call it exists as less than 10 missiles. And of those, already two have been used.

    maybe you give me source?

    This is the first thing that I found with a quick internet search. It’ll give you enough pointers to find the rest of the information, I’m sure! So, here goes: https://www.eurasiantimes.com/russias-game-changer-oreshnik-missile/

    Maybe you tell the international agreements?

    Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate-Range_Nuclear_Forces_Treaty

    And then: There were blog posts analyzing the debris of the Rubezh missile launched back in November and December 2024. The debris shows that it is not a new development. It cannot be directly proven that the Oreshnik and Rubezh are the same missile, because Rubezh, being against treaties signed by USSR, was a very secret project, of which only very little information leaked. But, the debris shows that the “Oreshnik” missiles were made around when we know Rubezh had been made. And they are missiles for the same purpose. It’s unlikely that the Russia would have developed two separate missile types for the same purpose at the same time.


  • “the West’s hype”.

    Heh.

    The Rubezh/Oreshnik/Whatever you want to call it exists as less than 10 missiles. And of those, already two have been used. They were made almost 20 years ago and include components whose production was ended in 1990’s and can no longer be produced by any factory in any country.
    The only reason Lukašenka is talking about the Rubezh missiles is that Putin wants to scare us into giving Ukraine to the Russia. I haven’t really seen any western hype of the Rubezh in the way Lukašenka talks about.

    And furthermore: Rubezh is a type of missile that is banned by international agreements on reducing the nuclear danger. That the Russia has held to almost ten of those for several decades tells a lot about how dangerous the Russia is. While others have stopped using such mid-range ballistic missiles and have scrapped them, the Russia had just hidden them. And now has dug them back out and put the laber “Oreshnik” on them. Them having launched already two of their Rubezh (or Oreshnik, if you prefer that name) tells that they only use them for the purpose of scaring. If they really planned to use them for something serious, they would not launch one fifth of them without nuclear warheads as they have done now.

    A cheater country, such as the Russia is, must fall.


  • Whenever I’m going abroad within Europe, for a bit over month before that, I start buying stuff only with banknotes. I put all of the coins made in Finland or (other) Baltic countries in a separate pocket and then make sure to use those during my travel.

    It feels nice that people get to see coins that they don’t see that often. And at the same time, I’m increasing the relative amount of non-Finnish coins in Finland, which I also think is good, as that helps people here notice that there’s more to the EU than just Finland :)

    I would guess it’s unlikely that all that many other people do the same.













  • BBC News says it was said using a megaphone when talking to a large crowd:

    Petro shared a video on social media of him addressing a large crowd through a megaphone in Spanish on Friday.

    He called for the formation of a “world salvation army, whose first task is to liberate Palestine”.

    “That is why, from here in New York, I ask all soldiers in the United States Army not to point their rifles at humanity,” he said. “Disobey Trump’s order! Obey the order of humanity!”


  • You forgot to read the end of my comment.

    We are almost completely in agreement.

    (Of course Trump’s rhyme and reason are irrelevant here. The president of Colombia is not known as a moron and there is a demand for him to act like a diplomat even when visiting a moron. But, Trump, Mussolini and similar make an exception: the charter of Human Rights is the most important piece of rules there is, and it basically requires everybody to behave that way. Therefore: unusual but acceptable.)
