HP ink printers and multifunctional devices have hugely dumped price to compete with alternatives, and HP plan was to make profit on selling ink cartridges for insane price.
So, there is funny situation appeared with HP multifunctional devices - you could buy a printer+scanner cheaper than separate scanner. When people use that things just like a scanner, HP have butthurt - they sell their device may be lower than prime cost and didn't get the rest from selling ink cartridges.
Really, that's all just greed and stupid attempts to think out stupid ways to cheat over customers. In that case HP just overcheated itself.
Of course, in the perfect world such behaviour should be at least condemned, and all wearable and consumable things used in any machinery and devices like printer cartridges should be standardised among all manufacturers, just like USB/network/display connectors or batteries. However our world is far from perfect, so, for shure, we wil see more such ridiculous things like in OP with growing ridiculousness.
Nope. It’s just a degree. Your MBA isn’t that important in the business world.
OK, got it.
What’s more important is the people you know, which is why it’s so important to go to the right program and be a part of the right societies when pursuing business, especially as someone who doesn’t come from an established family.
So, it is more like self-reproducing circle. You have to get a connection with some top manager to become top manager connection with whom will be necessary to become top manager and so on...
Any rules regarding where you’re allowed to work are usually only related to non-compete clauses in a work contract. Occasionally you can be barred from participating in certain industries as a result of legal action but that’s rare and there are usually loopholes you can work around.
So, only 2. could be used for manipulation. If personal contacts in right circles is most important, then it is the lever that could be used.
As far as I understand, if you in a good relation with that right circle, then, even you failed some business, you will always find a new job. If you are thrown out or disliked by that circle, you have a little opportunities even if you was a perfect CEO.
Is NACD a forefront of that "right circle" for top managers in USA, or it is some unimportant organisation?
Your degree isn’t retracted. Your license to practice can be taken away. It’s different.
Yes, different, but result is the same - you can't monetize your degree, or at least left with much worse opportunities.
So, what about MBA? Could it be retracted or could holder be somehow restricted in practice on misbehaviour determined by third party?
The board of directors have lots of power
Shure.
What percentage of shareholders actually vote on items that come to vote by shareholders?
Mostly they choose the board of directors and sometimes CEO and change them if they don't bring profits. It is a lever, but hardly this could be controlled by small stake.
The participation rate is probably very low.
It depends. If majority of shareholders are satisfied with how board of directors doiing business, they will be silent. And if some minority shareholder will try to replace them, they definitely will challenge that.
Back to the board of directors. I think that's where lots of the power is. They even have more power than the CEO even though we often focus on who a CEO is.
It could be both ways, depending on who is directors and who is CEO. Sly CEO could easily manipulate board of directors who took position of observers, or vice versa, smart directors who participate in management and planning will hold CEO in a tough grasp.
In any case, to push some woke narrative into business, at least CEO and board of directors should support that narrative, 5-10% of shares definitely not enough to push all that woke stuff if CEO and board do not support it.
Other option is a huge market manipulation to make an impression that woke businesses are better assets, so most shareholders begin to demand woke agenda, but again, that investmetns funds with a lot of tiny shares everywhere will have huge losses in both ways if they will try to inflate that woke bubble by themselves - they will have to constantly buy woke shares for overprice and will lose on selling non-woke businesses below the market. They will not be able to do that because most wealth they have is in shares and they barely have free money to play that. Selling non-woke shares and buying woke ones will end with obvious fuckup with having tons of shares of broken woke companies without any good assets left. Investment fund clients, who obviously need profits, not losses, will tear fund managers asses apart for shure.
So here we again come from investment funds to stock market owners who could manipulate market without spending any money by just faking digits in stock exchange computers to fool the traders to kickstart them into ramping up woke stocks and then sustaining that state.
Or there should those who print money come to play.
All that still 36.15%, not 51%. Not enough to control company.
Who owns the rest 63.85%?
I didn't get that.
OK, Vanguard with BlackRick owns 16.22%. Far from 51% to have a total control over business decisions. As far as I understand, they hardly will even have any significant voice in that business with their miserable stake. All they could do is to sell their stakes and temporarily slightly lower the price of company stocks. But this will not interfere with business itself, and its profits, only create some short-lasting discomfort among owners.
