Finland Is On Joining Nato. Bad News For Putin. by plaindealer: 2:43pm On May 10, 2022
Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine has backfired on a number of fronts. But one of the most disastrous consequences of all for the Russian President is the increasingly likely prospect of Finland joining NATO.

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.


Before Putin invaded Ukraine, he made clear his belief that NATO had edged too close to Russia and should be stripped back to its borders of the 1990s, before some countries that either neighbor Russia or were ex-Soviet states joined the military alliance.
Russia currently shares about 755 miles of land border with five NATO members, according to the alliance. Finland's accession would mean that a nation with which Russia shares an 800-mile border would become formally militarily aligned with the United States.
Not only would this be bad news for the Kremlin, but the addition of Finland would be quite a boon for NATO. Despite its relatively small population, Finland is a serious military power that has been unofficially aligned with the West for decades. Its military has for decades used equipment purchased from the United States that is compatible with NATO allies, meaning it could easily join NATO missions should it choose to do so.

Ultimate truth.

Also, the reason why the foolish man couldn't declare victory yesterday, he kept repeating and crying that NATO made me do it like a little baby.

You don't want NATO in your backyard, but you drove your neighbors into the hands of NATO yourself, NATO gained more members, the alliance increased their military budgets, and they are stockpiling more weapons.

At the end of the day, he will return to Russia empty-handed, the West will use his money to rebuild Ukraine, the West will fortify Ukraine's defenses with the most defensive and offensive weapons, and Ukraine already has rocket technology so they will develop their own military capabilities and infrastructures while Putin can not do anything because crippling sanctions will kill his military and economy for decades.

The foolish man thought Ukrrain would surrender after 3 days and hell walk into Kyiv, get rid of the Government, and installed his own puppet.

His rag-tag soldiers did not make it to the capital, Ukrainians beat the hell out of them, and now they are relegated to throwing bombs in the South..


Putin is a very dumb and overrated clown.

The dictator needs to learn some lessons in diplomacy. Not everything is bullying, murdering and war.
