Episode 840 - Tom of Finlandization (6/10/24)
/ chapo-trap-house
Art/Animation by Emily Halaka @emilyhalaka
Last week, we looked at Trump’s felony convictions and the various weaknesses that brings his campaign. This week, we turn to Biden world. First, Hunter is in court on federal gun charges, leading us all to learn about his bizarre taste crack music. Then, we spend the majority of this ep reading through the absolutely addled interview Joe Biden gave to Time magazine last week. How cooked is he? Can we make sense of any of this? How could we get two candidates this bad leading their presidential tickets? We discuss all inside.

One of my favorite “they’ve crossed the rubicon moments” is when they indicted Trump, our boy crowder said “tomorrow we go to war” and his opening salvo was a Joe Biden “Biden farts” video set to the tune of baby shark.

This rubicon thing comes up so much incorrectly used. I feel the need for a tldr Roman legions were forbidden from coming closer to Rome than the rubicon river to prevent them walking in and starting a coup. Only praetorians are allowed in Rome. So when Caesar marched his legions straight for Rome everyone got nervous. But not until the moment he crossed the rubicon was it irreversible his coup was unstoppable and under way. That’s why the crossing mattered. It implies taking a final step past the point of no return. He’s really done it now no take backs!

no, wider context is finlandization of Europe. Finland, Sweden are countries that were reluctant to join NATO for decades are now re evaluating their security concerns joining the alliance and creating united front against RUSSIA AND china.

@akumakorgar 24 күн бұрын

@@utkarsh2746 I don't really understand your point. A country changing their foreign policy on their own initiative in response to the actions of another country is not "Finlandization" which refers specifically to the situation in which FInland signed a friendship treaty with the Soviets which basically kept them permanently out of the Cold War. As someone who thought the Soviets would have been in the right to annex Finland in the 1940s, I'm just saying that's what Finlandization means without any kind of claim beyond that.

@utkarsh2746 23 күн бұрын

@@akumakorgar The term Finlandization was based on a specific event in time but the phenomena itself was a smaller country being forced to subordinate its foreign policy to outside interests, being caught in the cross fire between nato and Soviet Union. That is happening to Ukraine right now. Getting pedantic about the origins of the term does not change that.

If you look it up, you can find more interviews and comments from Biden where he uses this "Putin wanted a Finlandization of NATO but instead he got a NATO-ization of Finland" line. I think he feels that it's a clever punny way of saying that Putin wanted NATO weakened but instead NATO expanded - but it definitely sounds obscure and even nonsensical if you're not steeped enough in cold war history to know that Finlandization is an actual word that kind of does work in this context.

I was thinking that conceivably he was thinking about Russia wanting NATO to become neutral like Finland used to be, and instead the US having turned Finland into another hostile NATO country. Apparently they've been massively propagandised through the capture of their media, because they're the only people who speak Finnish, so they don't have immediate access to other Finnish media or independent media from other countries to contradict the American narrative, and it's only multilingual people who pay attention to alternative media in English or whatever who can put the propaganda into perspective.

Man, I always have to skip when the guys try to talk Ukraine because they don't really seem to actually know what they're talking about. Even Felix with the airplane stuff. As an example, that average age thing is not conscripts, it's volunteers. Older men are volunteering so that younger men aren't being drafted at higher rates, the Ukrainian army is still majority volunteers, a stark contrast from Russia, who is at this point majority conscripts. F16s would be a substantial upgrade to Ukrainian air power since they're not only far superior to the MIG-29s Ukraine has, but they also are integrated into all the weapons NATO is sending them. Currently, Ukraine is operating with a sorta jury-rigged system of using MIG-29s with Western weapon systems. Also, Ukraine is currently right now about to enter peace talks with Russia, so I don't know what they're talking about how it's too late for peace talks.