Who owns the rest 83.78%? Who owns control stake? Who have majority over board of directors (or whatever top business authority in company)? Aren't top managers had specific education or belongs to specific group? Aren't entities that graduate MBAs today have some interesting mandatory course or whatever? Could MBA degree be retracted after graduating if somebody does not follow some rules, like attorney or MD degree could be retracted if a lawyer or a doctor will say or do something against narrative or consensus?
Looks like there is something else, much worse than simple proxy with small stakes everywhere, and that Vanguard/BlackRock boogiemen are just a distraction.
Also interesting that it become very common to say that BlackRock/Vanguard owns 90% of businesses, like they fully own and control them or at least have control stake. But that is not true, yes, they have stakes in 90% of businesses, but that stakes are toщ small to control that businesses. If you have 5-10% here and there you do not have control, you just have a little profit from multiple places.
I think there is something very fishy with that strange narrative about proxy funds that have insignificant stakes everywhere. They could be not only proxy for somebody money, but also proxy for narratives and distraction.
Interesting what is really behind that incident, when those who was grown came after those who grow them. Such things usually signify some critical changes behnd the scenes.
Something like - f.e. Orthodox Jews theoretically have to be anti-LGBTXYZ+ inside their own circle, but perfectly fine with pushing LGBTXYZ+ narrative onto goyim. At some moment useful idiots become so vigilant, that looking for that awful white supremacist anti-LGBTXYZ+ bastards, they could find out that their masters are highly anti-LGBTXYZ+. And we are getting a show of the toad fuck the viper and vice versa.
Yeah Idk. I mean there is soo much on the Soviet passport. What comes up if you search?
Why should I search anything about Soviet passport? I had one and lived noticeable part of my life with it.
What makes that soviet passport so different from any other ID used in other countries for exactly same things? Is it its form of a small book, or its naming? Why USA driver license demanded even to buy a beer in a grocery is OK, but somehow Soviet passport that was used mostly same way is suddenly something awful? We didn't have many cars in USSR, so driver license was not a thing everybody had. Interesting, if a USA citizen do not have driver license, how he could buy a bottle of beer or whiskey? What ID would he show to the cashier to prove he is adult enough to buy it? Or driver license is mandatory for every American? Or he will be denied?
What Dutch International Institute of Social History could know about USSR at all? And for some reason I'm shure that this Kessler guy never even visited USSR. He began to lie from the first sentences. Soviet passport never was "restrictive" and there was no any "urban residence permit". And for completely unknown reason (it is sarcasm, meanwhile), I never heard that somebody from the West named German Anmeldung as "urban residence permit". Where could I find an articles about horrors of "urban residence permit" in modern Germany? Again, we didn't even need to show any ID to buy a ticket and travel around all country even by planes. Soviet people even don't need any ID to open a bank account - it named "bearer account". Tell me please, in what country could I open an anonymous bank account without any ID today?
As for all that ID thing - criminals have no problems with fake IDs, so IDs are shurely for identifying and surveling over normal people.
This have nothing to do with reality. Again. Where did you get all that bullshit?
"Propiska" was kind of household ownership certificate in your ID named "passport". It meant that you have a right to live in that household and have access to local services. Some government services, like car registration, f,e. was available only at place of your living. Most public services, like medicine, education or whatever was available everywhere, regardless of that stamp in passport. In rare special cases "propiska" could limit movement only to so-called "closed" towns where top secret military factories resided. Only those who had households in such towns (and so proper "propiska" stamp in passport) was allowed to came in. Inhabitants of such towns was free to travel anywhere and in no way was restricted to leave the town. How that rare case could be used to make a conclusion about global restrictive nature of "propiska" is out of my imagination.
USSR internal passport had nothing to do with limits on movement. It was just ID and was rarely needed in everyday life. If you moved you had to get a new "propiska" stamp. It was not that government permit you to move, it was like you inform government about your new household. Really, people hate that thing, because it was time consuming, with all that lines and gathering papers with stamps in different offices, but something tell me that people hate governement services all around the world for exactly same reason, regardless of country, political system and so on.
Rural inhabitants without passports just don't needed them. There was no any need for any "permit" for anybody to travel or move anywhere since mid-30s when Jewish Bolsheviks was exterminated by Stalin. One of my grandfathers was a worker at a state farm, deep in rural area, he had no passport or any documents at all except secondary education certificate and birth certificate. Once he decided to continue his education in university in Moscow, he just laid off from farm, get train to Moscow, passed exams and become a student. He got a passport only few years later, just in case, not because it was necessary for something.
