re: Finland Set For NATO Entry As Soon As Summer - Russia Warns "Destruction Of Their Country"

The war-mongering narrative that Finland needs NATO because Putin will attack Finland is complete rubbish only lemmings believe

I personally draw the line at the English Channel.

If Putin takes England, then he gets the Falklands. Now he is in our hemisphere, from there an amphibious invasion of Argentina will occur. The Russian armies will then absolutely crush South America in a brief, 4,000 mile campaign. The Russians will then rebrand as "migrant convoys" in Panama and will travel another brief 5,000 miles to Tijuana.

You don't want the Russians in Tijuana. Putin must be stopped in Ukraine.

In a conventional fight, Finland would easily raze Russia.

If Russia nuked Finland, would we nuke Russia if we knew it meant we would also be nuked by Russia? Interesting hypothetical.

I think they are banking on the idea that if they hit Finland with 1 nuke no one in the West would retaliate by nuking Russia because then Russia would fire nukes at that nation, on and on. Are they right? I don't know but I could see it.

---

Launching 1 nuke and waiting for a response would essentially give the West the First Strike Capability position as well as the perfect legitimate reason to use it. You cannot under any circumstances leave the ball in your enemy's court in nuclear warfare. They would be gambling the annihilation of their people for nothing.

In October 1939, the Soviet Union attempted to negotiate with Finland to cede Finnish territory on the Karelian Isthmus and the islands of the Gulf of Finland, and to establish a Soviet military base near the Finnish capital of Helsinki.[33] The Finnish government refused, and the Red Army invaded Finland on 30 November 1939.[34] The USSR was expelled from the League of Nations and was condemned by the international community for the illegal attack.[35] Foreign support for Finland was promised, but very little actual help materialised, except from Sweden.[36] The Moscow Peace Treaty concluded the 105-day Winter War on 13 March 1940 and started the Interim Peace.[37] By the terms of the treaty, Finland ceded 8% of its national territory and 13% of its economic capacity to the Soviet Union.[38] Some 420,000 evacuees were resettled from the ceded territories.[39] Finland avoided total conquest of the country by the Soviet Union and retained its sovereignty.

That was the first war between Finland and the USSR during WW2. In the second war, Finland, allied with NAZIS Germany, invaded to try to reclaim this territory (That is called irredentism, BTW) and were driven back. It ended with Finland gaining back some, but not most, of its territory and paying war reparations to the USSR. Plus they had to make the humiliating public admission that they had been allies of the NAZIS.

Why are the globalist pushing Russia into war? These people are evil.

NATO and the globalists

Finland wanting to exercise its sovereign prerogatives to enter into defense agreements is somehow the fault of NATO or the globalists?

Or must NATO reject all new members now because Russia said so?

quote:

---

This is precisely why I don’t think they will actually join NATO. Not only did they just commit to another 2 billion in military defense spending, the response from NATO nations should Finland be attacked would be very different than Ukraine. Russia knows this and so does Finland.

---

Yep. NATO membership would be a mere formality anyways as Finland is also already signed on to the EU defense community, and is one of NATO's non-member major partners. So is Sweden. Many NATO countries are already obliged to go to Finland's aid, even outside of the NATO framework.

quote:

---

And we still pay the most for NATO even though none of them would help us if our homeland was attacked.

---

The hilarious part about this nonsensical statement is that the only time Article V has been invoked was when the US homeland was attacked. And every single NATO member came running.

There is a point to be made about unequal contributions, and Trump got the balling rolling on getting the Western European countries to buy back in (UK, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, etc.) This war will dramatically increase the European nations' defense budgets and thus their share of the NATO budget. However, even if every single member met their 2% obligation, we will always pay more in pure dollars simply because our GDP/economy/defense budget and needs are larger.

quote:

No. Finland will be completely fine. Making them a NATO member is to provoke Russia. Otherwise, Finland is completely safe

You think Russia is MORE likely to invade a NATO country?

Joking aside, you do realize that several countries in Europe have possessions in the Caribbean and North Atlantic, right? Putin would not have to invade the UK in that sense.
