Finland to announce intention to Join NATO this week?

[Cerveza Fria]

Clearly this must be some type of gimmick?

The Nordic nation is expected to announce its interest in NATO membership as soon as this week after its Foreign Affairs Committee drafts a response to the government's security report -- which includes the option of joining the alliance. After that, the Finnish parliament will hold an extraordinary debate on whether to approve the security report recommendations.

At this point it is very likely NATO would invite the country to talk about accession to the alliance.

It is broadly believed this would happen very quickly, as Finland already meets most of the criteria and it's highly unlikely any NATO members would object.

Multiple recent opinion polls have shown that at least 60% of Finns are now in favor of NATO membership, a huge jump from a previous high of around 30% in past years.

If this plays out as expected, this country of under 6 million people will have redrawn the European security map in a way that was previously inconceivable and may have tremendous consequences for Russia.

Yeah, very interesting.

Not sure if gimmick is still lurking here (he seemed to have stopped posting lately), but if he is, I'm interested in hearing his thoughts from a Finn point of view.

I've noticed Gimmick's absence too and would like to hear from him about the issue

Done deal according to what I just saw baring NATO itself blocking the move. Finland's President and PM issued a joint statement that due to Russian aggression they felt they have no choice anymore. Finland was a buffer state and the term Finlandization was actually a term during the Cold War used to describe the dejure fact that Finland essentially was in an unenviable position to be essentially a quasi Soviet Satellite as it had no way to defend itself against any overt aggression by USSR and Warsaw Pact during that time. Things have changed immensely since the end of the Cold War. I actually have a friend who is from Finland and he said they feel this is their chance to finally stick it to Russia for the essential bullying they've endured for 100 yrs.

You should advise your friend that nobody suffered more in the last 100 years than the Russian people and today Russia is a mostly Orthodox Christian country.
Your friend must know to step back and recognize he may be misinformed anytime there are forces trying to turn European Christian Countries against each other. If he really wants to stick it to the forces behind Communism then embrace peace.
He should know Russia was provoked into attacking Ukraine and the USSR dissolved over 30 years ago.

That's all

Whatever chemical fumes are leaking into your area you really should get them dealt with.. Putin is old school KGB.. The USSR as a whole may not current exist but that asshole Putin wants to reconstitute it under a greater Russia analogy. Putin wasnt forced to do a fucking thing other then he decided to be a complete asshole attacking a former Soviet Republic state which I might remind you has existed long before Russia ever did as an entity in Europe (Kyiv predates Moscow by hundreds of years as a city). Putin is a murderous thug who acts out when he doesnt get his way (See Navalny). Ukraine was no damn threat to Russia in anyway but theyve sure proven the Russian military to be a farce and a joke and destroying and making laughable the so called mighty Russian Army (and we thought the Afghanistan fiasco was bad enough). Putin is a murderous dictatorial thug end of story. Its already leaked out he wants Moldova next as part of his reunification plans. He knows he cant touch the Baltics without bringing down the hellfire of NATO on his head and lets be realistic if Biden wasnt such an impotent wonder this never wouldve happened with Ukraine.. Ukraine is hardly a totally innocent country and theres known corruption but Russia is right up there with China just about maybe not officially communist but a shit ton of old school Commie cucks still are in charge and raping the country of its wealth by Putin and his fellow Plutocrats and Oligarchs.

Finland's fucking retarded, who's in charge of Finland and who runs their media are the questions that immediately come to mind. Talk about misinformed, yea Finland sign up for NATO so corrupt foreign leaders will have dictatorial powers over which wars you and your people fight and fund..

Is Finland the one with the large sovereign wealth fund? Well get out that blank check and send your best fighters and join the big Israel project, I mean we have to stop that maniac Putin.

This the worse news I've read in a month, total shit.

If you ever want a good read, check the googles for stuff about Simo Hayha. The Finns have been kicking Russian ass for a looooong time.