Funny, AFAIK, in USA you need SSN and/or driver license to do most things with government and even private banks and other services, and have to, say, register your car in the state you permanently live, you can't permanently live in NY and drive a car with Texas plates. How is it different from USSR internal passport system? SSN is named SSN and not a "passport" and that somehow makes SSN acceptible and soviet passport awful?
Really, I think humans don't need all that ID shit and should nor be forced to have one, nor limited to have only one, it is needed only by state, so it is a purely state problem, not a problem of individual and state could GTFO and resolve its own problem by itself.
But regarding some extraordinary evilness of Soviet passport in comparison to USA SSN, European passports/IDs and other similar stuff around the world, it is complete bullshit. It is the same thing, just named "passport" in USSR.
Death by COVID is something that could be completely non-existent. AFAIK there still no single proof that somebody died from questionably existing virus, not just with positive PCR that could not be used for testing by definition.
Better death by COVID treatment protocol created by that bastartd. By whatever means induce severe pneumonia, then forcibly put on ventilator along with all that remdesvirs or whatever shit they used. Efficiency could be even higher than firing squad.
That's not true. The goal was to have your needs met with in one neighborhood, it's very similar to the 15 min city even if people weren't restricted that was their goal to keep people in one area.
There was no goal to keep people in one area at all. How that worked - financing was either from a government, for districts with weared housing, either from a factory to build a district for workers families to attract workforce and have it closer. Obviously in most cases only one member of family worked on that factory, in the case of government renovation that was not a case at all. So, around half of such district had a job in another part of town. In large towns only tiny amount of district inhabitants had a job in that district. Public transport was cheap as dirt or even free, so there was no problems in having job in other parts of town.
And of course limit the ability to be self sufficient at all / unable to live off the land. 1917-1930:
If you are not aware, rare Soviet family didn't have a vacation house (dacha) with a piece of land. That kind of rest for urban inhabitants, with growing own food was even propagandized. Also it was possible to rent (for a very symbolic price) a piece of farmland and grow your own potatoes or whatever for food. Such recreation was encouraged by authorities.
According to plan, a local resident could have spent his whole life in this neighbourhood without feeling any need for something outside of it: this place had shops, nurseries, schools, an institute with dormitories, factory, and even a crematory.
Never heard about such plans. Yes, there was groceries, shops, kindergardens and schools in every district, but that was not to limit inhabitants, but to make their life more comfortable, to not force them to waste much time on everyday things. There was never any restrictions on choosing a school with better teachers in other district or visiting pub on another end of town. They build subway lines between districts in large towns and there always was enough public transport and roads between districts. Also, at larger scale, tourism, vacation travels, tours, cultural education by visiting different places of USSR was higly propagandized officially. Communist Party thougth that all this stuff is highly useful for better efficiency of workers and pushed narrative that Soviet citizen should visit every amasing corner of USSR. They literally encouraged people to travel. Enterprises people work on even give out vouchers for different voyages and cruises for free. And we don't even need any ID to travel, even on planes. Only in mid-70s Aeroflot began to ask for ID for plane tickets and boarding, and not by its will, but by demand of fucking ICAO for the planes tha could theoretically reach abroad. Short local routes with small planes still didn't ask for ID until USSR fall, I traveled from Kherson to Simferopol around 1987 on plane without any documents at all - just got to small field airport, bought a ticket in a booth, take a seat in airplane nearby and that's all. Just like on a bus.
I lived trough it, and I spend all my childhood exactly in such khruschevka district. Nobody, never thought, told, even rumored about any restrictions you find today in 15-minute city agenda. I just know that USSR districts was complete opposite to what is now pushed as 15-minutes cities, and even opposite to modern urban architecture as whole. Having a kindergarden and grocery nearby does not mean you was somehow limited only to that grocery and kindergarden. It was just fucking logical and convenient to have a grocery and kindergarden nearby, and that's all.
I perfectly understand the desire to somehow scare normies about 15-minute cities idea. But why use blatant lies about USSR to do that? All they know about USSR/Russia they know only from the lying mouths of USSR/Russia worst enemies. Why continue with that lying? White lies are lies too.
