Finland allows Ukraine to strike Russia with Finnish weapons. When I first heard this news, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride for my Finnish heritage. Finland, a country that has a long history of dealing with Russia, has now stepped up and shown immense courage by allowing Ukraine to use Finnish weapons to strike at Russian military targets. It’s about time that countries bordering Russia stood up to the bully in the neighborhood, and Finland has set a remarkable example for the rest of the world to follow.

I have been following the recent reports about the US considering letting Ukraine use its weapons to strike Russia, even if it enrages Putin. And honestly, my immediate reaction to this news is a resounding “about time!” It is long overdue for Ukraine to have the ability to defend itself and retaliate against Russian aggression.

As I ruminate on the situation in Ukraine and the calls for President Biden to lift the ban on using US weapons to strike Russia, I can’t help but feel conflicted.

The recent statement by former UK Prime Minister David Cameron regarding Ukraine’s ability to strike inside Russia with British weapons has reignited discussions about the role of Western countries in supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. It is clear that the British government is not holding back when it comes to supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. As Cameron rightly pointed out, Russia has been able to continue its war in Ukraine largely because it can hide behind its borders. However, if Ukraine were to target critical infrastructure inside Russia, it could potentially cripple Russia’s war machine and change the course of the conflict.… Continue reading
As I delve into the intricacies of the 5-year Havana Syndrome investigation, my thoughts are consumed by the unsettling findings that have surfaced, pointing to Russian intelligence and the weaponization of acoustic technology. The notion that Russia may be behind these attacks is not far-fetched, given their history of engaging in hybrid warfare and manipulating various aspects of the US information sphere. Acoustic weapons, it seems, are just the tip of the iceberg in their arsenal of tactics to disrupt and sow discord.
The concept of an acoustic weapon that can induce symptoms akin to a concussion or traumatic brain injury is alarming.… Continue reading
