A human tool is still a human, instead of an object. The only principle in this whole bread and circus is that no harm is caused to other beings who are not responsible.

So we're left to observe if we're under a ruling class which fucks that up

I was replying to you calling them bystanders.

Yes I know

Just seemed like a strange point consider I don't think their status as humans was in doubt. Just whether we should stop Russian action or not.

It's a direction the current cabinet might be inching towards. Manufactured consent

On a larger level this won't stop whatever the next step of escalation will be and I'm not guaranteed Finland has enough planned with the EU to figure this shit out fast.

Not sure where it is escalating after the border is closed.

We'll see some sort of "bullying" as Niinistö phrased

And we'll deal with that bullying too when we come to it. Giving into it isn't a great option.

Maybe we need someone else dealing with that in the future.

I'd hope everyone else would be as determined to shut the bullying down. It's not like there's many other ways to deal with Russia.

Maybe we just saw the most Russia-minded response we have available

Nothing more Russia-minded than wanting to shut down Russia's attempts at bullying us.
