Russia invaded Ukraine supposedly over not wanting NATO on their border but then did utterly nothing when Finland joined NATO. Proving that NATO membership had little to do with why Russia invaded Ukraine.

Up next: Sweden to join NATO followed by Austria and Switzerland.

I guess it saddens you that Russia hasn’t attacked Finland yet. You and William Kristol should go have a drink and console one another.

A peaceful border for almost 80 years. Good job globalist nato neocons .

Tell your Putin to shut down the Holy Lake mosque.

This reminds me of how criminal Ponzi schemes end; get the suckers in before the entire mess all collapses.

“This reminds me of how criminal Ponzi schemes end; get the suckers in before the entire mess all collapses.”

Glad to see you coming to grips on the fall of your beloved Soviet Union.

[JonPreston]

Well, NATO is the Ponzi scheme seeking marks, so you read things wrong.

[Bulwyf]

It hasn’t even happened yet? Are you ill?

[MeganC]

“A peaceful border for almost 80 years.”

And now NATO will guarantee and prolong that peace. Guess Russia will just have to invade Kazakhstan next.

[HollyB]

Seriously? This isn’t a game of ‘Chicken’. There’s no doubt the Biden admin put together this provocative move because Ukraine isn’t fairing well.

Is there a history of ‘Russians’ in these other countries being abused? I don’t believe so.

[marcusmaximus]

Putin’s Russia is the dead cat bounce of the Soviet Union.

[JonPreston]

Good for Putin. Absolutely nothing frightens American Neocons like Muslims.

[Republican in occupied CA]

Russia regards itself as being ‘abused when anyone, anywhere, does anything to slow down or resist their expansionism.

[MeganC]

What a flaccid and impotent comeback. But I’ll be patient, I’m sure Peskov will send you and and your friends a whole new set of regurgitated talking points for this.

[Chad_the_Impaler]

It said Finland's move marks "a fundamental change in the situation in Northern Europe, which had previously been one of the most stable regions in the world.”

This is ridiculous. Russia destabilized the world by invading Ukraine. Finland is merely reacting.

[HollyB]

Perhaps they are watching the same videos I’ve seen.

This is not our business.

[Jeff Chandler]

Sweden to join NATO followed by Austria and Switzerland.

Austria? Is that going to involve kangaroos?

Yep, as long as Finland acceded to Russian demands regarding foreign policy.

Russia/USSR invaded Finland two times in the 40s attempting to get back the Grand Duchy that Russia lost at the end of WWI. Both times they annexed Finnish territory.

After Putin invaded Ukraine twice in the 21st century Finland decided it really didn’t want to rejoin the old Russian Empire. An understandable reaction from the Finnish point of view.
