Yes, my point is that Finland should announce the donation of generally useful equipment like this as a crucial form of power.
Finland is a very powerful nation militarily, Finland kicked both russia and Germany’s ass in WW2 and there is no indication Finland has become less powerful or skilled at cold weather warfare.
I am getting really tired of people complaining russia always wins the propaganda war with a firehose of misinformation when y’all can’t even agree it is safe to announce we are winning decisively with confidence.
No, being shadowy about this makes the only way for these weapon donations to be effective is if every single one of them is used in combat to make a physical difference, which massively diminishes the impact of the donation of those vehicles and condemns many more Ukrainian and russians to die needlessly. The impact of armor in war at a general level is the impact of potentials, of what-ifs, declaring a huge amount of donated armor places a huge question mark on the battlefield in a way that only hurts the enemy and their ability to confidently plan and maintain morale because they don’t know where that difference is going to appear and smash them to pieces but now they have to account for it everywhere.
No, I will not tolerate people complaining any more about all of the disinformation russia puts out and how that convinces people russia is winning or is more powerful than they are when this kind of mousey refusal to talk straight about the war is so common. Either consign yourself to never being able to convince the general international neutral community you are winning the war, and thus reach advantageous political bargins based on that political perception… or stop telling people to be shy about declaring our wins as a threat and a promise that russia does not necessarily have to experience directly to be impacted and deterred by.
How do you expect to actually become militarily independent of US military power if you aren’t willing to publicly declare your power? It does not matter politically if you materially possess military power if you do not make it politically visible to the general population.
