"Masked Gang" is a weird euphemism for a group of FSB assets.

Only makes sense since the "diplomatic" targets Finland is dealing with are agents.

It's more polite than "Russian thugs." I get a feeling this would not have happened unless Russia was OK with the consequences.

They probably just get some loosers form nearby bar to do this.

Hammers are a Wagner signature.

Yes, there’s an infamous video of Wagner beating a bound man to death with a sledgehammer. The day after the European Commission voted to add Russia to a list of states who backed terrorism, Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin sent the EC a sledgehammer. Hmmm, wonder what that meant? Dinner, perhaps?

Wouldn't hammers and sickles be more appropriate to throw instead?

What a great way to convince Finland that Russia is not a threat and the protection of NATO is unnecessary

Did Russia forget what happened last time they fucked with the Finns?

They ended up eating their own. Literally.

If you watch the actual video it seems like 15 year old boys were sent who could barely even hold the hammers let alone get them over the fence. Guess all the men are busy with the “how to be professional soldiers in 3 months” class.

3 months? Shit, that’s officer level these days. Regular meat grinder grunts are lucky to get a gun of their own and a “good luck” as they shove them out the back of a truck.

3 months because that will probably be when the Spring “Offensive” starts

They shouldn't have wasted good hammers. Now they have no weapons when storming UA bunkers ...

there are plenty of full grown men who are related to political business and criminal figures and will never be going anywhere near the war, especially in Moscow.

Has anyone ever figured out why wearing a very lightweight mask to stop a global virus just can't be done because it restricts breathing while grabbing a gallon of milk, but wearing masks to storm a Capitol or to attack an Embassy is no problem?

I don’t get it. Free sledge hammers are a good thing.

Sledgehammers are a reference to the Wagner group filming themselves crushing a former members skull with one after they kidnapped him from Ukraine.

A representative of Wagner presented one covered in blood to a member European Parliament inside a violin case.

lawn_question_guy t1_j1183ns wrote

Right? And throwing a sledge hammer is pretty awkward. Next time maybe they should just use rocks.

A sledge hammer worked well for Santa. Ho ho ho. (Just saw the movie Violent Night). Would recommend.

Auction the hammers online, and give the money directly to Ukrane.

tcmart14 t1_j127cz1 wrote

Nah, they should donate them to the drafted Russians very publicly with a statement like, “because Russia won’t give their new recruits arms before going to the grinder.”

This can’t be true. Why would they have an embassy for a fictional place?
