Finland Cleared To Join NATO Following Turkish Vote by raskymonojendor(op):
And just like that, Russia is surround by more NATO countries.

Finland will become the 31st member of Nato after Turkey's parliament voted to approve its application.

Turkey had delayed Finland's bid to join the West's defensive alliance for months - complaining the Nordic nation was supporting "terrorists".

Sweden, which applied to join Nato at the same time last year, is still being blocked by Ankara over similar complaints.

Any Nato expansion needs the support of all its members.

Finland will now be formally admitted into Nato at its next summit, taking place in July in Lithuania.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave his approval to Finland's bid earlier in March, praising the country's "authentic and concrete steps" on Turkish security.

But his ongoing hostility to Sweden was clear - as he again accused the country of embracing Kurdish militants and allowing them to demonstrate on the streets of Stockholm.

The two Nordic nations abandoned their traditional military neutrality in response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Another big blow to Putin

Another knock on Putin!


Will he start a new war with Finland, when he is still busy with a Ukraine he claimed to level in 2 weeks?

Sweden should please follow!


Putins cowardice will now be exposed. Finland also shares boarders with Russia. If he does not invade Finland, then his war in Ukraine is baseless!



When you boast too often, people will get tired of it and becomes irrelevant.

The United States should deploy nuclear arsenals to Finland immediately, since Putin will be deploying to Belarus too.

Why focus on Ukraine, when a Finland that shares same boundaries with Russia is joining NATO?

If Putin cannot go to war with Ukraine, then his war in Ukraine is baseless, unwarranted and foolish, and also buttresses the notion that, their is more to the Ukraine invasion.

Lol go and read about the Winter War and see how Finland single handedly bloodied the nose of Russia. Yet you think the Russia that struggled with Ukraine and Finland can take on 30 member country.

bloodied by ceding southern Finland to Russia?

Russia has it stands now is fighting NATO and their allies altogether in Ukraine single handedly. The over rated US would not even dare invade somalia without their allies. We know who the boss is.

The war didn't start in 2022. Ukraine brought it upon themselves when they started looking Pro Russians in the donbass region. Finland is not going that so Russia has no reason for any military operation there.

They should go and join NATO na grin grin cheesy. Why it dey pain Una like this. They should accept them since she stop disturbing our ears. If they want any reaction from Russia they won't get anything and this is why they have been deliberately stalling to see if Russia would react. This is a chessboard Game, let NATO move their pawn , Russia will move theirs as well but at the right time. So relax this is a military operation and Russia is not in a hurry to end it.

Hehehe lol the reason us does joint invasion is to legitimise its operations.

And of course war is easy when you are willing to destroy all civilian infrastructure. It becomes harder when you have to separate civilian from military targets.

This is what the pro west crowds don’t understand. There is a difference between a conventional warefare where the lives of the civilians is of utmost priority, cos u went it there in the first place to stop the enemy from killing them, and that’s what Russia is doing. Western art of warfare is to destroy and burn anything in their path. Civilian lives doesn’t matter , they go in bomb 💣 💣 and then runs off, without achieving their initial goals. Russia is by far doing great considering that they are up against more than 30 countries. No country can do better

Do a google search (if they haven’t removed or reduced the nos) of how many civilians died in the us/nato invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam. It’s counted in millions. Just imagine that. They were striking wedding parties and birthday events in Afghanistan. in Vietnam they used the napalm spray chemical that kills and infects an entire village, the few that survived ends up with long term defects which they are still suffering till date. We all watched how they struck a house killing 7 kids during their humiliating chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal. ICC judges turned the other way.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, says the Kremlin is not threatened by Finland and Sweden joining NATO, but that Russia will however, take military countermeasures.

“There is nothing to worry us in terms of Swedish and Finnish membership of NATO.’’

He rather threatened that both countries should be prepared for a Russian reaction.

“They must clearly understand that previously there were no threats to them, but if troops were stationed there and infrastructure established, we will have to respond accordingly.

“And they will also make the same threats to the territory from where threats to us are coming.

“Everything is good between us, but now there will be some tension, that is obvious and there is no doubt about that, it can’t go any other way,’’ Putin said.
