Reports are surfacing of military equipment of the United States and other NATO countries on the Russia-Finland border. U.S. and NATO armored vehicles were spotted on the border, along with Finnish tanks and armored personnel vehicles, according to a translation of a Shraibikus News report. There have been reports of military exercises in Finland, but Russian intelligence reportedly suspects the military buildup will remain until Finland joins NATO. The report also indicates Finnish authorities are anticipating Finland joining NATO within a few months. Russian analysts consider the military presence on the Russia-Finland border to be a threat, particularly as NATO allies are supplying lethal aid to Ukraine amid the Russian invasion. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told RIANovosti that Russia is watching the situation and will consider a potential response. "It is clear that from the point of view of security we will not remain indifferent," Grushko said. "Our military will consider all the necessary measures that may be required to ensure the legitimate interests of defense." While the forces conducting the exercises are likely doing so to defend Finland against an invasion by Russia, Grushko added it represents a dangerous escalation that makes neither Finland nor NATO more safe. "This will not strengthen the security of either Finland or NATO itself," Grushko told RIA Novosti.

Little Eloi have the biggest mouths...
The Eloi are in HR, Government Relations, and the Board of Directors. Usually. Everyone else is just pretending, at best.
I had a wonderful old friend who mentored me in that time and he took me along to the Commonwealth Club so many times I lost count!
The CC back then wasn’t the hard left anti-American bastion of today and thus the memories are all good ones.

“Back around 1983/1984 I attended a conference at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco.”
Interesting.
Back in 1983 I met Pozner at the Commonwealth Club in Richmond,VA.
George H.W. Bush, Nichols (CEO Nations Bank), Wilder (governor?) were in attendance. Dinner and cocktails. Meet and greet. You know the drill.
Glasnos and perestroika were buzz words back then.

Interesting is when I search for your alleged headline here this is what I get:
No results found for “State Department helping Ukraine kill Russian generals”.
Suggestions:
Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.
Try fewer keywords.
Did you at least tip the men's room attendant?
Do better, Neocon
I haven’t been there in almost two decades, so I didn’t see any hard left types at the time.
It sounds like you had fun, I know I did.
It was something like an in-person Tedtalk, but with substantial speakers.
“Glasnos and perestroika were buzz words back then.”
For a time there was hope for a peaceful future. Damned shame Putin is such a hard core cold warrior who can’t let go of the past.
Biggest bunch of criminals. Laura Bush even killed her ex-boyfriend; lone crossroads and she rammed him, but she claims it was totally a coincidence they were both out there at the same time.
“Do better, Neocon”
I’m not the one who can’t back up his false claims. That would be you.
1. You can’t back up your claim that “our State Dept has taken credit for killing Russian generals and sinking ships.”
2. You posted a headline purportedly from the New York Times that is wholly unknown to the New York Times, DuckDuckGo, or Google.
What’s the problem, Jon? The real news isn’t making you happy so you have to gin up some BS to make your argument for you? That’s pretty lame, don’t you think?
Why on earth would anyone want to waste time trying to negotiate when there is no change in Putin’s stated objectives. He wants the eastern Ukraine resource areas which have gas, oil, and other resources. He does not want Ukraine to keep them or sell them to Europe in competition with Russian gas and oil. NATO membership is possibly negotiable, but not Ukraines resources.
“Why on earth would anyone want to waste time trying to negotiate when there is no change in Putin’s stated objectives.”
Well said. It’s like trying to negotiate with a bank robber who says, “Give me the money or I’ll shoot you!”
You don’t negotiate with such people.
You kill them.
Tell us all about your "wonderful old friend" who "mentored" you in the Commonwealth Club.
Chop, chop piggy.
“Are you insane?”
Yes, I suppose it’s insanity to expect you to back up your lies. They’re lies so of course you can’t back them up.
Bottom line is you’ve been outed as a liar.
“...the Russian ruble is raising and backed by gold.”
And the Russian people are actual dumb enough to believe liar Putin that there is really gold backing their rubles??? I mean, where do they think Putin got his $200 billion wealth???
He wants the eastern Ukraine resource areas which have gas, oil

Again, there are no oil and gas reserved that are economical to frack in Eastern Ukraine. And what there is, is of poor quality and not much of that, too boot.
