President Biden held a secure phone call Friday morning with the president of Finland and the prime minister of Sweden, one day after Finnish officials indicated they were looking to quickly apply for NATO membership following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Did they take his calls? So many world leaders decline his solicitations. Poor Brandon. Can’t get no respect.

Love to hear that call.

When Senile Joe calls a non-English-speaker, a skilled translator who is wise to the intended, scripted talking points can stick to the talking points no matter what Joe mumbles and mangles.

But Finns and Swedes speak English better than Joe Biden can, so I’d love to hear a recording of the call.

Well, if THAT doesn’t dissuade them from NATO membership, nothing will.

I don’t think the Krauts are going to engage in another “Drang nach Osten’’ any time soon dude.

So I wouldn’t lose any sleep over your Russian buddies.

Finland’s surrender to USSR in WW2 [as Finland was an Axis Ally] had a stipulation of neutrality for perpetuity. Nazi’s used Finland to stage the siege of Stalingrad, which killed 1 million civilians. Do you think the russkies forgot that?

Russia re-ratified that treaty at Finland’s request after USSR dissolved.

So Finland is apparently ready to renounce the treaty granting it sovereignty following its defeat in WW2, which is the legal basis for its continued existence.

Treaties matter. History matters. American ignorance of that history will lead us into a devastating conflict.

Because the bear keeps killing people and eating countries.