Really, I don't understand many western approaches to the problem of informing normies about inconvinient truths. F.e. in that case you (or whatever person that choose that approach) obviously afraid that normies will be bought with grocery and kindergarden nearby, and all that "green" bullshit. So, you are trying to somehow show that grocery and kindergarden nearby is bad. To show that it is bad you choose a lie that in awful USSR they already had groceries and kindergardens nearby. Why not to try use USSR approach as an example of much better alternative, with groceries and kindergarden nearby, with real green environment, cheap and affordable and without any restrictions? Normies like groceries and kindergardens nearby, and green parks too. And especialy they like affordable housing. They hardly will protest against 15-minute cities if you tell them that groceries and kindergarden nearby is bad. They will not see any profit in that.
To defeat the idea of 15-minute cities in the heads of normies, you have to show them a better alternative. Propose something better and show that they are tricked. And then they probably could protest and demand alternative. Show them that they could have a nice, really green district with tons of trees around, with groceries, kindergardens, schools, and all that with affordable housing, like USSR did, instead of that western urban idiocy with buildings on each other glued together along the narrow street withour single tree with enormous household prices that need hard restrictions of movement to become "green" and higher taxes and total surveillance to get grocery and kindergarden nearby. They just need to demand extermination of any land market speculation, laws about minimum land area around multiapartment building that could not be developed for other buildings and green light for pre-fabricated architecture. Not so impossible demands, and some developers with manufacturing capacity useful for pre-fabrication even could lobby them for profit. Normies see that they can get what they need without anal probes on the borders of district, anti-15-minute cities movement get support from business.
Normies don't need more scare, they need answers and solutions. While you deny to provide them and offer only scare, you will lose again and again.
One of the main goal of prefab multiapartment buildings was to place workforce closer to the workplace.
Also, all necessary utilities - public transport, shops, kindergardens, everything people need was also build in that areas.
But contrary to 15 min cities idea, there was no any limits or restrictions on travel or whatever.
Also, it should be taken in account, that this khruschovka districts was built very sparse - each apartment building have a lot of space around, for gardens, parks, parkings, playgrounds, sport fields and so on. Schools and kindergardens often placed in the center of such district. There was a rumor that such sparse building positioning was choosen to avoid falling of buildings one on another in case of nuclear bombing. Anyway, as one who grew in such khruschevka district, I state that in any case, this districts was really cool from the useability point of view. You had everything you need right on your doorway, with plenty of nature in between. I find them much more comfortable than modern urban districts where buildings rised one on each other and there is no place for anything. Things get worse when renovation came to that khruschovka districts. Instead of one 5-storey building developers began to build 2-3 17-22-storey buildings. So, no any gardens and parks at your dorway anymore. In the best case there will be small car parking and degraded playground, not even talking about hockey box or tennis court. This was one of the reasons I moved into rural area.
Overall, the only drawbacks of khruschovka districts was the size of apartments (~40 sq.meters for 2-room apartment on average) and medium quality of buildings. Everything else was very comfortable.
After USSR fall nearly all apartments become a property of inhabitants, so, yes, most Russians own their apartments. Rural houses was personal propertiy always, even in USSR times. I'm too lazy to look for proper value, but 85% of home ownership looks close to the truth. Also, take in account that noticeable part of tenants really own realty in another town. Most part of tenants are youth who want to separate from parents and those who moved recently looking for better job. With high probability they will buy an apartment in future.
When free market came, suddenly, land in town become a very expensive thing, so developers start to increase density of apartments per square kilomenter of land to insane levels. There are still some khruschovka districts even in Moscow or Petersburg, but they will not last forever. Developers, sooner or later, will destroy them and build their stone jungles for profit.
I think that this stupidity about land in towns and developers trying to build apartments as dense as possible is one of the worst consequences of capitalism. Realty, in whole, turns very weird mess if you apply all that "free market" things to heavily social area like urban life. Growing number of town inhabitants rise the price of land and realty, so developers trying to make maximum profit just escalate things further, and you end with a dense megapolis with trafic jams, insane density, overpriced housing and all that problems. Some cities tried to solve that problem, like Munich in Germany where developer can't build more than 5-storey building and have other restrictions, but any of such solutions are always criticized by developers and realtors as uncapitalistic, soviet and so on.
