I am sure you can come up with some creative insults, for that couch-fucker as well.

the Poles and Finns might bilaterally decide this is full scale war, that the war is not limited to Ukraine.

If they attack us, Baltics, or Poland, it is an escalation to a full scale war. No way any of us border countries would not immediately get NATO involved, as that is the reason for any of us to have joined it. Which then would get all of us border countries involved, at least (and involving us finns, would then involve the other Nordics as well), even if NATO would suddenly crumble immediately. Alone we would all be just easier targets, one by one, and none, who knows what it means to be attacked by Russia, wants that.

I completely agree. It is disgusting: not the picture itself, but what is the story behind leading to it. I am glad these attrocities have been documented, even though I also feel so sad for the people, that had to become examples for it. I can only hope at least some consented to be photographed, or that adds just an another layer of disgustingness for the whole affair.

Oh thank you, for saying that. I sometimes want to reply on comments here, to be an another voice against all the misogyny and transfobia, but as an masculine presenting enby I feel like I am invading even doing just that. I have lived half of my life as a woman, and the other half as a man, so I am totally trans, but also just an enby, that manages to fit in a gender role enough to pass - so permanently in a weird position, where I do not belong anywhere, yet have experienced all sides. But I just hate how much misogyny lemmy is filled with! Makes me mad!

OP I’m so sorry you had to become part of these hateful prick being asshats, it definitely was not your fault in any way. They are just terrible people.
