According to the Russian president, Finland was “dragged” into Nato.

As a Finn I say this is fine. Every military resource that is tied down and not raping and destroying Ukraine is net positive.

    You’re probably right, but that was exactly what people were commenting while russian troops were officially still just doing an exercise near the Ukrainian border. Putin is a madman and capable of unexpected crazy behaviour

      I suppose, but attacking NATO would be a whole other level of crazy. The biggest winner there would be Ukraine.

        If Russia triggers article 5 Ukraine will be a smoking crater just like the rest of the planet

      Well no actually. US intelligence was basically telling the entire world that the invasion was 100 percent going to happen. How do you not remember that?

        I don’t because idk who they told it to. Not me (I was just concerned it would happen by myself) and obviosly not the many people who were still commenting it would never happen while russian soldiers had already been reported crossing the Ukrainian border