All in all, Soviet khruschovka districts have nothing common with that 15-minute cities of NWO. They was quite opposite phenomena, resulted from industrialisation and soviet approach to solve the post-WWII housing crisis in the fastest and cheapest possible ways along with absence of city land price restriction. And they are not failed, really. They was destroyed by developers driven by greed. If developers would have been forced to build only more comfortable and reliable replacements for khruschovkas, this districts could become the best possible urban realty you could think of.
Catch one and study it with microscope. Also, if you are right about only single fly at a time, if you will keep one alive, next will not come.
Flies are pretty simple creatures, and higly probably, different flies from one local bloodline will behave very imilar when get into same house. Same environment, same behaviour. Fly in, sit on that thing, move to next one, here is human with odor, here is bright screen and so on. Next fly, same track.
And that fucking creatures love to sit on computer screens! That truly annoys.
Teach your cat to catch them. This works. Kind of. :)
I want to know which moron spends time and money on carbon dating dinosaur bones.
I want to know that too.
Either it is highly disturbing sign of complete degradation of educational institutions that produce a "specialists" who know how to use things, but have no any idea how they work, either it was done with purpose, to discredit scientific methods as whole in the eyes of normies. Either way it is a clear sign of something malicious, and by itself could be a huge rabbit hole.
I could easily imagine a conspiracy to discredit scientific method in whole to get rid of the only real way of finding truth about world around. With MSM one could manipulate herd about distant events, but it is still hard to manipulate first-hand expirience. F.e. it is hard to push some "global warming" if everybody have outdoor thermometer. To break that last connection with reality, one could try to destroy the process of perception itself, forcing herd to listening only for "experts" and not trusting their own observations and measurements.
C14 have a limit of ~30k years. You will get similar results with any object older than 30k years. It is like trying to measure single hair width with a school ruler - completely senseless.
Measuring C14 in any object older than ~30k years will just measure inevitable C14 contamination from atmosphere, bacteria, or algae.
Really, C14 dating is not used for dating paleofauna. Paleofauna age is estimated by layer formation time, where the remnants was found.
C14 dating is used mostly for proving antiquity of human artifacts made using wood or other plant materials, with assumption that they was made from fresh material, because C14 show the point when the plant died, not when artifact was made. You could easily make a "1000 year old chest" that will easily pass C14 dating test if you find a 1000 year log. Just don't use screws and aluminium brackets to assemble it. :)
No Sweden wasn't part of a hard nato border. Norway, Finland make. Sweden doesn't even need to be in Nato to be in Nato. It effectively is. Scandinavian treaty.
You missed the part with unanimous voting in NATO. More members, more tensions, less chance of getting unanimous vote. Simple as that.
Sent tens of thousands of Fins to gulag,
So you suspicious to moonhoax, may be even don't believe in holocaust, but for completely irrational reasons blindly believe in jewish gulag myth? Do you understand that it is exactly same kind of lies like holocaust purely for profit and shaiming?
There was Finnish POW, during WWII, but far less than tens of thousands. something like 2000, around 500 died. And after peace agreement most of them returned back to Finland. From the other side from 60000 Russians around 15000 died in Finnish concentration camps. Finns also participated in Leningrad blockade. Really, I think, Finland, as a state, still owns a lot to Russians. Once we will come for a favor, in payyment of all debts. And something tell me that Finns will do that favor for us. May be even gladly and willingly.
USSR didn't occupy Finland because Finns had enough brains to make a peace deal with USSR, there was no any occupation of Finland, so no any of that genocide, deportation or other shit you talking about could happen at all.
genocided others,
We have several regions where Ugro-Finn etnicities live, not only Finns. Most live in Russia since ancient times. None was genocided. Moreover, Finns really are from West of Ural mountains. Like Hungarians. We live side-by-side since fucking paleolite.
displaced so many more
Etnicies displaced was those who onely and violently support Germans. Like Crimea Tatars or Chechens. Ironically, Stalin saved them from extermination with that displacement. If they was not displaced, that whole etnicities would have sided with enemy, and eventually would have been killed in battles. Since they was not very important for Germans and due to low numbers could not change anything, their faith would have been much worse. Thanks to displacements, their blodlines was saved from meat grinder they so much want to fall to. Suddenly, descendants of that displaced Chechens now fighting on the Russian side.
