This war is just revealing how big Russia is.

So imagine Finland, a European country cannot generate its own electricity which means they are on Niger Republic and Benin third world level.

Nigeria is better than a lot of countries but our inferiority complex won't let us see it.

Asia has a bigger market and population that the West want to dominate.

Russia just happen to be the Asia gatekeeper and West and NATO want to get it out of their way at all cost

The West has been successfully circumventing Russia, traveling to and from Asia since the start of the war. Russia gatekeeps nothing.

Funny how time flies.

In February, Russia was threatening military action if Finland or Sweden joined NATO.

Now in May, with Ukraine exposing Russia as a paper tiger and tying up most of Russia’s standing army, Russia wouldn’t dare take on Finland that are even more fearsome when it comes to training and equipment than Ukraine. Or even Sweden. Both countries use modern NATO equipment, have powerful, long range artillery and a well trained populace that’s willing to fight.


Which is why you see Russia talking about a defensive response.

What kind of headline is this?
Russia said it will suspended electricity, gas and oil supplies to Finland due to non-payment of Finland in Rubles since May 6th, according to Finnish PM.

Finnish PM said that Finland will not pay in Ruble even as many EU countries have already open up Ruble account.
Exactly. They won't tell you the truth.

Russia really thinks it can fight a war on two fronts, while enduring further sanctions?

Russia suspends electricity supplies to Finland, a supplier said on Friday as tensions rise over Helsinki's NATO bid amid Moscow's military campaign in Ukraine.

'We are forced to suspend the electricity import starting from May 14,' said RAO Nordic, a subsidiary of Russian state energy holding Inter RAO.

'RAO Nordic is not able to make payments for the imported electricity from Russia.'

The firm is not directly faced with Western sanctions over the invasion into Ukraine, Montel News reports. However the outlet adds Inter Rao Lietuva - its 51% owned Lithuanian subsidiary - is.

MailOnline has reached out to RAO Nordic for more information.

It comes as Russia yesterday accused Finland of 'pushing above its weight' as the country signalled its intention to join NATO.

Putin's EU ambassador vowed to bolster defences on the Russia and Finland's shared 800-mile-long border if it decided to join the alliance.

Vladimir Chizhov said if Finland joined it would lead to 'certain military-technical measures, like improving or raising the degree of defence preparations along the Finnish border'.



A move would 'certainly necessitate rethinking of Russian defence posture' but not 'necessarily [involve] troops and tanks, but certain preparations like radars, perhaps', he told Sky News.

Yesterday a former British ambassador to Russia has said there may be 'much more Russian nuclear deployment in the Baltic' areas in response to Finland potentially becoming a NATO member in light of the war in Ukraine.

Sir Tony Brenton told BBC's Newsnight programme the Kremlin may think 'it expands their view of NATO as a threat to them'.

He said: 'They will be very conscious especially as this war winds its way to a conclusion that their conventional forces have not produced the results they hoped for.

'They will be increasingly inclined therefore to use their nuclear strength as a demonstration they need to be taken seriously.

'I think we need to resign ourselves to the likelihood of much more Russian nuclear deployment in the Baltic area as a response to Finland's accession to NATO, when it comes, and Sweden's very likely one as well.'

Finland actually generates its own electricity but they only fall short by 10%.

That 10% is what they import from Russia.

So What Russia only did was stop the supply of that 10%.

Finland on the other hand already had a contingency plan which generates 14% electricity internally to cover up for the 10% loss.

As a back up they have also signed an agreement from Sweden for supply

Exactly my thoughts..
Though I'm suspecting that the Yankees are deliberately trying to kickstart a second cold war in the face of China and Russias rise. Seems that's the only way they can stay relevant to geopolitical realities going into the next century..

The US is cutting the production of gasoline engine vehicles in half by 2030. Counting mine, there are 5 electric cars on my street alone. Other countries are even more advanced in the transition to clean energy than the US. It’ll be here sooner than you think.

Russia is simply wasting their own time.

Finland refused to pay in Rubles hence their decision to cut them off the 10% they supply.

However Finland already had alternative plans and as at 3 weeks ago already began reducing their electricity transmission from Russia because they were ramping up their internal electricity generation as well as gotten an agreement signed with Sweden for supply.

Check the date of the attached. Finland is fine.
