Reports are surfacing of military equipment of the United States and other NATO countries on the Russia-Finland border. U.S. and NATO armored vehicles were spotted on the border, along with Finnish tanks and armored personnel vehicles, according to a translation of a Shraibikus News report. There have been reports of military exercises in Finland, but Russian intelligence reportedly suspects the military buildup will remain until Finland joins NATO. The report also indicates Finnish authorities are anticipating Finland joining NATO within a few months. Russian analysts consider the military presence on the Russia-Finland border to be a threat, particularly as NATO allies are supplying lethal aid to Ukraine amid the Russian invasion. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told RIANovosti that Russia is watching the situation and will consider a potential response. "It is clear that from the point of view of security we will not remain indifferent," Grushko said. "Our military will consider all the necessary measures that may be required to ensure the legitimate interests of defense." While the forces conducting the exercises are likely doing so to defend Finland against an invasion by Russia, Grushko added it represents a dangerous escalation that makes neither Finland nor NATO more safe. "This will not strengthen the security of either Finland or NATO itself," Grushko told RIA Novosti.

Hope you enjoy Zelensky laughing all the way to the bank while you are paying 10$ per gallon for gas
No, we never met them head on within a single country. We drew a line and dared them to cross, which they didn’t. We’re closer to war with Russia now than we ever were during the cold war. If Ukraine is worth a nuclear war which could kill everyone in the U.S. and half the world, it must be pretty vital to our existence.
A very interesting summer lies ahead.
With what? Any attack on a NATO member would simply result in Russia getting it's clock cleaned and they know it.
Oh, really?! How many NATO boots are on the ground in Ukraine?
No, didn't think so!
Regards,
It astonishes me that so many here on this forum have aligned with the democrats, neocons and RINOs in support of the $hitshow being put on in Ukraine.
Ukraine is a leftist created, failed, money-laundering state that kicks back US taxpayer funds to crooks in our own congress.
Those who are 100% behind Ukraine include WEF, WHO, UN and a long list of loathsome, evil people.
WTF has happened!?
Pray unceasingly
Putin’s patience?
If he ever gets the chance, thug Putin will gladly kill a useful idiot like you.
You people who sit around crying about poor Russia, which is in a military alliance with China designed to destroy us, are morons.
Yeah I know it’s all our fault. Please go to Russia where you’d be imprisoned in short order.
They joined NATO before. Nukes coming from their nations would be just as deadly?
There’s a crack many miles wide in your logic. It’s the border of Latvia, Estonia, and the Russian border they are on.
They both joined NATO in 2004.
You forgot: Lithuania (borders the Kaliningrad Oblast) and Poland (ditto).
And as you rightly point out: No NATO states bordering Russia have nukes stationed on them.
Regards,
Putin is just digging his hole deeper.
At this point, especially if the Baltics get hot during this war, there is no positive way out for Russia.
I bet China is salivating at the opportunity to conquer Siberia and Eastern Russia.
More like 140 million.

“Yeah, because NATO is known to aggressively invade neighboring countries all the time.”
Well, we do have 750 military bases across 80 nations.
Russia has captured British POWs and our State Dept has taken credit for killing Russian generals and sinking ships. That enough for start?
Russia is literally laughing at the west right now. They have the gold, resources and are self sufficient meanwhile we have hyperinflation and commodities being intentionally destroyed by our globalist elites
Hey, Ultra MAGA! It's Biden who hates you.
I would suspect it's more like 25 rubles to the ex-petro dollar.
You obviously have no friends or relatives in Moscow with whom you are in daily contact: More like 125 rubles to the US$.
Regards,
Boris Johnson flew to Sweden and Finland today to sign a security treaty even before they apply for NATO. The US has also talked about doing the same. Looks like NATO entrance is a done deal.
And Norway is a long-term NATO member..and borders Russia
If Russia would stop invading other countries this wouldn’t happen.
Pretty simple.
L
agreed. and nobody besides little girls, is afraid of Joe Biden.
Yeah continue those prayers, because if you are 100% honest with yourself and your soul you would know that there isn’t one good guy in this war.
I agree that Ukraine is a nasty leftist NWO stooge state, but Russia is still an evil communist nation with a different mask on.