There was no Finns among displaced.
annexed others.
Do you understand, that Finland exists at all only thanks to Russians? It was part of Russia since the beginning. It is impossible to annex something that you created. Even if all Finland would have been acquired into USSR after WWII it could not be "annexation" just by definition. Karelia was a part of Russian Empire long before liberation and creation of Finland.
That naval base was rented after Finland exit WWII and made a peace deal with USSR in 1944. This base was necessary at the time, because WWII was going. It was not necessary when war ended, so the base was removed, so there was no any sense in rent deal, so it was discontinued. What is so hard to understand here? Why you need to believe in fucking gulags bullshit and in some non-existent border tensions?
Finland has joined Nato is the point.
That's good. Sweden have to join too as soon as possible. You might be aware that on most decisions NATO need unanimous vote. So more members with tensions, higher probability of stalling NATO. Sweden and Finland are old enemies, Swedes opressed Finns for millenia. They hate each other and more than suspicious to each other. It will be fun. Like Turkey-Greece discord in NATO was not enough. :)
Svestapol isn't rented somebody else said the Crimea was?
Crimea is Russia. Sevastopol is a town in Crimea. Why would Russia rent anything on Russian territory from Russia?
Crimea was never rented to anybody.
On the USSR fall, Crimea declared independence before Ukraine. At the time Ukraine declared exit from USSR Crimea already was an independent state with own authorities, president and so on. Being water/energy/transport/everything tied to ex-Ukrainian SSR, Crimea agreed to federate with Ukraine in exchange to full autonomy and independence from Ukrainian authorities. But very soon, Ukrainian authorities overthrow Crimea government and install occupation administration. Sevastopol, being an important naval base had a special status in USSR and Crimea, and was part of Russian Federative Republic in USSR and so left part of Russian Federation after USSR fall. Something like Kaliningrad/Koenigsberg region in the Baltic. Ukrainian authorities who seized Crimea, with push from Britain (who have absolutely no any fucking business in that region at all, but for whatever reason still trying to squeeze here getting its ass kicked again and again since Crimean war in 1850s) right after the 2014 coup began to plan to seize Sevastopol from Russian Federation. However, on the top of protests against 2014 coup, Crimeans fuck new Ukrainian authorities out, declared independence, as independent state called for help to Russia and voted to join Russia back. The question of Sevastopol was completely resolved along with question of Crimea. With full support of Crimea population and without a single shot.
Porkkala was returned to Finland in 1956. Meh.
That was that rented naval base far from any USSR borders. It was rented in 1944, when Finland turn his back on Germany in WWII. It was never seized by USSR in the first place, and obviously it is absolutely impossible to return what was never taken. It was rented, then, when there was no need for naval base, rent deal was discontinued. Do you return rented apartment to the owner on the rent term end?
Hillarious. Rented land was "returned" and that is somehow USSR land loss toward Finland.
And this rented naval base was not in Karelia. It was in the Baltic Sea, deep in the territory of Finland. For the God sake, take a map and look, it's not that hard if you know exact name.
In fact the region changed flags repeatedly under communism
No. Karelia region was lost shortly after Bolshevik Revolution and was taken back in 1940. After WWII rest of Karelia lands was returned. So, no, Karelia changed hands once, by Jewish Bolshevik fault, for a ~20 years period is not "repeatedly".
If you for whatever reason need to believe in some border changes in USSR, it is completely up to you. I could not force you to find out all that stuff by yourself.
The only thing happened around 1956 is Karelo-Finn Soviet Socialist Republic was renamed into Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. No any borders with Finland was changed, it was just nice gesture of USSR to please Finland and show that USSR do not have any desires or clains on the Finland even in naming.
USSR had a naval base somewhere on the territory of Finland, on Baltic shore since 1944. Base was rented from Finland. Somewhere in mid 1950s, due to positive evolution of USSR-Finland relations, USSR naval base on the territory of Finland lost any sense, was closed and rent deal discontinued.
That's all possible events I'm aware about, that somehow could be perverted in the insane minds of so-called western "historians" as "USSR surrender territory to Finland after WWII".
Not as simple as that. Areas were returned to Finland in 1956.
Borders between Finland and USSR was completely settled in 1948. Nothing changed since then. Not a sinlge square meter.
It's a hidden topic. Conspiracy.
