Finnish happiness is derived from actively not being under the control of that certain fully crazy empire to the east, and enjoying every minute of it. Every new day of independence from the Russian Empire is one more chance for Finland to say to their neighbours, "Nananana na na, hahahaha ha ha." Some of them even say it in Russian: "Нананана на на, хахахаха ха ха. Нас не ебет."

You may need to examine your opinion of the role of taxes in a functioning country.

You're right about corruption, though.

A billion dollars in fines might make twitter unprofitable. In a regular company, that would coerce the owners to make changes. But Musk doesn't own twitter because he wants to make money off of it, at least not directly. What Musk uses it for is control. A billion dollars a year in fines will be worth it to him, as long as it gives him more control.

The only way to deny him this undue influence is to ban it outright or fine him a lot more.

I guess nobody told the EU how many billions Musk has.

That is some church right there, cous'.

What do you think the money should be spent on?

It would probably blow up the port doing the laundering, which is unlikely to be happening in the EU.

But it would even more likely blow up an Indian or Chinese port.

It doesn't matter. Like I said, I think this is a really bad idea. Mainly because it is collective punishment, and almost all of the thousands of victims would have had nothing to do with their corporations' and their governments' decision to buy that oil.

Throughout the deeply stupid and shameful invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and this is true, the US never detonated a cargo ship sized bomb killing ten thousand people in a busy port city just because they bought sanctioned oil.

Afghanistan and Iraq were terrible mistakes. And many (most?) NATO states had nothing to do with Iraq. Not that it matters right now. I'm talking about Russia's imperialism right now.

I don't give a fuck how Russia is run as long as they stop trying to steal land.

The US and EU might buy a little, but most of it is being bought by China, India, and Africa at a steep discount. As I'm sure you know. Everybody buying Russian oil deserves scorn, even if they are living in the EU or the US.

I should maybe add that I don't think this is actually a good idea. I can just see that it's scientifically possible, and I enjoy constructing scenarios like this.

But to those who are riding Putin's dick, just know that these are the things the West could do, but chooses not to. And the fuck you to all buyers of Russian oil still stands. I don't care how poor they are.

I would not permanently ban somebody for saying the Earth is flat. Instead, I would ban them for a week and send them on a sanity pilgrimage complete with required reading and a final test.

Quick! Some billionaire buy it to ensure its neutrality!

Steal some of the oil. Replace it at correct stoichiometric ratio with ammonium nitrate or some other powerful oxidiser. Attach a detonator and tracking device to the ship. Don't tell the crew. Let the crew go free. When the ship reaches its destination, detonate. Halifax explosion, round two.

Fuck you, whoever would buy Russian oil.

Ah yes that's it. Steal the oil, sell it, and use the proceeds to pay the crew to sabotage Russia and its allies.

Oh, also, steal the oil.

Sounds to me like war crimes are still a pretty good way to determine who the good guys are, then.

What is your "high"?

We are going to high-road the shit out of them.
