Great news !
Russia is the big loser in all these knowing that Finland shares a long border with Russia. What Putin is trying to avoid by invading Ukraine, he is getting it wotowoto !
Let him try nonsense with Finland and NATO will respond accordingly

I mean NATO will not even dare attack Russia from Finland

raskymonojendor:
Congrats Finland.

Sorry Putin. You went to war in Ukraine because of small Ukraine (poorest country in Europe) that won't even qualify to join NATO in the next 20 years. While doing that, Finland and Sweden (much more powerful and rich countries that are neutral are now going to join NATO.

Ukraine is more important to Russia

Wagwanbrethren:

Why then did Putin/Russia threaten them against joining NATO in the first place if they pose no danger! Or why did he feel threatened?

If they don't threaten them, what is the justification for fighting Ukraine?

Wagwanbrethren:

I'm not disputing the bolded, my question is simple. If Finland pose no threat, why then did Putin have to waste his time threatening them, he should have ignored them, right? 😄

If they don't threaten them, what is the justification for fighting Ukraine?

If he ignores them, why didn't he ignore Ukraine?

That is double standard. He mustn't allowed the naive see through it.

That is real politics

Thanksful:

Then, that means they feel threatened, or Finland is a threat to them. If not why will you have to justify fighting with Ukraine by threatening Finland! Make me understand. 🤷‍♂️

You talk like a child. Everyone feels threatened that is why weapons are developed every day. That is why people go to school.

Everything man does is out of threat.

Good! Finland is a threat to them, so they need to threaten Finland against joining NATO, because if Finland wasn't a threat they wouldn't have bothered threatening Finland!

It's simple logic, my boy! 😄

The world opinion is a threat not Finland. You mind is too small reason outside the box

You read but lack comprehension capacity. The answer to this is in the place you mentioned this.

But let me help though you will not understand but for the sake of those with brain that will come across this.

NATO needs Ukraine resources so they want Ukraine. Russian know if NATO take Ukraine, their financial power will increase. They will want more resources.

Russian will be the next victim. To stop it, either Ukraine is independent of NATO or Ukraine is under Russia.

Finland has nothing special to offer in terms of resources so NATO doesn't need them but they need NATO to flex muscle. Russia doesn't need Finland too because they doesn't have future financial gain to NATO.

Finland is a liability to NATO. They can only take from NATO and not give.

Why is Russia threatening Finland?

To save face from the naive population of the world. Why fight Ukraine for the same thing you are not fighting Finland?

This small question will turn the table against Russia because many don't see the real picture but the presented picture so the politicians are always presenting pictures.

Why NATO will accept Finland

To save face too. To want Ukraine but not Finland? People will begin to ask questions until they get the real fact.

Public opinion will go against NATO.

Finland is the winner here but they think they are smart. NATO will handle them at the right time for this smartness

Simple, Finland is a threat, hence the threat from Russia! 🤣

How foolish are some of you exactly, Ukraine is literarily the closest link Russia has to it's past,they couldn't care less about Finland, how does this news affect Russia by any way. Finland just committed suicide because in case of a NATO Russia was they'll be nuked first, they already have 13 ICBM pointed at them as of today, what is there to celebrate in your impending doom

You're a compound mumu,they literarily never threatened Finland even with sanctions not to talk of war, Finland is practically useless to Russia,they couldn't care less, they share absolutely nothing apart from borders. Now Finland has 13 icmb targeting them as of today,the happiest place on Earth with nukes directed towards them

Thanksful:


Too slow with your brain. One day someone like you go one contest for pregnancy?

NATO presence in Ukraine and Finland doesn't pose same danger. Doesn't offer same advantage to both NATO and Russia.

Your brain can't process that.

Do you know how many countries that want to join NATO but NATO no gree? Finland is chasing clout with NATO membership.

NATO is only accepting to safe face.

Politics is not your thing. Try literature

It's ridiculous how ignorant some of this kids are, imagine thinking Russia could care less about Finland,like they don't have NATO on Thier borders before

Finland just basically put itself in trouble

lecowas:
Putin appears to be be winning the battle, but he clearly lost the war

Spoken like a typical Nigerian who knows absolutely nothing about politics.
Loose war because a country of zero significance is joining NATO, why the Fvck would he care if Finland is trying to get itself nuked when the war finally starts

You started with insult yet u know nothing! Only the border Finland shared with Russia is almost the same with the one whole NATO had with Russia pre-finland.

Lemme simplify it for u, NATO direct border with Russia has just doubled only with Finland joining, same effect as Ukraine joining . Do ur research before u jump around and type sh*t.

Talking abt nuke, be happy cos u don't know the consequences, it might trigger the end of multiple races. Its called MAD!

Only kids are happy when they hear abt wars and especially nuke, but people bragging with nukes shows they're only adults with kids brain. Everyone go chop the breakfast. Dey play

See this bloody liar, making noise like wetin I no understand. You wan deny wetin dey media all these while?

Oboy shut up, and stop foaming in the mouth abeg! 🤣

Christistruth03:

Finland had no plans to join NATO before Putin Invaded Ukraine

Finland is only looking after its future defence

LMAO. Finland and Sweden have always been de facto NATO members. The Russian-Ukraine imbroglio only gives them the excuse to become dejure members. So,nothing new here.

Done.

You don't have to be surprised. Western politicians with few exceptions act based on emotions. Just imagine that at a time when many nations are now turning away from the Western-led bloc of imperialism and warmongering, diabolic gun-boat diplomacy, midgets like Finland ruled by equally emotional politicians devoid of pragmatic and logical reasoning are pitching tents with NATO, a bloc that most ordinary people in the Western hemisphere are increasingly seeing and protesting against as the greatest threat to the European and the global peace order.

Just recently, more than half of the lawmakers in the Austrian parliament walked out of a televised speech being made to the House by Zelensky of Ukraine. Other countries like Croatia, Hungary, Chech Republic, and Bulgaria are increasingly getting fed up and switching to neutral status in the face of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine because they understand that, once the real first shot gets fired between NATO and Russia, nothing would defend or save them from Russian nukes, tactical or otherwise. It is when war breaks out that the majority of these so-called NATO member states will realize that they don't have a population that is ready to fight for them. This is the reason they don't want people to see the massive anti-NATO protests that keep reoccurring in many cities across Europe--Prague, Madrid, Paris, London, Italy, Muniche, and more, that the Western mainstream media are refusing to televise. It is only here on Nairaland you see people celebrating Finland joining NATO because so many of them are just emotional while some are honestly ignorant of the facts on the ground.

Whatever, the world will keep on going but the doomsday clock is ticking closer to midnight. We can only hope for the best.

I have been looking for your take on this issue amongst other notable unbiased nairalanders. You and Pansophist and to am extent Vily. Waiting for people like Olugabi and Jashub... Enlightenment is all I seek.

Chill! Weapon is not the purpose of fight here. Resources is

sosanova:
Turkey has finally allowed dropped their objections and voted in support to Finland join NATO.
Is Turkey truly an ally of Russia by allowing and also voting in support of Finland joining NATO

Turkey is a spoiler ,neither here nor there. The same turkey that closed the Bosporus sea against Russia,sold drones to Ukraine that were game changer on battle field against Russian tanks,as if that is not enough ,the drowning of Russian prize flagship naval vessels ;Moskva was distracted by Turkish drones before Ukraine Neptune missiles hit it.