If you are not aware, state border of USSR was not just a line on a map. It was a noticeable structure along the whole border. If border ever changed later, remnants of previous USSR border will be perfectly visible on satellite images for centuries.
And all that western bullshit about Gulag is really boring annoying. Do you realise, that right now, right today USA have more inmates than was in all USSR Gulag structure at most moments?
All that bullshit picked out from asses of the whining Jewish criminals who was throw out and curtailed from power in USSR by Stalin is just yet another narrative of damned tribe.
No, USSR was not a jail-state, it had quite similar number of inmates in comparison to other countries. And far from USA overall by that parameter. You get that false impression of "Gulag USSR" only because Jews crying 24/7 about their ancestors who was not allowed to mutilate Russia at the time and jailed. Do you know that specific slang that criminals use in Russia is mostly Yddish?
Whatever, if that jewish myths constitue the base of knowledge about Russia and around, I'm perfectly fine with that. Just fascinating that someone who supposed to question everything didn't even tried to question all that Gulag myths or any other thing you think you know about Russia/USSR beforehand.
No, it never continued after 1944. In 1944 Finland, for obvious reasons break with axis and make a deal with Britain and USSR about ceasefire. It even have some fights with ex-ally Germany in Lapalandia in the beginning of 1945. In 1948 full peace deal was signed and everything was settled. In 1950s Finland already sell cheese and furniture to USSR, buying in return wheat, fuel, wood and machinery.
There was no any even verbal tensions between USSR and Finland after 1948.
Fall of USSR was a huge disaster for Finland, population wealth fall significantly at the time. Later, it was kind of restored, but now, it fall down again, because of stupid sanctions forced by Western masters on Finland. Finns fear that this NATO shit will make things even worse, however, nobody asked Finns about all that shit. Interesting, that here we still have a noticeable amount of imported Finland goods, despite all that insane crap. Normal people will always find ways to circumvent or don't give a fuck to stupid decisions or laws of authorities.
I think you'll find Karelia was in conflict. Parts gained and lost by the Finnish.
That was before WWII, in 1920 and 1939-1940 wars.
Russia had an internal conflict. It was against a territory between Finland and Russia.
There was no such thing. 1948 peace agreement settled all questions between Finland and USSR. In 50s Finland already was one of rare western capitalist country friendly to USSR. Finland even often supported USSR in league of nations and later UN on different international questions. Trade between countries was pretty intense in nearly all spheres from groceries and furniture up to nuclear power plants (one of Finland NPPs was built by USSR) and heavy machinery.
Formally, there was three known wars between Finland and USSR/Russia.
Finland was created in 1809 by Alexander I as Great princedom of Finland - region of Ugro-Finnish and Saam people on the territory seized by Russian Empire from Sweden during Britain-Russia clashes. Formally it was part of Russian Empire, but it was pretty autonomous, with own government and kind of sovereignity. Then, Alexander II advanced Finnish statehood even further - Finnish language was made official, authorities was set from locals, and even military duty was optional for Finland. Obviously, no wars at that time. Finns set Alexander I and II statues in their towns and was pretty grateful to Russia, living their own Finnish lives as they want.
First war started right after Bolshevik Revolution when everybody around, including even USA rushed to rob falling Russian Empire. Finland get independence in 1917, had an internal civil war where German and Swedes supported one side that win, and around 1920 during Russian civil war, as many did, Finland invaded Russia trying to seize Karelia. This eneded with Bolshevik gave out some land - islands in Barents sea and Vyborg region.
Second war, when Stalin took over Bolshevik Jews in the battle for power in USSR, was in 1939-1940. Vyborg region and some other land was returned to Russia.
Third war, Finland allied with Germany and participated in WWII against USSR. Lost more lands and paid reparations.
That's all.
Funny that Mars Orbiter imagery brought much higher quality image of a large disk-shaped object crashed on Mars than all that terrestrial UFO imagery that come public since the beginning.
We already had that disk on Mars discussed here - https://conspiracies.win/p/140cSE6xRF/nasa-bombshell-crashed-ufo-spott/c/
In the image from another planet we have enough details to have a real discussion about UFO (and even estimate its physical properties - size, mass, speed and so on), but UFO images from Earth are so inconclusive that they does not allow even minimally sane discussion. It is ridiculous.
