It's big enough. You can work in Sweden, Norway, Britain or Ireland for a half a year and then go live home doing fuck all for a year. Alternatively, live and work in said countries and support a family here while sending home not even a half of your income.

>>53956131

Oh, I actually remembered that a bit wrong. The jumping was to push Turku under the sea, while hammering nails was to separate it.

> Since 1997, students at Tampere have made annual excursions to Turku to jump on the market square, doing their part to undo the post-glacial rebound and push the city back under the sea. Students from Tampere also go to the border of Turku and hammer wooden nails to the ground, in order to make the city drift off the mainland someday.

Also, the most important part would be to have a strong fleet that can block Russian ports from every side. Which isn't possible, since Poland and Balts don't have enough.

What needs to be added is that in case of war like that. America would join in. But not on our side, but the opposite. They need Russia against China. Balts + Poland would be a sufficient payment.

not entirely so but it has always been a factor, especially in pre-industrial times (and natural resources were *one* of the reasons why the netherlands and the uk were the first to reach industrialization).

Because balts can not do anything, but butthurt. The don't want to evolve. They just want to blame Russia and other cool countries in their faults. Why develop country? Let's blame Russia. What? Something wrong with Balts? Russia is behind this. This is why Baltic states are SO shithole. And also nobody knows that Balts exist outside of 4chan.

you, i van, are very shortsighted

We are under looked region, only way to attract attention to ourselves is to use you, Russia. We say something stupid about you, you say something stupid about us, media explodes and we have attention. Any attention is crucial for development of countries tourism and attracting foreign investors.
Keep falling victim for our ruse and stay butthurt about our supposed butthurtness.
