This is proper Mission Impossible shit. Is the burning of Olenya visible from the Finnish border? Any Lappish people here?
The attack on Russian airbases at Olenya, and Belaya, Dyagilevo and Ivanovo, and reportedly also the nuclear submarine base at Severomorsk, was done by small multirotor drones launched from trucks(!!!!) #OSINT

"Tens of thousands of kilos of whale meat were imported from Norway to Finland for a Lappish dog sledding company

The right whale is a species under the international CITES convention and in addition, Finnish law prohibits the import of whale meat to Finland."
"Suomeen tuotiin Nor­jas­ta va­laan­li­haa kym­me­niä tu­han­sia kiloja lap­pi­lai­sel­le koi­ra­val­jak­koy­ri­tyk­selle

Lahtivalas kuuluu kansainvälisen CITES-yleissopimuksen alaisiin lajeihin ja lisäksi Suomen laki kieltää valaanlihan tuonnin Suomeen."

There’s suddenly a debate in Finland over calling people “Lappish” - looks like “lappalainen” might be derogatory while “lappilainen” is fine. Is this a real thing?? I missed the turn. Is it a slur

"About 36,000 kilos of whale meat was imported as food for sled dogs. This type of dog food is not sold on the market, but was produced in Norway based on an order from a Finnish importer.

According to the head of the investigation, Tuomo Kunnari, the meat was ordered by a Lappish dog sled company"

His 1972 movie Sensuela is even wilder, with the addition of Nazis, Technicolor, a surprising amount of reindeer castration (faked, in the most memorable way possible), and a sad story of a sweet Lapp girl who meets a charming Luftwaffe pilot & goes wildly astray.

It's a bit of a thing, I think. When I spent time living with a Finnish family they gave me a Lappish hunting knife as a leaving present. Only a medium sized one though! 🔪 😀
