Not a chance.

The countries won’t stomach the cost and their populations won’t support it.

That is what we are for apparently.

I think the reference is to Finland membership in NATO.

I think you're wrong. Cruise missiles flying right next to them, time to ante up.

It is a little late to ante up.

They should have done that years ago.

Finland and Sweden will not join NATO. China owns Finland and uses them to get around Chinese electronics issues by selling them through Finland

There isn’t a thing the Russian punk boys can do to stop Finland from joining NATO. The world wouldn’t let them invade another major country. This is there only chance to do this. They know their military is as far behind ours as the Ukraine’s is behind theirs. The Russian trash will have to abide by it. You are quite the cuck for Putin by the way

If I go through your post history, am I going to find you talking about how Q was legit and how affidavits prove fraud in the election?

I do appreciate your consistent reminders to get rid of my Trump banner - Trump is old news, time to freshen things up.

F Russia. We should bring Finland and Sweden into NATO right away. Those Find are tough MFers and Russia wants no part of them. I say bring them onto our side as they'd be handy allies in a fight.

Finland joining is likely to take this conflict to a level that will make Europe feel very uncomfortable

Still, likely the right move

You know china owns Nokia and uses Finnish electronics companies as shells to sell their products where made in china is a liability right? And the Finlands other major export is oil that is also controlled by China.


Putin is running a solid unopposed military action because he has Chinese support. The sanctions don’t matter because the can just funnel through china and Chinese cadet countries. Between German energy dependence and Chinese support Eastern Europe might as well dust off the Warsaw Pact stationary.

Exactly why we bring Finland into NATO. End their relationship with China is icing on the cake.

I’m a student of great power conflict. This dumb count is not.

Finland was neutral for the whole Cold War, never had a problem. They had nerves of steel to balance NATO and the Warsaw Pact. They did it well.

If Finland were going to join NATO, she would have been well advised to keep her cockholster closed about it and announce after Finland was already in.

What she’s done without knowing, is to challenge Russia to a race to see if she can get in before they create a border conflict. That’s all they have to do to disqualify her.

Even so, she’s breaking the balance of trust Finland has maintained since 1945. For what? To “pressure” Putin? That’s AOC level thinking.
