its one of the good ones, that putin wont defenestrate yet.
"You and what army?"
Maybe the would like the northern fleet docked <200k from the Finnish boarder at Severomorsk to get some action? And by action I mean likely involuntary submersion.
He's right.
If Finland enters the war, Russia can look forward to 2x the drone strikes on its fossil fuels and 2x the rate of 200/400 cargo
Even if Finland isn’t ready to go with the drones, you know Ukraine is shipping hundreds to take advantage of new launch sites!

"one of the Russian soldiers comes crawling back out of the treeline, and yells, 'Don't believe him! There are 2 of them!'"
They always send the second guy out in Summer
I mean, Finland is so nice in the summer you gotta let people take their month off then rather than in winter.
Lol my buddy went back to finland to serve for a few years and he said summer was the swampiest shit he's ever seen. He certainly had a good time tho
Um... did this guy forget Finland is part of the EU? Lol
NATO, too.
Russia is at war with NATO since Putin took over. At least propaganda wise. Why do you think their media ghouls keep hitting that "nuke it" red button at the first queue of Europe.
It is the reason tankies keep slinging same narrative.
Based on how the last war went, I don't think Finland needs any help.
Watch Putin attack Finland to trigger NATO just because he can. He already knows he's finished. I don't think the Russian people or the oligarchs are very happy with him.
They're in a bad position long-term. I get him trying to bring back some Soviet glory but didn't work out the way they expected. Now the only sliver of hope they have is snagging up those natural gas fields in Eastern Ukraine.
Whereas of course he was their favourite person before the war.
They didn't mind him at least and let him run the country the way he wanted. He needs support from Russians to continue existing as their leader.
He's a dictator. They can't exactly deselect him.
Yeah sure, but he's not immortal or untouchable. Dictators can and has been removed from power previously.
The smart one sure the dumb ones try and hang on to power longer than it's possible and then end up having to be killed in order to get rid of them.
I have a feeling that Putin is too much of a control freak whoever just surrender power on his own. Nothing short of a military coup will deseat him
no one liked Stalin either but they were terrified of him.
They are so many, and we are so small Where shall we bury them all?
in New Finland? previously known as Russia. it's next to New Ukraine and Bigger China.
Greater Mongolia should also have some space
Right next to North Kazakhstan.
Yeah... definitely what Russia needs now is to start Winter War part two.
Second country you will lose to?
Bullies flail so predictably when they start losing.
Isn't now the perfekt time to invade Russia?
"They continue escalation, trying in every possible way to anger Russia. We, of course, will not succumb to provocations, but we will strengthen our defense on this very significant section of the border. Even now, I assure you, we have enough military equipment concentrated there to blow up half of Finland."
Zhuravlyov accused Finland of "gradually turning into a second Ukraine" following its decision to join NATO in 2023.
Says the one who regularly violates Finnlands (and other nordic countries') borders with Jets and boats?
Finland has been preparing for a Russian invasion since the end of the last world war, joining the EU just made the relationship with their European neighbors official
Both the USSR and Finland figured the fight would be between the great powers and the USSR. The USSR wanted Finland to be neutral to close off that route of invasion, and Finland wanted to be neutral and sit out any war.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finno-Soviet_Treaty_of_1948
Under the treaty, which was signed on 6 April 1948, the Soviets sought to deter Western or Allied Powers from attacking the Soviet Union through Finnish territory,
Under the pact, Finland was obliged to resist armed attacks by "Germany or its allies" (in reality interpreted as "the United States and allies")[citation needed] against Finland, or against the Soviet Union through Finland. If necessary, Finland was to ask for Soviet military aid to do so.
The agreement also recognized Finland's desire to remain outside great-power conflicts, allowing the country to adopt a policy of neutrality in the Cold War.
Finland followed the Eastern Bloc countries' decision and did not participate in the Marshall Plan.
But that doesn't hold in today's world where Russia is little more that a terrorist country that wants bits of land, so they joined NATO.
