  1. Hmmmm, so lets get the following countries to join: Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tibet, Mongolia, Azerbaijan and throw in Japan and South Korea. Fuck you Putin

  2. Finland is doing just fine. Of course they’re gonna respond to pressure, but if they felt no need to join during the Cold War, I doubt they’re gonna do it now.

  3. Original article (in English):

    > Finland has no plans at present to join NATO, its foreign minister Pekka Haavisto said on Friday, amid heightened security tensions between Finland’s giant neighbour Russia and Ukraine.

    > “Finland does not discuss with NATO joining it, nor does Finland have such a project upcoming … Finland’s security policy remains unchanged,” Haavisto told reporters at a teleconference following a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in France.

    > On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken hinted in an interview with MSNBC that Finland wanted to join NATO.

  4. After the invasion of Brexit bot, we have the invasion of Russian bot. It’s so fun to watch

  5. Questions: could Finland alone stop an invasion? Does Finland think NATO will intervene regardless?,

  6. Finland has suffered economically a lot because of Russian sanctions and these NATO talks risk losing the rest of Russian trade. This could suddenly cost billions after billions to Finnish economy. Therefore the official line is silence.

    It’s just like EU accepts China’s crimes because of dough.

  7. Good for Finland, they’re neutral and if I was from Finland, I would be very happy not being involved in potential conflict.
