Sorry, we've got our own Banana Republic to deal with right now. Can we push WWIII back to next year?

The Russian military is a joke and full of incompetent leaders! Also, we need Finland in NATO because Russia is the most lethal military in world history and will be in Helsinki in no time!

If so every conservative should boycott the military and let our proRegressive soldiers go fight to preserve the powers and wealth of their DC beaurocrats

Congrats to Vladimir Putin, NATOs Recruiter of the Year!

Seriously, we couldn't have done it without you, Vlad.

White men have no business fighting for a country that places the blame for every social illness at their doorstep. Let minorities and the Reddit brigade fight these imperialist wars.

Is this why people are claiming Finland wants to join NATO now?

It doesn't matter. Russia and Finland weren't going to invade each other either way.

Decatur- the war in Ukraine has nothing to do with NATO expansion

Also Decatur- I'm super happy we're expanding NATO to Russia's border!


fricking clown show

What is wrong with Finland wanting to, and now joining NATO?

Finland, the entity whose opinion actually matters, believes that they did.

I don't get the bitching. Finland, and eventually Sweden, will instantly become among the most self-reliant and most capable members of the alliance. There are no downsides to including them.

There are 2 major themes.

1. We must submit to whatever Russia wants, no matter how destabilizing it is, because they have nukes and may use them if we resist at all.

2. International agreements made by nations are "globalism" and bad, possibly controlled by the WEF, even those who oppose interests like the WEF and "globalism" (see: BRICS).

Sweden and Finland have been very independent over the year and not really a part of the West. Both see Russia as a big threat; however, thus their desire to get into NATO.

People here act as if this is all US orchestrated when it’s all a reaction to modern day Russian aggression. European nations feel threatened and they are banning together with us for mutual protection, and they also see Ukraine standing up to the Bear and wearing them down which helps their defenses too.
